OVERVIEW

Execution

For kids, a minute is the perfect amount of time to try something new. For the world, there is a global insight that children need to become more healthy and active. This program connected the McDonald’s brand with both these insights in a never-been-done-before way. McDonald’s spoke to kids in a language they understood, with an idea that kids found fun and parents found beneficial. The program also moved children by bringing the experience to them—in restaurants, through PR events, online, and supported by TV.
