01 — THE BRIEF

Visible from far off,
in a festival crowd

McDonald's wanted a presence to match the festival: visible from far away, in the brand's identity, impossible to miss. At UNTOLD tens of thousands of people move at once, and at eye level you cannot see three metres ahead. Anything standing on the ground disappears in the first minute.

McDonald's × Untold
What they asked for
Their brand visible from a distance, at a festival with tens of thousands of people.
What we made
Two Peacock Tails on stilts, branded head to toe, built in our own workshop.
What they got
Light above the crowd, every festival day. And the best reference of all: they called us back in 2026.
02 — THE SOLUTION

Peacock Tails with LEDs
in the brand's colours

Two Peacock Tail characters on stilts, with LEDs programmed to the McDonald's palette, yellow wigs and MC emblems. Yellow gloves, green belts, branded head to toe. Tall and lit, they carried McDonald's above the heads of the crowd through the whole festival — silhouettes by day, LEDs by night. People came to them for photos, the cheapest distribution there is.

  • Mini Peacock LED Tails Stilt Walkers
  • LEDs programmed just for them

    No off-the-shelf colours — the sequences were written to the McDonald's palette, red and yellow, and run identically on both costumes.

  • MC emblems printed in 3D

    We designed and 3D printed the emblems and branding parts ourselves, so they sat exactly right on the costume and held through every festival day.

  • Above the heads of the crowd

    Stilts lift the characters above the audience. In a festival of tens of thousands, that is the only position from which a brand reads at distance.

  • Booked again, same concept

    McDonald's repeated the activation in 2026 with the same characters. A client coming back is the clearest results report there is.

03 — THE BUILD

Base from our inventory,
branding made in house

The base came from our own inventory: the stilt characters already existed. The branding parts we produced separately, in house, for McDonald's — programmed LEDs, yellow wigs, MC emblems, custom design and 3D printing. As direct producers we delivered the whole thing turnkey and stage-ready, with no middleman between brief and costume.

„McDonald's called us back with the same concept in 2026 the best sign the activation did its job."
