Challenge
McDonald's consistently produces high production value national advertising campaigns to support new product launches, creating a high-stakes, high-pressure environment with exceptionally high standards.
Insight
The cumulative impact of small details makes a significant difference in the overall appeal of an advertisement. Ensuring that the product looks appealing is of paramount importance in driving customer interest and trial.
Solution
Develop creative, engaging, and distinctly Canadian national advertising campaigns that deliver simple, persuasive messaging. These campaigns aim to drive appeal and desire for new products while stimulating trial by connecting with Canadian audiences and not merely adapting American content.

Results
- Consistent strong performance of new food advertising campaigns
- "Mighty Angus" became one of McDonald's Canada's most successful new product launches ever
- Projects were delivered on time and on budget, contributing to the overall success of McDonald's Canada's marketing efforts
