McDonald’s promises to deliver your Big Mac in 30 minutes

SHANGHAI - McDonald’s delivery riders have personally committed to the fast food giant's latest '30 Minute Challenge’ campaign.

TBWA Shanghai is launching a new campaign for long-time client McDonald’s to promote its 24-hour delivery service. The ‘30 Minute Challenge’ campaign features 12 real delivery riders who guarantee delivery within half an hour regardless of the weather and traffic conditions.

McDonald’s is the first fast food service bold enough to guarantee delivery time in China. It not only promises delivery within 30 minutes, but also assigns one dedicated rider for each customer's order.

In the "unlikely event of a delay", McDonald's will compensate each customer with a redemption coupon worth US$4.70 (RMB30). That amount will buy you a Big Mac meal, with change to spare, provided that the delivery reaches you on time this time.

Ian Thubron, TBWA's Greater China group president, commented, “It’s a brave move for any client to feature its own employees in their advertising. It's incredibly human and warm, and serves to deepen trust and confidence in the (McDonald’s) brand.”

The integrated campaign comprising TV, OOH, digital, and in-store elements aims to position McDonald's as fast, fun and dependable.

McDonald’s in February this year also appointed RAPP China to collect and analyse data from its delivery services so that it can tailor its promotional campaigns.

By 2013, McDonald's hopes to add 700 outlets to its already existing 1,300 by going on the franchising offensive.
