McDonald’s Captures Precious Everyday Moments in its Latest Campaign

Fave Student

We always look forward to milestones and celebrations that serve as breaks from the daily grind. But if we look back, our everyday moments are already rich with little stories of love and laughter—not the momentous occasions nor the over-the-top occurrences, but the little sparks that make us feel good.

It is these episodes which McDonald’s relives in its latest campaign—the “sarap” moments with the ones we hold dear that have us saying, “Love ko ‘to”.

McDonald’s gave us a glimpse of these precious feel-good moments in its first video, and has now released three new films, each telling a story that will surely warm your hearts.

In “Fave Student”, a young executive bumps into his high school teacher inside a McDonald’s store, and they relive happy memories (tiny.cc/FaveStudent). In “Little Sister”, a brother treats his younger sister to her favorite Happy Meal and discovers what else is keeping her young heart thrilled (tiny.cc/LittleSister). “Pagkakaibigan” tells the story of a barkada coming from a concert making a post-midnight stop at a McDonald’s to refuel, where a cup of coffee becomes all the more meaningful (tiny.cc/Pagkakaibigan).

Little Sister

Pagkakaibigan

No matter what time of day or the food we partake in, McDonald’s reminds us that it’s the people we share it with that makes every moment special.

Watch all three films on McDonald’s Youtube Page (youtube.com/mcdonaldsPH) and share with us your “sarap” moments by tagging us on Facebook (@McDonald’s), Twitter (@McDo_PH), and Instagram (@mcdo_ph).

McDonald’s Celebrates The Spirit of Togetherness with its Latest Video “Sarap ‘Pag Nandito Ka”

The holiday bells are ringing and days are filled with gatherings and get-togethers that mark us Filipinos as one of the happiest people in the world. It is during this time that we see people we’ve missed for the most part of the year, cherishing the relationships that have overcome the year’s challenges.

In McDonald’s latest video, we celebrate the warm spirit of togetherness that is uniquely Filipino.

For most of us, majority of our 365 days a year is spent away from our loved ones. Sacrifices are made— parents working abroad and missing their children’s milestones, or weekend work making us miss a peaceful Sunday at home with family.

And while all that time apart can never be brought back, catching up over your McDonald’s favorites makes it a little bit better.

“Filipino gatherings are unique for all the laughter and happiness it brings. Nothing beats the time spent with loved ones. May it be a big gathering or a quick catch-up, having it over your McDonald’s favorites makes it even more special,” shares Christina Lao, Marketing Director for
McDonald’s Philippines.

McDonald’s Philippines sweeps PANAta Awards 2019 with 15 wins

JULY 2019 - MANILA, PHILIPPINES — McDonald’s, and its creative agency Leo Burnett, once again dominated the stage during the 2019 PANAta Awards as the brand brought home a multitude of recognitions—including five Golds, four Silvers, three Bronzes, and three People’s Choice Awards. Amongst over 130 entries received, McDonald’s campaigns that were recognized for their excellence included “Hope for Marawi,” “Frymoji,” “Doodelivery,” “#WalangPasok Deals,” and “ShaGab Loves McDo.” 

The Philippine Association of National Advertisers (PANA) hosts its annual awards show called the PANAta Awards which showcases the industry’s best brand campaigns that have exhibited excellence in strategy, execution, and results. 

Last year, McDonald's won the Brand Builder of the Year Award for its McDelivery Pin campaign, following its induction into the “PANAta Hall Of Fame” the year before—a distinction held by no other brand in the industry.

“We always aim to deliver campaigns that showcase feel-good moments through stories that strongly resonate with the Filipino people. Our goal is to create strong and authentic connections with our customers, ensuring they have more and more reasons to love the brand and what it stands for,” says McDonald’s Marketing Director, Christina Lao.

Earlier this year, McDonald’s also won Gold for Advocacy for “Hope for Marawi” during the 2019 Asia-Pacific Tambuli Awards.
