McDonald’s Corporation is the world’s largest chain of fast food restaurants, serving nearly 47 million customers daily. The business began in 1940 with the first restaurant opened by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald in California. Today McDonald’s operates over 31,000 restaurants worldwide, employing more than 1.5 million people.

Despite all the controversies and criticism, McDonald’s continues to grow fast and strong. We can’t imagine a world without McDonald’s, we can’t imagine not seeing the big yellow M. McDonald’s powerful advertising campaign contributes a lot to its worldwide awareness. The following are some brillant McDonald’s ads we collected. Let’s see what makes them special and what we can learn from.
