The campaign follows the story of Jon, and the day he realises just how out of the loop he is with this new social phenomenon. Jon goes about his day permanently baffled as all around him people are wiggling their forefingers saying “Peely Peely?”. His work colleagues are doing it, a couple on his morning commute are doing it and even his friends are doing it to each other. What’s going on? As the film continues, it is clear everyone knows the Monopoly game is back at McDonald’s and that a simple peel of the sticker can win you prizes. The prizes on offer are brought to life with a 3D animation sequence developed by The Marketing Store who have created this visual identity used across all touchpoints of the campaign.

With a shared ambition to make the Monopoly game more famous than ever – Leo Burnett London developed a campaign to compel more and more people to get ‘peeling’ by reminding fans to play again this year, and giving people who don’t often play a reason to get involved. Tapping into the innate truth that people don’t want to miss out on what their friends are doing, the integrated campaign touches upon on the social isolation experienced by people who miss out on what friends, colleagues and family are all aware of when using the universal ‘Peely Peely’ code.

Prior to launch, McDonald’s capitalised on the online excitement around the game’s return by flooding their social channels with Peely Peely GIFs and social stickers with the GIFs already clocking over 1.3 million views. This was amplified by influencer activation from RED consultancy from 14th March as the nation gets Peely Peely.
