Pick of the Week: McDonald’s

McDonald's film for its 'Happy Price Combos' stands out as our pick this week. The film has been conceptualised by Leo Burnett India.

 

Diversity and its has need in advertising in particular has been discussed across festivals and this ad celebrates just that. The anthem that has been sung by kids, gives the film an added flavour. 

 

Kedar Teny, director marketing and digital, McDonald’s India, said, “McDonald’s innovative product offerings have always struck a chord with the ever-evolving consumers. With the launch of Happy Price Combo, we want to give our customers a chance to customise and enjoy their favourite meal and beverage combo. Moreover, the #BeDifferentTogether campaign also highlights how McDonalds is a melting pot of divergent lifestyles coming together to create some classic moments. We are confident that this campaign will resonate well with our audiences.”

 

Rajdeepak Das, CCO, Leo Burnett, South Asia, said, “There hasn’t been a better time to champion the cause of diversity. And who better than McDonald’s to celebrate this? McDonald’s has always been about people coming together over a nice meal, no matter how different. In fact, it’s our differences that make our relationships better. Ergo, we featured people who may be completely opposed in their food and lifestyle choices, but are very happy in each other’s company despite that. This led to the larger thought #BeDifferentTogether, and I am confident that every viewer will see a little bit of themselves in this commercial.”
