Story | This campaign was about generating buzz by asking people to name the new burger using the power of sns to regain those users who had lost interest in mcdonald's. Japanese love expressing opinions on social media so they jumpted at the opportunity to participate with the new mcdonald's campaign. Influencers including youtubers joined in the fun and provoked conversation. As it turned out, name it campaign received over 5 million entries, making it the biggest naming campaign ever seen before in japan. We invited people to engage with the brand, through their own creativity, by personalizing a major product. We collaborated with bakarhythm, a deadpan comedian with a large twitter following, to reveal the long temporary name and invited people to try our newest burger. Then we asked them to give it a shorter name that described the great taste – with the campaign “name it burger.” |
