Creative Execution

We started with a craving-inducing offer: Free Fries. Then with Meitu we created a bespoke McDonald’s 'Fry finder' for their app. We then invited people to take photos of anything that resembled a McDonald’s Fry, which they could then exchange for free fries. Photos filled our Weibo website, which people could rate, filter and share. And redeem their free fries.

Campaign generated 3 million clicks in two weeks, 203,234 unique visits to the Weibo campaign page and over 674,738 photos were taken. Consumers created over half a million individual pieces of sharable content on behalf of the brand. And made millions of people think about Fries at times when McDonald’s is not usually on their mind.

Chinese people haven't grown up with McDonald's French fries. We were tasked with igniting Chinese people’s desire for fries virtually from scratch. When you see McDonald’s fries, you crave them – badly. So much so that you begin to see Fries everywhere. Our target audience are huge smart phone users, so we decided to target them through Meitu, China’s largest photo sharing app (the Instagram of China). Meitu has over 20 million daily users.
