The campaign features sections of the golden arches logo as the only graphic element, paired with a simple instructional line, allowing them to work anywhere in the world with any language and be immediately recognizable as the brand.
“We noticed that all over Canada, from major cities to small towns, you could find signs directing you to the nearest McDonald’s. This campaign is a nod to those signs, but with a fun visual twist. With minimal text and a creative use of the brand’s colours and logo, Follow the Arches not only translates on a national, but a global scale,” noted Peter Ignazi, Chief Creative Officer at Cossette.
The out-of-home campaign will consist of four billboards (three static and one digital) in high traffic areas across downtown Toronto and the GTA, targeting people on the go who might just need a little reminder that the next McDonald’s is just a left or right turn away.
