As part of the campaign, the company has introduced double patty burgers in its all-time favourites McAloo Tikki, McVeggie, McChicken, McSpicy Paneer, McSpicy Chicken, Filet-O-Fish and Dosa Masala burgers, which include two patties squeezed together in one tight hug, and are named as ‘Big Hug’ burgers. Starting at Rs 59 (plus applicable taxes), the double patty variants are surely every burger lover’s delight.
“Big Hug is a fun and light-hearted campaign in line with McDonald’s brand promise. With this campaign, we are offering our customers new ways to enjoy the burgers they love and engaging with them in a unique way, by offering double patty variants in their McDonald’s favourite menu items. We hope our customers feel the tight hugs with the Big Hug Burger, just like our patties squeezing each other tightly,” says Robert Hunghanfoo, Head, CPRL (Connaught Plaza Restaurants Pvt. Ltd. operates McDonald’s restaurants in North and East India).
“All of us are living through a time, where we don’t know when we will get to freely give someone a hug as a gesture of love, appreciation or greeting. While the whole world is going through this reality, McDonald’s has introduced burgers that are born out of this very unfulfilled desire of hugging for its teeming fans, a proposition that is as heartfelt as it is delicious,” said Ashutosh Sawhney, Managing Partner, DDB Mudra Group, North.
Conceptualised by DDB Mudra, the digital films centre around two of the most prominent habits such as video calling your loved ones and twinning with them and sharing OTT subscription with your friend.
