Original 1969 Big Mac Ad
Here is an interesting ad that I thought I thought I’d share with you all today. What you see above is the original print advertisement that introduced the McDonald’s Big Mac to the world way back in 1969.
This print ad was created by the D’Arcy Advertising agency in St. Louis. The agency quit the account that same year to focus on their much larger client at the time Standard Oil but not before introducing America to the Big Mac. McDonald’s later hired Paul Schrage, the D’Arcy media buyer working on their account.
Well, here is to keeping America fat since 1969.
I found this ad thanks to Ads of the World.
Best,
