Arnold Deploys Hyperlocal TV To Promote Newman’s Own Organic Coffee at McDonald’s


Chris Edwards, executive vice president and group creative director at Arnold Worldwide, said, “The whole idea behind the quiz is: ‘Are you New England enough for this coffee?’ If you are from New England, you will get these references.”

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.

    Yeah, well…I grew up in NE, and I think some of the jokes are humorous, but to me this is typical of one of those lazy, clever ideas with a _huge_ creative flaw in the premise. Why is some guy basically quizzing his good buddy on whether or not they grew up together? The whole setup is sloppy and forced, and that just makes it all hard to swallow.
