New Delhi: Days after giving in to the popular consumer demand of bringing back Chicken McGrill burger, McDonald’s India North & East has launched the #McGrillisBack campaign for the most talked about burger in town. If you are wondering what’s so special about the campaign? Well! Chicken McGrill fans started a petition and took to social media to begin a movement asking McDonald’s to #BringMcGrillBack, which further found support from comic Abhishek Upmanyu and actor Neha Dhupia who also signed the petition and spoke about their love for the burger. After a large number of requests started pouring in, McDonald’s decided to listen to its customers and announced the re-introduction of the most talked about burger in town. Post the formal announcement by McDonald’s, Chicken McGrill fans again took to social media to express their love and emotions for Chicken McGrill.
Now keeping consumers hooked to their favourite burger, the ‘#McGrillisBack’ campaign features actress Shreya Chaudhary taking a funny spin on some of the popular reactions by netizens on their love for Chicken McGrill and further conveying their favourite burger is back. Conceptualized by DDB Mudra, the campaign with the help of digital films uses situational humour in highlighting people’s unconditional love for the burger.
