Big Mac Chant Challenge

(marketingmagazine.com.my) – Leo Burnett Malaysia created a new experience for McDonald’s Big Mac and threw the internet into a singing frenzy from 13-31 October 2016 with the return of McDonald’s Malaysia Big Mac Chant Challenge. The Challenge was given local flavor with the participation from Malaysian singers Elizabeth Tan, Siti Nordiana, Fuying Sam, and KeQing.

“In order to engage with the younger audience, we created the Big Mac Chant Challenge whereby ‘chanters’ would sing the famous Big Mac Chant in their most creative manner. This time, through the collaboration with Smule, users are able to sing a duet together with their favourite personalities that has partnered with us for the contest,” said Andrew Low, Executive Creative Director of Leo Burnett Malaysia.

Leveraging on an integrated digital touchpoint platform to engage with the target audience, Leo Burnett Malaysia’s idea synchronized in harmony with McDonald’s Malaysia’s stance on relying in the power of digital platforms.

“McDonald’s Malaysia strongly believes in the power of digital mobile to reach our target audiences effectively. It provides the perfect avenue for customers to interact with the brand, which in return drives business results,” said Eugene Lee, Senior Manager of McDonald’s Malaysia.

Taking the cue from the success debut of the Big Mac Dubsmash in 2015, the contest ran for its second year through an exclusive collaboration with Smule, the leading karaoke application in Malaysia which has over two million monthly active users within the country.

Barry Victor, Creative Group Head of Leo Burnett Malaysia added that the digital campaign was made accessible via other popular social touchpoints such as Facebook Carousel and Canvas, and Instagram in order to engage on a wider range of audience and generate submissions.
Out of the 1,263 verified videos of Big Mac chanters submissions, 16 were shortlisted in the hopes of being the lucky grand prize winner to walk away with the coveted RM10,000 cash prize among others.

Special prizes will also be given according to winners from six categories; Best Solo, Best Group, Best Costume, The Funniest, Judges’ Favourite and Best Smule Duet, during the meet-and-greet event with the four artistes on 12th November 2016 in Kuala Lumpur.

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
