McD: what’s the fruit buzz?

McDonald’s is running a six weeks online campaign to promote its new Fruit & Walnut Salad and target African-American women. ClickZ reports the creativity is by ImagineThat which together with McD’s multicultural marketing agency Burrell, developed a series of engaging rich media that include a quick and easy gaming mechanism.

In particular, McD is using the United Virtualities’ Ooqa-Ooqa branded-browser takeover which replaces the page standard navigation with a McDonald’s themed navigation. This format is exclusively running on Bet.com however, once again the only supported browser is Internet Explorer so I cannot see how this technology works
