The radio station called the bosses, and informed them that the tardy employee would be bringing them breakfast from McDonald’s to make up for their tardiness.In case you want to see a video explanation you can watch it at:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaT1ej_a89Q

We created Happy Boss a radio integration campaign where people running late for work were encouraged to call to the most popular morning radio show and provide the names of their impatient bosses. Then the radio show host called the bosses and informed them that the tardy employee would be bringing them breakfast from MCDONALD'S to make up for their tardiness. Supervisors found this funny and forgave the employee for arriving late. Those phone calls soon became the most effective way to show how a MCDONALD'S Breakfast makes everybody happy.

MCDONALD'S Breakfast Combos sales increased 196% during August, month when Happy Boss was aired as part of our communication campaign, setting a new record for the company. But more important, we created a new dialogue between the brand and consumers where both win. That way, MCDONALD'S reinforced its “I’m lovin’ it” positioning.
