Description
Developers, who are often so focused on coding that they forget to eat, will love the new McDonald’s Canada initiative developed in partnership with Cossette. Eat the Code centres on a clever promotional website hiding offers in lines of code that allow its finders to order their favourite items without having to step away from their computer.
The tech community continues to grow in Quebec, which is home to numerous video game studios, thousands of industry experts and a ton of tech enthusiasts. McDonald’s Canada created this promotional website to interact and have some fun with these creative spirits, all while tempting their taste buds during their well-deserved breaks.
In addition to a strong online presence, this campaign also includes digital signage where McDonald’s Canada products are illustrated in binary code, using 1s and 0s. These posters have been strategically placed near tech hubs and contain an actual message that only the smartest—or the most determined—will manage to decipher. As well, content will be rolled out through influencer marketing and on social media.
This professional campaign titled 'Eat the code' was published in Canada in June, 2024. It was created for the brand: McDonald's, by ad agency: Cossette. This Digital medium campaign is related to the Food industry and contains 2 media assets. It was submitted 3 months ago by Daphné Cousineau of Cossette.
