Why did McDonalds Twitter for #McDStories not work as planned
Solution
McDonald had started the Twitter campaign McDstories with the purpose of spreading good
news about the company. McDonalds started the exercise to share its passion and love with
which it produces beef for its burgers.
But people used this social media to post their bad experiences at McDonalds. People used the
social media to post the bad quality of food they had in McDonalds, or the experience of finding
a fingernail in burger.
The hastag was not neutral and so was suspectible to exploitation. The flow of the negative
comments worked like an avalanche, gathering pace and mass with each negative comment. In
this case the outpouring of negative comments for McDonalds simply inundated the twitter
hashtag, turning it into a bashtag.
Also, McDonalds did'nt explain what the hashtag meant.
All these events led to the failure of #McDStories.
