WHY WE THINK YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE

McDonald’s is a global icon. A truly amazing brand recognised the world over. However, with increased competition, tough economic times and competitors copying the winning Happy Meal formula, McDonald’s now has to deliver beyond the traditional toy in a box with more exciting, innovative and inspiring activation to maintain its Family share.

There is a plethora of activity starting with the Happy Meal toy to ensure we continually engage and interact with families. We hold a top table position with the other partner agencies.

Working on the Global Family account, you will have the opportunity to work with some of the most well-known licenses and brands, such as Universal, Warner Brothers, Hasbro and Pokémon.

We want you to bring a positive and enthusiastic approach to the role, be prepared to challenge and ask questions, stretch the strengths you already have, learn new skills and above all be ready to have fun!
