McDonalds Analysis 
I will be looking at and analysing the radio advertisement for McDonalds. 
The commercial has a very simple message- they are making people aware of the fact that 
Mcdonalds offers a breakfast menu every single day of the week. 
McDonalds have chosen to use a factual style advertisement- this is a good method when trying to 
influence and persuade an audience. Instead of making us feel as if we’re being given a pitch as to 
why to go to one of their restaurants, they have cleverly incorporated there menu into the 
advertisement, meaning it is factual in a very subtle way. 
Multiple voices can be heard throughout the advertisement- I’ve estimated it at around 15 different 
people. Although it is a radio advertisement and we can’t physically see the actors, it’s obvious that 
they’re all of different age, gender and race from the tone of their voice. They’re tone of language is 
very conversational and informal- we feel as if we’re being spoken to in a friendly manor. The 
purpose of choosing different types of people and making the dialogue very chatty is to make the 
advertisement relatable to us as an audience. McDonalds is aimed at a very broad range of people 
and has something on the menu for everyone- this is something that seems to be a theme in all 
there commercials. Relatable advertisements need to fulfil a need or desire in our lives; the issue 
needs to be relatable to us as an audience and McDonalds should be providing us with a realistic 
solution or outcome. 
McDonalds have chosen to do this by using issues that affect most of us on a daily basis; everyone 
has hectic and busy lives in the 21st century and we all struggle to get out bed in the morning 
meaning we’re usually running late- this is the relatable issue. The solution- go to McDonalds for 
breakfast! Although most of us are aware of the fact you can eat in at McDonalds the advertisement 
has chosen to focus on the drive through. We’ve been made to believe that the people in the advert 
are just like us, they’re a representation of us as a society. 
A typical code and convention which is found in almost all advertisements is repetition- McDonalds 
mention there service name four times in a space of thirty seconds. Repetition allows them to build 
brand familiarity with their audience whilst also reminding them what is being advertised. 
McDonalds has been around for a very long time now with over 35,000 fast food restaurants across 
the world making it hard for anyone not to have seen one before- they’ve become a household 
name. Because of this most of us are already familiar with the brand name ‘McDonalds’ meaning 
that they’re free to ‘mess around’ with the name a little and make it fun without leaving audiences 
confused. They’ve incorporated relatability with repetition for a more powerful affect; just like 
they’ve shown us how all types of people use their services, they’re also making a point of showing 
how we’re all different as individuals- in the way we pronounce ‘McDonalds’. We hear three 
completely different voice actors pronouncing McDonalds in three different ways- ‘McDonalds’, 
‘McD’s and ‘Macadonaldos.’ This method only works because McDonalds is already so popular. 
Since McDonalds can be found almost anywhere and there are so many of them contact details have 
not been mentioned.
A cheery guitar tune can be heard faintly in the background of the advertisement from the beginning 
till 00.00.27 seconds. It’s the type of tune you would associate with a film that includes a 
stereotypical cliché family sat at the breakfast table in the morning. 
As mentioned before, they’ve made a point of mentioning a large proportion of the menu in the 
advertisement- they’re persuading customers into using their services by appealing to them. There’s 
going to be something mentioned in the advert that’s going to sound good to each person. 
Personally I believe the unique selling proposition to be the fact they offer a drive through breakfast. 
The majority of us in this day and age, usually only listen to the radio in the car, so what better way 
to advertise a drive through breakfast then on the radio- if the advert was to be shown on TV it 
would not have the same effect. What better place to air a commercial that is offering us a unique 
service then the place you’ll be carrying it out from. We want to feel as if we’re being provided with 
a one of a kind service we won’t find anywhere else- McDonalds are standing out from their 
competitors to audiences. 
When any company sets out to create an advertisement, raising brand awareness is always a crucial 
factor, however it’s not always the sole purpose or intention. The purpose of this advert is to provide 
us with information- they’re letting us know they offer a drive through breakfast every single day of 
the week before 10:30am. Whilst I don’t believe it’s designed to promote seasonal awareness since 
there’s no mention of seasonal products, they do follow a winter theme. This is due to the fact that 
it’s the one time of year you’re most likely to use a drive through since it’s too cold to get out the 
car- they’ve aired it a crucial time of the years. 
In terms of brand identification, McDonalds tend to differentiate between two different ones. In 
2003 McDonalds came up with their first ever slogan- ‘I’m Loving It’- since then this has been there 
branding campaign across the whole world, however in recent years it’s often replaced with a short 
whistling tune that sounds exactly like the famous slogan- almost like a very short jingle. In some 
ways the identification works the same way as brand familiarity, we begin to associate the tune with 
McDonalds therefore building brand familiarity. 
Before an advertisement is aired it first goes through RACC (Radio Advertising Clearing Centre) to 
ensure it meets the legal and ethical guidelines. Since McDonalds is a food chain it needs to be 
compared to the regulations for food- personally I believe no issues arise in the commercial. 
However, a major concern for McDonalds that they need to be wary of in their advertisements is 
making any nutritional health claims since they are a fast food chain- it’ll be classed as false 
advertising.
