Pickle juice, meet the Chicago Marathon.

We helped bring our client McDonald's’ Pickle Boost to life, launching a limited-edition pickle brine shot for runners who swear by the cramp remedy timed to the biggest race weekend in Chicago.

From a Lakefront Trail pop-up that brought run clubs together for Friday shakeout runs to Pickle Boost Pit Stops at McDonald’s restaurants along the course, our team put the product in runners’ and fans hands when it mattered most.

We work with McDonald’s year-round: reaching our fans in their communities by creating experiences that give them a reason to talk about the brand.
