Sir Isaac Newton Returns
The McDonald’s campaign includes a TV commercial that begins with two Gen Z kids at a McDonald’s counter. While surfing around the menu board, they come across an unbelievable offer – a Chicken Surprise for INR 65 and a Coke Float for INR 49, yet the total is just INR 69! Their confusion is humorously compared to solving complex math that would baffle even Newton.
The scene then shifts to Isaac Newton under a tree, humorously struck by a Chicken Surprise Burger while enjoying a Coke Float. This strange incident inspires the genius, symbolizing a breakthrough in understanding the unbelievable value. The tagline ‘Value so good, it doesn’t add up‘ blends historical wit with modern value expectations in the commercial.
Marketing OP’s Word
Arvind RP, Chief Marketing Officer, McDonald’s India (W&S) said, “We are delighted to launch the McSavers+ campaign targeted at the youth. Our constant aim is to make delicious feel-good moments easy for everyone and democratise access to delicious food, being easy on the wallet. We have ensured that every aspect of this campaign – from the enticing price points to the playful and engaging communications – has been meticulously crafted to resonate with Gen Z, a key audience for McDonald’s.”
Furthermore, Chief Creative Officer of the DDB Mudra Group, Rahul Mathew said, “Value has become such an overused word and a blind spot in the retail world. We needed a new way to communicate the same to our GenZ audience. And so we decided to take them through the math (or the lack of it) in our offers. And who better to take them through it than someone who probably scored A++++ in his math class – Issac Newton.”
