ABOUT THIS ENTRY

People with disabilities often feel invisible in society. This is particularly true for athletes in Para sport, whose outstanding achievements go unnoticed. McDonald's Germany highlighting this invisibility for the first time as part of its partnership with the German Disabled Sports Association (DBS) and now joining forces with their franchisees to set an example of inclusion in everyday life.

How does this represent “Excellence in Engagement”?

This eye-opening idea counteracted the invisibility of Para sport for the first time. From here on, people will always look back on the successful DBS partnership, which strongly emphasizes McDonald's Germany's lived inclusion and equally recognizes the Para athletes and their achievements.

Objective

Despite outstanding performances, German para sport lacks visibility. We wanted to give para athletes the attention they deserve.

Strategy & Execution

To draw attention to the lack of visibility of para athletes, we simply make them disappear in our film and showed sports scenes without showing the actual athletes. In the middle of the film, we surprisingly resolve with "WE THE INVISIBLE" that Para sport deserves more visibility.
