Students get McValue

McDonald's teamed up with student marketing specialists Campus Media to introduce the new McValue lunch offerings to the student market. The campaign was activated at 10 campuses nationwide, with a total team of 74 promoters and managers across all sites.
Students get McValue

Branded promoters were mobilised to distribute leaflets, engage students with news of the McDonald's McValue offering and encourage them to go to McDonald's for lunch - the key objectives of the campaign.

The "value" element was communicated in a fun and interactive way with the "Money Shower". This allowed students to engage with McDonald's and to stand an opportunity to win a variety of prizes. Students entered the Money Shower one by one and were given the challenge to grab as many coupons as possible with one hand in 20 seconds; further entrenching the R20 cost of the McValue meal in students minds.

Every hour the number of coupons was increased to give everyone a chance to win branded T-shirts, caps, can coolers, mugs and more. The grand winner at each of the 10 targeted campuses all received cash prizes.
