About the Work

On August 26th, 2015, Burger King did the unthinkable – they extended an olive branch to longstanding corporate rival McDonald’s by calling for a ‘burger wars ceasefire’. BK proposed that the two restaurants join forces to create a symbolic hybrid burger – the McWhopper – to raise awareness of UN Peace Day. The campaign was spearheaded by an open letter and extensive online activity, and supported by a global outdoor campaign that used sites in close proximity to McDonald’s restaurants.
