Deep Dive

When McDonald's teamed up with the Toronto Raptors to introduce the Raptors McFlurry with Red Smarties, they were seeking a creative way to excite their audience and promote this delicious collaboration. Paper Triangles stepped in to execute ab AR experience on Snapchat where users could engage with both the McFlurry and Toronto Raptors' spirit. Our solution was multi-faceted: Designing a unique lens that blended the selfie and world aspects of AR seamlessly. For the selfie component, Snapchatters found themselves donning a McDonald's branded Raptors jersey while the world side transformed the user into a basketball superstar, challenging them to sink three-pointers. But here's the twist – the basket was none other than the Raptors McFlurry itself! We turned the simple act of scoring into an immersive and memorable experience. To make the AR experience even more exciting, we brought in Pascal Siakam from the Toronto Raptors as an avatar. He became the users' virtual coach, guiding them through the game and adding an authentic touch to the campaign.

Creating an avatar of Pascal Siakam was no small feat. We meticulously matched his style to the iconic Bitmoji while ensuring it perfectly resonated with McDonald's branding.
