To highlight Moving Day and the frenzy that goes along with it, McDonald's Canada and Cossette really hit home with the Always Around the Corner campaign. The initiative showed that, even when consumers change postal codes, McDonald鈥檚 is always nearby鈥攁 familiar, friendly presence on what鈥檚 often a very emotional day.
鈥淛uly 1st is a special day for everyone moving in Quebec, and McDonald鈥檚 is delighted to be part of it,鈥 noted Suzanne Grondin, marketing manager 鈥 Quebec, at McDonald鈥檚 Canada. "With our 300 restaurants across the province, Quebecers can count on us, no matter where they live鈥.
Drawing inspiration from Where鈥檚 Waldo?, the campaign showed three static visuals. The emblematic Golden Arches were cleverly hidden in Moving Day scenes, reinforcing McDonald鈥檚 presence in their daily lives.
鈥淐ome moving time, you鈥檙e always looking for something,鈥 said Fran莽ois-Julien Rainville, associate creative director at Cossette. 鈥淵ou look for boxes, you look for parking, you look for what you鈥檙e going to eat. But the one thing you don鈥檛 have to look for is a McDonald鈥檚.鈥
The campaign ran in print and on signage in the Montreal area as well as on social networks on July 1st.
