WHY WE THINK YOU'LL LOVE THIS ROLE
McDonald's is a global icon. A truly amazing brand recognised the world over. However, with increased competition, tough economic times and competitors copying the winning Happy Meal formula, McDonald's now has to deliver beyond the traditional toy in a box with more exciting, innovative and inspiring activation to maintain its Family share.
There is a plethora of activity starting with the Happy Meal toy to ensure we continually engage and interact with families. We hold a top table position with the other partner agencies. Working on the Canadian Family account, you will have the opportunity to work with some of the most well-known licenses and brands, such as Universal, Warner Brothers, Hasbro and Pokémon. We deliver around 10 Happy Meal campaigns a year, working across the book and toy development, packaging, POP, animation, and in-restaurant family experience.
This is a great role for someone starting out in their career who wants to learn and grow a successful marketing career.
