Reigniting America’s Favorite Breakfast
Challenge
McDonald's Today, people have more choices for breakfast than ever before. But that doesn’t mean they’re good choices. Nothing compares to a hot McDonald’s breakfast, and it was time to remind people what they were missing. With a brand as iconic as McDonald’s, the challenge isn’t to drive awareness for their breakfast–it’s to drive traffic by making McDonald’s breakfast a part of America’s daily routine. And that’s exactly what we did.
Solution
At the market level, we amplified and localized a national campaign around a rallying cry to “Wake Up Breakfast.” Our strategy team mined data to identify traffic-driving opportunities down to the local store level. Our omni-channel campaign reminded people that they don’t have to settle for a sad breakfast, because a hot, fresh and great-tasting breakfast is just a drive-thru away.
Results
Store traffic is up. And more people than ever are starting their day at McDonald’s. Convinced America breakfast on the go no longer meant settling Reestablished McDonald’s as part of morning routines A campaign that is increasing guest counts and comp sales 11% Increase in average sales vs pre-promo 10% Increase in customer check in Michigan 13% Increase in sales of promoted products in Indiana
