Share in the true spirit of Ramadan

Whilst most avoid the potential backlash of culturally-insensitive advertising during Ramadan, McDonald’s simply couldn’t. Not when it repeatedly impacts our bottom-line. Instead of fighting a month of self-restraint with food-romance, we crafted a gripping narrative. This Ramadan, McDonald’s became the vehicle for all to share in the spirit of the holy month. Featuring the “Happy Sharing Box”, we showed how a simple act of sharing elevates Ramadan from being about connections amongst Muslims to connections amongst Singaporeans. And in sharing we too received: 11.5% increased sales, 20% increase on McDelivery.

Time to Grow. Time to Speak.

How to grow if you're a leader of a stagnating category? How to grow during FIFA World cup if you're neither its sponsor, nor linked with football? We knew Russians would do literally anything for their foreign guests. Even if it requires speaking English. Orbit launched “Time to speak” campaign and inspired Russians to speak English “from ze haart”. It was Time to Shine for the country! The results exceeded expectations: Orbit sales +16,5%/+16,8% (value/volume); category sales +5,7%/+17,3% (value/volume).

What It Takes To Protect

Lysol had been sidelined. Considered too harsh for everyday use, it was losing relevance with moms – even during Cold & Flu season. But by showing moms that Lysol’s strength was matched only by their own, we increased sales, significantly outpacing the category, and became Cold & Flu season heroes once again.
