The Campaign

While Thai office workers are too busy to leave the office for lunch, they often take short breaks throughout workdays to surf the internet and keep up with news and events. This provides a great opportunity for McDonald’s to get in touch with them. Reminding them that whenever they take a break, the McDelivery service can help them getting lunch. McDonald’s would become a part of the targets’ daily routines by designing a new kind of media placements. For the first time, we replaced full stops in online news articles favored by office workers with McDonald’s burgers. We created the Full Stop Burger Banners to enable our targets to get full at every full stop.

Creative Execution

9 of Thailand’s most popular burgers were recreated as small colorful icons to be used as the Full Stop Burger Interactive Banners, which replaced full stops in online articles in news websites such as The Nation News Portal. The unexpected bombarding placements of the Full Stops encouraged interactions through hovering over the Full Stop with a cursor or tapping it on mobile phones. The interactions would expand the banner, and activate an animation of a mouth devouring the newly enlarged Full Stop Burger. The mouth would morph into an invitation for the targets to have a full stop, and then auto-redirected them to the McDonald’s website or the McDelivery mobile application where they could order tasty and satisfying burgers for lunch. The Full Stop Burger Banners ran in online news articles for a week with a focus on morning news to lead the targets to order lunchtime delivery.

This simple change turned the humble full stops into new media touchpoints to both tempt and enable hardworking office workers to get their much-needed lunch. The Full Stops had increased the number of visitors to the McDonald’s website and the McDelivery application by 15.8% compare with the previous daily average.

In Thailand, office workers do not have times for lunch breaks, but they still find the time to stop for short internet breaks during workdays to keep up with news. To bring McDonald’s belief of “Simple, Easy, and Delicious Moments for Everyone” into their busy office lives, we had replaced the full stops in online news articles favored by office workers with the Full Stop Burger Banners. Through the unexpected yet relevant design and media placements, the Full Stop Burger Banners are new online touchpoints that enable people to get full anytime they stop for a break with McDonald’s burgers.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Keeping up with the ongoing topics is important for Thai office workers, and they often stop working to check the news. By reaching out to them at the right time in the right place, McDonald’s could both remind and enable our targets to have lunch. Using unusual media placements, McDonald’s created new media touchpoints to direct office workers to the McDelivery online channels. By replacing the regular full stops, McDonald’s Full Stop Burger Banners became delicious touchpoints right inside online news articles. Instead of being forced to the sideline like the typical banners, our Full Stop Banners always remained within the target’s focus. The Full Stop’s placements targeted the morning news articles to reach the office workers before the lunch hour. To maximize the chance of encounters, the Full Stops were placed in various news article from different sections to extensively cover our targets’ interests.
