Big Mac
with Bacon

For the launch of the limited edition Big Mac with Bacon, McDonald’s wanted to encourage debate: is a Big Mac with Bacon still a Big Mac?


We knew the nation loves a good bit of banter – so who was best to kick start the ‘beef’?

Famous father-son duo, Harry #NotABigMac and Jamie #StillABigMac Redknapp picked a side. Harry’s history of leaning out of his car window on transfer day was the perfect pastiche for a Drive-Thru moment.

Made
You Look.

Launched the day before transfer day, the resulting award-winning video was McDonald’s most successful organic content of all time.

2m organic views in 24hrs, 10m+ to date.

You Care.

Big Mac sales targets smashed.
