For their global FIFA World Cup sponsorship, McDonald’s changed the iconic fry boxes for the first time. We created content that drove consumers to purchase these boxes and in doing so, become part of the games themselves by participating in the world's largest Augmented Reality tournament.

Global App Store Optimization was implemented ensuring consumers could easily find the app and boost ranking. Then, McDonald’s became the first QSR brand to ever run a global Promoted Trend on Twitter, using #FryFutbol in 57 countries and 14 languages. This not only drove awareness of the app, but also included a direct call-to-action to download it at gol.mcd.com. We ran an online video using everyday futbol stars that listed gol.mcd.com in the end frame on YouTube, furthering consumer awareness. Additionally, gol.mcd.com displayed in stadium touchlines throughout the tournament. All media led consumers to the download the app.
