Project Overview
When there’s an opportunity to create hometown enthusiasm for a great cause, Bernstein-Rein is all in. Especially when that cause is supported by two great hometown brands—McDonald’s and the Kansas City Royals.
BR helped leverage a four-year partnership between the two to raise funds and awareness for the Ronald McDonald’s House Charities of Kansas City. As part of the campaign, every time a restaurant would sell a “Royals McDouble Value Meal,” a 25-cent donation was made to RMHC. The campaign also makes our local Ronald McDonald House the beneficiary of two 50/50 Raffles for the season.
But perhaps the most talked-about part of the effort was a McDonald’s-branded “Fry Organ” that Bernstein-Rein installed at Kauffman Stadium. This was a life-size interactive french-fry organ that played thematic baseball anthems when approached by fans. Along with co-branded foam fingers, the activation sparked a significant lift in mentions on the Kansas City area McDonald’s Twitter channel as well as an increase in “likes” and “shares” on Facebook.Client
