MCDONALD'S “THE FLIP”

We Are Unlimited

🚨1.6 BILLION IMPRESSIONS 🚨

Adweek’s #7 Best Marketing Stunt of 2018

 

Millions of women have chosen McDonald's to be a part of their story. The challenge: How do we break through the chatter to recognize and celebrate every woman on International Women's Day? By flipping the iconic golden arches to a "W" at 100 female-owned-and-operated store locations around the United States.
