  any food-related question and McDonald’s will
  dig up an answer and post it on its website.

 Facebook and Website, answers on Website
+ Metrics = Numbers
 What numbers can or should McD collect
 that will help them determine the success of
 this campaign?
Activity I
+ Objective
  What could be the objective of this
  campaign?

Editor's Notes

  • #10 Hint: Define Success first. Try to identify numbers - those when translated in to ratios, percentages or rates will indicate progress towards a goal or create marketing value (in this case, drive awareness, improve sentiment, show +ve impact on sales)
