HIGHLIGHTS

 
 

The Flip - Celebrating International Women's Day

 

For decades, 60% of McDonald's restaurants have been owned or operated by women. To recognize that legacy, the brand flipped its iconic “M” to a “W” at one location—from the roadside sign to in-store packaging.

Across the country, 100 female-owned restaurants adopted the rebrand on bags, cups, fry boxes, and tray liners. The flipped Golden Arches spread across late-night shows, social media, and mass media, amplifying awareness for International Women’s Day.

The Fries We Share 

 

McDONALD'S / WE ARE UNLIMITED

For the first time ever, we gave people a way to share our iconic fries with anyone, anywhere. On social media, we asked people to tag loved ones with whom they would like to share fries during the holidays. We then surprised them with a one-of-a-kind card that transformed into a fry box, which their distant friends and family could fill at any McDonald’s.

Szechuan Returns

 

McDONALD'S / WE ARE UNLIMITED

Here’s a story about listening to your audience—and a 20-year-old dipping sauce. When Rick and Morty revived interest in Szechuan Sauce, fans became obsessed. McDonald's responded with a Periscope livestream, surprising a few fans, then re-released limited batches nationwide.

Demand exploded—packets resold for thousands, and stores saw massive lines, traffic jams, and unrest.
All for a dipping sauce.

The Village

 

APPAREL FOR A CAUSE / POP-UP WITH A PURPOSE

In partnership with Kareem Price x ShabbyFly Apparel, The Village is an apparel brand rooted in community impact. Each release and pop-up donates proceeds to local charities supporting education, child development, families, and the arts.

For Season One, proceeds supported Hephzibah Children’s Association, helping children thrive and families flourish through community-based programs, including Camp HepSIBah, which reunites separated siblings each summer.

 
 

The Shambow

 

McDONALD'S / WE ARE UNLIMITED

Winter can be gray, dull, and long. But each year, people look forward to the return of one McDonald's classic: the Shamrock Shake.

Using social listening, we identified a city deep in winter fatigue and delivered a bright antidote—a large-scale, shareable moment that fused optimism with the product.

Introducing Shambow, the Shamrock Shake rainbow.
