In a world of mounting pressure and expectation, an invitation to McDonald’s provides us all with a small, but much needed moment of light-hearted release.However, we noticed something. An invitation to McDonald's is so universal that it can be communicated without words, food, or restaurants. All it takes, is a simple raise of the eyebrows - a gesture that everyone in the UK is familiar with.McDonald’s claimed ownership of that knowing look by turning it into an ownable action that quickly became a cultural trend that spread across 35 countries, via a fully integrated media plan that launched on Blue Monday at the beginning of January, with the goal of spreading joy at a time when the nation needs it most.We began with a bold experiential stunt that saw McDonald’s change their logo for the first time in history across physical signage, as well as social profiles.
