TV ad: McDonald's: Squad

Embed Video

Nothing beats a group of mates hitting the open road for a Macca's Run (aka Aussie slang for 'Wanna get McDonald's?) during Summer. So we celebrated with an ad that showed just that. Except... it's no ordinary group of friends, with the OG Macca's characters taking on Australia for an epic Macca's run. Mirroring everything from real Aussie behaviour with group chat threads, road trip vibes and more.
