This entry addresses the critical issue of pervasive low self-confidence among Japanese youth—a significant cultural challenge. By integrating McDonald's iconic fry alarm with the music of Gen Z favorites, the campaign crafts a compelling film that resonates deeply with its audience. The music video serves as a motivational anthem, inspiring confidence and urging young people to believe in their potential. This powerful use of film to reflect and tackle a widespread social issue, making it a standout submission for its ability to influence cultural and social behavior. The project achieved remarkable success across various metrics, enhancing brand engagement and reach significantly. It garnered 11 million views and over 100 million social media impressions, with PR exposure valued at 150 million. Following its launch, McFries sales among Gen-Z increase by 121% in one week.
