McDonald's online launch of Royale burgers

The Brief: Promote the new McDonald's Royale burgers online
The Idea: Take off on the most followed topic of the moment the elections and create our own parallel McDElections where burgers are standing for elections, trying to fight of the threat of the Grilled Chicken Royale and the McPaneer Royale.
A Microsite featured a viral video done in typical TV interview style of the candidates, the candidates manifestos while Facebook featured candidates and their supporters plugging the candidates.
The second phase revealed the winners – the Royale duo through a viral video and their manifestos, both on the microsite and on Facebook. Twitter newsjacking tracked popular newsarticles and tweaked them to suit a particular candidate.

The campaign won Silver at the DMAi Awards.
