McDonald’s and Leo Burnett London have launched an amusing campaign called ‘Schnuggs’ celebrating the release of new Spicy Chicken McNuggets, their hottest new product launch and the latest addition to its menu, available for seven weeks.

The campaign comprises a mixture of food focused content and short films showing models wearing custom made Spicy Chicken McNuggets apparel in aid of the hottest collaboration of the year – Spicy X Chicken McNuggets = Schnuggs. Drawing upon the love of Chicken McNuggets, the campaign is targeted at 16-24year olds and aims to tap into the cult-like brands this age group is infatuated by.

With brands like Supreme having consumers queuing outside stores from the early hours of the morning for the latest product drop, we wanted to draw upon this culture to create a spoof clothing brand modelling the Spicy Chicken McNuggets.

The combination of this affinity driving content is supported by a burn visual identity that hit press and social a week before the campaign to tease spice lovers of the latest product release from McDonald’s. The intrigue was over on Wednesday 7th August with mysterious burn holes in the Metro announced the launch of Spicy Chicken McNuggets at McDonald’s.
