McDonald’s serves up local humour in TV sell

'ERP' shows a smartly-dressed business executive getting into a taxi, who suddenly develops a stutter while trying to avoid paying a surcharge on the fare to the shopping district of Orchard Road. 'Toothpaste' features a man doing everything he can to squeeze the very last drop out of a tube of toothpaste. "By dramatising simple, everyday scenarios that Singaporeans can easily identify with, the Everyday Value Savers campaign communicates McDonald's everyday value message in an entertaining and engaging way," said Shirley Foenander, VP, marketing and communications, McDonald's Restaurants. Both spots are running on channels 5, 8, U and Suria, with in-store point-of-sale ads. The campaign launched in mid-February and will run until late this year.
