Creative Execution

Smoothie Farmer mobile game ran on McDonald’s Finland’s mobile application and was promoted with a direct push notification for application users, rich media web tv spots, social media channels and online and mobile advertising.

Over 23 000 players in total was 3000 over the target of 20 000. 9900 (43 %) of the players completed the game and were awarded with a voucher for a free Smoothie. 6 800 (69 %) of them redeemed the voucher in restaurant. That was 1 800 (36 %) over the target of 5 000.

We wanted to tell skeptical customers that the new McDonald’s Smoothie is made of real fruit. We asked them to grow their own fruit in Smoothie Farmer mobile game where the fruit grew faster if the user took care of them as the weather changed in their location. It took 3-to-5 days to grow all the fruit: 5-day-ad in our customer’s pocket.
