Back in 1996, the first McDonald's in Croatia opened. Today there are 34 restaurants in 10 cities. As appetites grew, so did McDonald's, and its quality and brand image are still a reflection of high global standards with the "spice" of the local spirit. Through various promotions, new desserts, toys, restaurant modernizations - we serve only the best marketing support!
Local campaigns can greatly increase the popularity and visibility of major global brands. In this way, we show that communication between the brand and consumers is not one-way, but also two-way - even more than that, brands are ready to adapt to the market. McDonald's is no exception. In a series of TV spots designed and recorded in Croatia, both cultural symbols and a special expression characteristic of our climate can be recognized. It turned out that such a strategy enabled McDonald's to go even deeper into the lives and hearts of Croatian consumers.
Given the important, round, anniversary, communication and promotional idea was to express gratitude to all customers for 20 years of loyalty. A completely new, completely local hamburger with ingredients typical of Croatian cuisine - HRburger - was designed. Local flavors, a local name and local production has spawned wonderful food shots with an emphasis on local produce. The success of the promotion is also shown by the second edition of HRburger two years later, which the guests of the restaurant were happy to welcome.
Some celebrate a birthday with cake and candles, and the Big Mac celebrates it with bacon. Some organize classic celebrations, and McDonald’s challenges its consumers to try the Big Mac with bacon and discuss whether the Big Mac with bacon is still the Big Mac. With an interesting TV spot, the consumer perception from the teaser phase to the reveal phase was attracted by the original and entertaining OOH and online campaign. Is it possible to make an original local solution out of a global idea? The answer is in this case - yes!
