50 years, 50 benches, endless joy 💫 McDonald's Hong Kong and DDB Group Hong Kong are marking a half-century of iconic moments with a citywide celebration led by the legendary Ronald McDonald bench! The global symbol of nostalgia is popping up in 50 locations across the city in a fun-filled digital treasure hunt that unites generations. Participants can scan QR codes on each bench to unlock over 500,000 prizes. The ultimate reward? The first 50 people to collect all 50 stamps will enjoy a Big Mac meal every day for a year! 🍔 Adding to the magic, McDonald's’s characters like Grimace and Birdie make a grand comeback, taking over billboards and even wrapping a Star Ferry. Andreas Krasser, CEO of DDB Group Hong Kong, sums it up perfectly: “For many Hong Kongers, the Ronald McDonald bench is like a time machine, letting them walk down memory lane.” More about the campaign here: https://lnkd.in/eQ4yrACC #DDB #McDonalds #RonaldMcDonald #McDonaldsHK50 #imlovinit
