Collab with McDonald

Together with McDonald’s, the Ronald McDonald House Foundation, and SOS Children’s Villages, we created a limited-edition eyewear collection inspired by McDonald’s. The glasses were sold in McDonald’s stores across Bogotá, Colombia, and 40% of the sales were donated to support children and families facing long-term illnesses.(My role focused on developing an advertising campaign that connected emotionally with audiences, resulting in high engagement and increased product sales).

THE SAJU EXPERIENCE

The Sajú Experience combines digital and physical interfaces to let customers recycle plastic and manufacture their own glasses. With over +1,000 successful hands-on making experiences, we decided to take the project further by turning it into a traveling experience that reached more than 20 cities across two countries.(My role in this project involved shaping the concept of a journey across Colombia as a way to interact with people and connect with different regions of the country. I also designed the website for scheduling the Sajú Experience and created the graphic pieces that supported and enhanced the experience).

We used visual codes from the McDonald’s universe combined with the Saju universe to invite the audience to guess our next collaboration. This strategy generated strong attention and high engagement across our platforms.

We played with the McDonald’s universe to create both the copy and the visuals, which helped us strongly connect with the community.

The project that donated 40% of its profits and achieved strong participation and attention from both brands’ audiences.

The Saju Experience was a highly innovative project that required both digital and physical interfaces to support the journey and engage people with a do-it-yourself mindset. The experience was so successful that it evolved into “El Road Trip del Mono”, in collaboration with Volkswagen, bringing the project to different regions across Colombia. It became a cultural phenomenon and even reached Costa Rica. We created brand experiences that truly involved the community and aligned naturally with Saju’s cultural values.
