#LittleBigMoments campaign billed as a love song to the people of Hong Kong.

In time for the Chinese New Year holidays, McDonald’s launched a new brand campaign aimed at deepening its connection with consumers in Hong Kong, featuring Cantopop legend Eason Chan singing Sir Elton John’s timeless classic, Your Song.

Created by DDB Group Hong Kong, the #LittleBigMoments campaign celebrates the
small but magical moments that make life special. Showcasing the full spectrum of emotions, from laughter to tears, from sadness to joy, the campaign focuses on moments of human connection.

“As a brand, we understand that life is not just one big thing, but the accumulation of a million little things, a million little moments. And in the end, it is these little moments that make life big,” said Randy Lai, CEO of McDonald’s Hong Kong. “It’s been a real privilege to work with Eason Chan, and with the blessing of Sir Elton John, to create a campaign that is a love song dedicated to our customers.”

“Nothing stirs the heart like a great piece of music, and this is something our industry often forgets,” said Andreas Krasser, Head of Strategy & Innovation at DDB Group Hong Kong.“In this campaign we made the music the hero, with Eason Chan lending a home grown twist to one of the world’s most beloved songs.

“Since launching on the 15th February, the brand spot has already garnered more than 2 million across multiple digital channels, successfully reaching around one third of Hong Kong people,” Krasser added.

The #LittleBigMoments campaign led with a 60 second brand spot, followed on
February 20th by an additional three 15 second stories — each focusing on some of the moments portrayed in the brand piece, but also on some of Hong Kong’s most  favourite McDonald’s products, the Grilled Chicken Burger and Chicken Nuggets, as well as the new Egg & Beef burger from Japan.
