2. Our Problem
 Misconceptions about the quality of McDonald’s
food.
 The truthful information, posted by McDonald’s, is
not as open / transparent as it could be.
 Push people to the site for their Food FAQ (What
We’re Made Of)

3. Our Goals
 Inform the customer’s about the quality of
McDonald’s food in a fun and interactive way.
 We want customers to discover the truthful
information in a way that is enjoyable and
education.

4. The Target
 Our target customers are those who already eat
at McDonald’s locations, as well as those who do
not.
 Word of mouth is an ideal spread of the campaign.
 We do not want to segment down the customers
too much, because everyone who visits
McDonald’s can learn new, positive, things
about how the company prides itself on quality.

5. Key Consumer Insights
 A great deal of misinformed information about
food quality.
 The internet has further perpetuated the spread of
misconceptions.
 Fake meat
 “blended parts”
 Supersize Me facts
 People do not realize that 87% of McDonald’s
are locally franchised.

6. Main Message
 Because McDonald’s values their consumer
above all else, they themselves uphold quality to
the highest standards.
 “Feel Good About the Food You Already Love”

7. Our Plan: Ronald’s Road
 The “Yellow Brick Road of McDonald’s”
 In store
 Vinyl Ronald (Each numbered) foot prints leading from
the door to the counter – great advertising for little
money

 Entry mat with two foot prints starting off the road
 Up the wall
 On the side of the drive through windows
 Each with a fun fact about McDonald’s food quality
