Here, McDonald's proved that through creative ingenuity, even the simplest creative concept can lead to strong reactions – and even better results.
Creative Tip...
When it comes to creating volume on TikTok, it pays to experiment with variety.

If you need a hand in making content for TikTok, co-create with production partners on TikTok Creative Exchange.
