Description of the Project:
Our brief on this project was to create a viral video - an invitation to McDonalds from Burger King that would use social media to create a wave of support for the idea. This project spread rapidly on the day it was launched, featuring on CNN, USA Today, The New York Times, Time Magazine, to name just a few - with #McWhopper trending at the top of the list on twitter. This converted into over 1 million plays on youtube in the first day and over 2 billion web impressions.
