McDonald’s enthusiasts are extremely loyal to their preferred menu items and the unique, personalized ways in which they like to consume them. However, what may be unknown to these fans is that McDonald's Canada also has its own preferences - a strong emphasis on food quality and an unwavering commitment to sourcing Canadian ingredients, which are integral to creating the ultimate fan experience.
It's Not Just Good Quality, “It’s a McDonald’s Thing"

To help help share their commitment, McDonald’s Canada has rolled out its latest campaign - “It’s a McDonald’s Thing.”  The campaign highlights everything from the way they dip their fries, their ritual of always ordering two hash browns, how they always hack their Big Mac, or their habit of stealing a chicken nugget from their partner—everyone has a McDonald’s thing. 

It's Not Just Good Quality, “It’s a McDonald’s Thing"

“We took a very intentional fan-first approach when it came to the launch of this new campaign, which is a departure from how we’ve typically told our food quality story in the past,” says Rebecca Smart, Director, Brand Marketing at McDonald’s Canada. “This campaign is really about building a connection to our customers, as it acknowledges and celebrates their unique fan truths. In doing so, we were able to authentically talk about the quality and sourcing of our food by sharing our own brand truth—the quality of our food.” 

McDonald’s worked with their long-standing AOR, Cossette who created a campaign that leverages TV, OLV, OOH (streetcars and TSAs), high-impact video OOH at Yonge and Dundas Square, digital media, paid and organic social, and in-store creative.
