Execution
During launch period, we designed McDonald’s newspaper, introducing breakfast products in an entertaining way.Newspapers were distributed by newsboys around restaurants, bus stops, business centers and subway stations.Newsboys captured consumers’ attention yelling on the streets as “Writing latest news! McDonald’s breakfast news is only here!”McDonald’s package boys distributed free product coupons and invited consumers to restaurants.After the breakfast service widened to 36 restaurants, TV and internet usage were planned. Boards in subway stations and billboards were used to create awareness.McDonald’s breakfast song was aired to make consumers think to have a breakfast.Additionally we sponsored two morning shows. Wrote small radio plays, quizes and games.Two real theatre players took part as listeners, they phoned DJs, talked about benefits of breakfast and recommended McDonald’s breakfast in a humorous way.Listeners phoned DJs, played games and won free breakfast.
