Venez Comme Vous Êtes (Come As You Are)

You want to involve people in your advertising. So they pay attention to it, and maybe even tell other people about it.

Like so:

On Friday the 24th of February, in the heart of the Parisian business district La Défense, McDonald’s and BETC gave passers-by the opportunity to have their photo taken and integrated into the new McDonald’s outdoor print campaign.

From the looks of it, the participants had a good time. Which is the whole point of the McDonald’s brand experience. It’s a fun place with fun food. The brand’s advertising needs to reflect that, and in this case it does.

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.
