Singapore first in Asia to get taste of McDonald's Lovin'

SINGAPORE: McDonald's launched its 'I'm lovin' it' campaign in Singapore this month after its debut in Germany, making the Lion City the second in the world - and the first in Asia - to run the brand's first single theme worldwide campaign produced outside the US.

More than 1,000 TV spots and over 500 radio spots are placed for this month-long campaign, according to B.S. Dharma, McDonald's Singapore's V-P of marketing and communications.

The campaign, featuring Justin Timberlake's vocal and cameo appearances and popular Taiwan singer Lee Hom's vocal for the Mandarin version, seeks to "re-energise and connect better with customers".

Five creative concepts in 12 language versions have been developed by Heye & Partner, a member of the DDB Worldwide Communications Group Inc and McDonald's Germany's advertising partner for the past 32 years.

Individual countries will have the "freedom within a framework" to execute the creative direction, including style, musical approach and theme-line in their own local markets, and incorporate the 'I'm lovin' it' theme into advertising, promotions, public relations, restaurant merchandising and overall brand communications initiatives.
