Campaign Story of the Week
McDonald's has cleverly utilised a billboard, extending beyond its frame, to emphasise value for its Saver Menu in a cheeky campaign by Leo Burnett. The poster, part of the eight-year-old "Like getting your money's worth?" platform, showcases a spilled-over image of a Double Cheeseburger Saver Meal Deal, highlighting the brand's maximised use of the media site. The creative strategy aims to resonate with consumers by celebrating the joy of great deals in a light-hearted and culturally relevant way.
