Always-on
community management at scale

How do you bring McDonald's iconic "Good Times" to every digital customer interaction? RIFF built an always-on community management operation that, 365 days a year, strikes the perfect balance between engaging conversations, personal service and proactive reputation management.

The challenge

McDonald's is known not only for its iconic Big Mac and Golden Arches, but also for its fast service and the essence of Good Times. That brand experience shouldn't be limited to the restaurant, it should also be reflected in every online interaction.

As a market leader, the brand is constantly in the spotlight. National campaigns, product launches and social issues generate a continuous flow of customer questions, comments and conversations. McDonald's Netherlands needed a partner capable of managing these volumes throughout the year, one that could effortlessly scale during major campaigns while preserving the brand's distinctive, informal and witty tone of voice.

The approach

RIFF built a premium, scalable community management operation powered by leading technology and genuine human connection.
