Must Be McCafe
Ask: Make the McCafé Holiday cup stand out from the rest of the competition.

Spirit

Magic

Wonder
Strategy
Insight
During the holidays there is more pressure to make things magical for those around you. It takes a lot of unseen and underappreciated effort to orchestrate everything that needs to be done.
Idea
McCafe is the magic behind the magic of the Holidays.
While people are determined to create a magical holiday experience for their loved ones, McCafe will be the magic that keeps them going through the exhaustion of getting everything done for their loved ones.
