3. McDonald’s has kicked-off FIFA
World Cup with a first-ever global
French-fry packaging redesign and
new, augmented reality trick-shot
app.

4. While most Americans consider soccer to be
barely a sport, the rest of the world eats it up
like a cheap cheeseburger. And in anticipation
of this years’ event, McDonalds’s had 24 artists
from around the world sell their soul, or as
McDonald’s put it: “create exceptional
interpretations of the glory of the beautiful
game” on boxes of fries. The designs look like a
surreal, LSD induced soccer fever dream, with
a colorful, swirly parrot adorning one of the
boxes.

5. The campaign is telling users to download
McDonald’s Gol! app, which combines
French fries with the iOS and Android
camera to create an augmented reality
soccer game.

6. But the new boxes aren’t limited to an
assault on your eyes. If you snap a
photo using something called the GOL!
app, a kind of mini soccer game can be
played on your phone. Keep in mind
that the app is free, but the fries are
gonna cost you, and not just
monetarily.

7. As a companion to this branding
extravaganza, a two-minute video was
produced showing all kinds of soccer
trick shot magic being performed
ostensibly in Brazil. A little boy hits and
rings the town’s bell with the ball, while
an old man surprises a gaggle of
onlookers with his ball balancing skills.

8. McDonald’s is obviously old hat with
sponsoring World Cup events. They
were a lead sponsor in 2010, so this
blitz of promotion comes as no
surprise.

9. We don’t even know for sure anymore
where the 2022 World Cup will be, but
I’m willing to guess that wherever it
lands Ronald will have already set up
shop.
