Sabor a Canela

McCafé

Drove awareness and trial of the McCafé seasonal offerings

The Challenge

Drive awareness and trial of the McCafé seasonal offerings among Hispanic consumers and position McDonald’s as a brand that delivers feel-good holiday moments.

The Idea

To tap into the holiday season and Latinos’ passion for music, we launched the McCafé seasonal offering by developing a campaign titled “Sabor a Canela” (Cinnamon-Flavored) in partnership with singer and songwriter Jencarlos Canela. Jencarlos composed a jingle that highlighted his tie to the offerings’ hero ingredient, cinnamon, and the product’s features and flavors to drive awareness and trial. Canela performed the jingle and encouraged trial of the product at desk-side appointments and coffee drops at top Hispanic national and local lifestyle outlets in New York and Miami.
