The Opportunity

You may have enjoyed some of our work as a fan of McDonald’s. The Grinch Meal that captured the magic of the holidays, the globally celebrated Menu Heist platform that turned menu discovery into a cultural moment, the launch of our breakthrough Red Bull Energizer platform, and maybe even… the next iconic campaign that has the whole country talking. You may also have thought: wouldn’t it be great to work on campaigns like these that will make you whisper to yourself, “Wow, I did that”? Campaigns that will have your friends and family sending you text messages even though you have not heard from them in a few weeks. “Did you work on that?” Well, this is your chance. Yes, right now. Because we’re looking for a new Marketing Director, Brand & Creative to lead our creative ambition and build iconic campaigns for years to come.

We’re looking for someone who is a McDonald’s fan, thinks like a McDonald’s fan, and acts like a McDonald’s fan. Someone gets the modern customer, not only what they expect from brands but, maybe more importantly, what they do not want from them. The perfect candidate isn’t just familiar with these nuances but is also ready to translate that knowledge into fresh thinking that elevates our creative strategy and pushes the brand towards groundbreaking, culturally inspired ideas.

In this role, you’ll be leading McDonald’s campaigns and creative for Canada, including creative strategies with our agencies to define the right messaging and advertising go-to-market plans. The campaigns span multiple brand stories, such as core food products, value & affordability, and iconic brand moment, balancing between timely and timeless by building McDonald’s fandom in the now and crafting evergreen always-on narratives for the future.

You will be a creative catalyst for tactics that inspire brand love and elevate McDonald’s role in culture. You will also collaborate with cross-functional partners across various teams – Category & Menu Strategy, Customer Engagement, Digital Experiences, Brand Communications, Business Insights, and Consumer Insights to align tactics to marketing and business goals. That means we are not only looking for a creative crafter but also a business savant who asks “why” before “what.” Lastly, you understand the power of a national approach but are also comfortable with seizing the full firepower of regional work, as you partner with Regional Marketing teams to connect with Canadians coast-to-coast.

Reporting to the CMO, as a the leader of our Brand & Creative team, you will be a critical member of the Marketing Leadership Team, bring an enterprise perspective to the power of creativity, strategic through leadership, and team management to ensure we deliver creative excellence and effectiveness holistically, not just within any individual campaign.
