The brand is open to suggestions to get into audience agenda with low budget ideas.
We identify 17 of July is world Emoji day. And it is a relevant day for a country with high rates of social media usage and smartphone penetration.
Idea
To celebrate world Emoji day, we made 3 McDonald's icons entirely with Emojis and invite the audience to play drawing the Happy Meal with Emojis too.
Best Happy Meal draws made of Emojis could win a toys collection.
Strategy
75% of Paraguay population is under 39 years old.
96,7% penetration of smartphones and 85% access to Facebook and Instagram everyday.
