Brief Explanation

McDonalds wanted to increase its guest-counts from 1to4 pm by making discount offer on their hero combos at these times.We decided to create an occasion for it that didn't exist before in the Egyptian culture,which is the lunch break.We established the importance of the lunch break by reminding the consumers of their good old school days and the excitement they felt every time they heard the school bell ring,announcing the break.Bringing back the nostalgia of the school break periods,the ad drew hilarious comparisons between corporate and school cultures(boring classes vs.long working hours,bossy teachers vs.irritating bosses,etc.)in order to remind Egyptians why they really need a lunch break.
