The challenge

Generate awareness and engagement for McDonald's spicy chicken range with young audiences in the GCC.

The idea

Independent Arab musicians created freestyle tracks and short social videos around the 'language of spicy', then invited fans and fellow musicians to participate in the #SpeakSpicy challenge.

Results

  • DMS reported that McDonald's gained more than 24,000 Anghami followers in one month and that the campaign playlist entered the platform's five most-streamed playlists across the GCC.
