Dad1.jpgTBWA\Shanghai has launched a new McDonald’s campaign in China to promote the Big Mac and other McDonald’s Beef products.

The new Beef ‘Daddy’ campaign follows hot on the heels of the award-winning ‘Manly man’ campaign, building on the macho theme, but with a fresh, creative approach.

In the television campaign, a young boy is asked to describe his ultimate macho hero and chooses what he sees as the obvious choice – his dad. This new McDonald’s ad explores this perspective on the father-son relationship in a fun and engaging way.

Brian Swords, Managing Director of TBWA\Shanghai commented, “It’s always hard to do the sequel to an award winning campaign, but we’re very proud of this work. It’s an authentic storyline, told with natural charm.”
