# Artistic Fast Food Campaigns McDonald's France Releases a Unique 'Open Late' Campaign By Mishal Omar | Published 2017-09-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-late References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/395688/McDonald-s-Spotlights-Its-Late-Opening-Hours-In-Pretty-Bokeh-Photography-Prints/) & [blog.creamglobal](http://blog.creamglobal.com/right_brain_left_brain/2017/09/print-ad-of-the-week-mcdonalds-open-late-france.html) [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-night-posters) France's 'Open Late' campaign was created to announce that the franchise will now be open later in the night in the country, and was shot by the photographer Helmut Stelzenberger in a collaboration with the creative agency TBWA. The campaign takes a more artistic and minimalist route than the branding that most consumers are used to associating McDonald's with. It features three images, all of which are made up of hazy lights in the nighttime that take the shape of a burger, fries, and a sundae. The multiple colors and haziness of the lights, coupled with their black backgrounds, functions as a poignant way to represent the Open Late campaign. This campaign took 10 days to shoot, and involved the use of 1,100 LED lights. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artistic Advertising:** Opportunity for fast food brands to explore more artistic and minimalist advertising campaigns. - **Extended Opening Hours:** Opportunity for restaurants to extend their operating hours to cater to late-night customers. - **Collaborative Campaigns:** Opportunity for brands to collaborate with photographers and creative agencies to create unique and eye-catching marketing campaigns. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Opportunity for fast food chains to differentiate themselves through artistic and creative marketing strategies. - **Restaurant:** Opportunity for restaurants to tap into the potential market of late-night customers. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Opportunity for advertising and marketing agencies to collaborate with brands and create visually stunning campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Night QSR Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-night-posters.md) - [Architecture-Inspired QSR Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-mcdonalds-campaign.md) - [Playful QSR Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-campaign-1.md) - [Fast Food-Inspired Beachy Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leo-burnett-italia.md) - [AI-Fuelled QSR Animated Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-japan-1.md) - [Nordic QSR Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-8.md) - [Sustainable QSR Litter Adverts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-malta.md) - [Street Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/street-fighter-menu.md) - [Pristine Fast Food Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-flavour-no-mess.md)
