AD 1: At first glance, this new McDonalds Swedish ad looks very offensive and racist. It says in bold typical McD yellow font “We don’t hire Turks, Greeks, Poles, Indians, Ethiopians, Vietnamese, Chinese or Peruvians.” But if you look at the fine print at the footer of the ad, it says “Nor Swedes, South Koreans, or Norwegians. We hire individuals. We don’t care what your surename is. Because ambition and determination have nothing to do with your nationality. McDonald’s is one of the most integrated companies in Sweden, with as many as ninety-five nationalities working for us. Join us at mcdonalds.se”

AD 2: The double page spread features nothing on either white page except for a few coffee stains and a tiny logo in the bottom right corner of the right page that reads, “Extra Large Coffe 16 Sek” and the McDonald’s logo.

Pretty impactful and yet so simple, really.
