More Lovely Print Ads From McDonald's France Cleverly Say They're Open Late

TBWAParis has practically turned McDonald’s advertising into an art form in recent years, with lovely print work that’s a joy to look at.

The latest example is a series of four ads that cleverly use the Golden Arches—inserted into the signage of traditional late-night haunts—to tell consumers that McD’s is open late for the night owls.

The ads were shot by photographer Aurélien Chauvaud. 

The campaign follows this evocative work from February, which promoted McDonald’s home delivery by showing beautiful, impressionistic shots of a city as seen through a window on a rainy day. 

Over the years, TBWAParis has produced other excellent print and OOH work for McDonald’s—including ads with no branding at all; minimalist pictograms; a disappearing food campaign; and artsy ads featuring intricate light sculptures.

“It’s the agency’s biggest client, and we thought it would be healthy if it’s also the most creative one,” Benjamin Marchal and Faustin Claverie of TBWAParis told Muse’s Angela Natividad in May.
