Grimace Float
... and last but not least, the one that broke the internet.
REACTIONS
The reactions were fun to watch. Some people were upset about the Grimace Float selling out. Some people loved the merch so much that they made their own versions. Here’s some of my favorites-
SOCIAL
We made about 150+ assets for this campaign, and of many were social. In order to recreate this legendary photo of Omar Apollo below...
... I got to hold his hand :) Please don’t ask me if I’ve washed my hand since 👀
We didn’t end up using this for social (see the actual tweet below) but I ain’t mad about it.
PRESS
And in the end, we got 1.999999 million people to download the app and join us at Camp McDonald’s ︎
