Fast Food-Inspired Beachy Campaigns

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Leo Burnett Italia Unveils a New Summery McDonald's Campaign

— August 11, 2023 — Lifestyle
McDonald's in Italy unveils its latest campaign that highlights some of its signature menu items and logo in a beachy theme with the help of advertising agency Leo Burnett Italia. The summery visuals see the brand's cheeseburger reimagined as a set of swimming floats or the sand bucket and shovel representing the carton of french fries.

The parasols detailed ith polka-dots are also meant to represent the look of buns topped with sesame seeds. Additionally, the brand has more fun by imagining the Golden Arches as a pair of flip flops or condiments over fries in the form of red and yellow towels over some floaties. Beach balls that are around a whirlpool come together to replicate a McFlurry.
