# 2 Creative McDonald's Ads WiFi + 24/7 Drive Thru By Ayman | Published 2008-03-15 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-ads-wifi-drive-thru References: [arabaquarius.blogspot](http://arabaquarius.blogspot.com/2008/03/cool-mcdonalds-minimalist-ads.html) [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-campaign-1) marketing team has been releasing very creative ads lately. I particularly like the minmalist and subtle aspects of their new ads. Take the **24/7 Drive Thru** ad created by DDB Auckland ad agency, New Zealand for example. You have a car on the road at night with the front lights creatively reflecting the famous [McDonalds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-1) yellow archs on the ground. A subtle and witty refrence to the fact that you can use the drive-thru 24/7. Another new ad to promote free **WiFi** at McDonald's by DDB Denmark advertising agency creatively uses McDonald's food packaging box as an open notebook with the customer's hands almost typing on it. A cool reminder that "Free WiFi now served at all resturants" so you can eat and surf the net for free at McDonalds. Keep it up McD!
