Hard to say... super easy to eat. The Ton3s got to try the McDonald's Crispy Chicken Biscuit with Hot Honey—and they're lovin' it!

Crispy Chicken Biscuit w/ Hot Honey

Campaign Highlights

  • Industry: QSR
  • Product: Crispy Chicken Biscuit with Hot Honey
  • Geographics: Select DMAs
  • Demographics: African American; aged 18-34
  • Objectives: Awareness (primary), Engagement (secondary)

That's a mouthful! But it's one that R&B/soul trio The Ton3s are ready for. The guys met in the studio to try out the McDonald's Crispy Chicken Biscuit with Hot Honey, and it was so good, they immediately wrote a song about it.

In addition to driving awareness of the McDonald's Crispy Chicken Biscuit (now available with Hot Honey for a limited time), this campaign also encouraged adoption of the McDonald's App for ordering. To tie the objectives together, the campaign offers a limited time promotion where app users can try the sandwich for only $2.

The Ton3s + McD's = a lot to celebrate

Campaign content is being promoted during Black History Month, giving The Ton3s and McDonald's a great reason to recognize and celebrate the culture. The guys share what it means to them to celebrate the hard work and contributions of Black musicians who came before them and paved the way for them to be able to do what they love every day.

Content includes engaging videos promoted directly from The Ton3s social accounts across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, along with streaming audio paired with clickable banner ads. In addition to the custom Crispy Chicken Biscuit jingle written just for this campaign, videos also feature The Ton3s' song "Never Gonna Let You Go."

One for the crew from one of the crew!

McDonald's crew members are the heartbeat of McDonald’s restaurants and communities. They become America's entrepreneurs, community providers, innovators, and more... including iconic R&B musicians, like J'Vito of The Ton3s!

As a surprise, McDonald's presented J'Vito with his very own 1 in 8 Alumni Jacket that celebrates the employees who make McDonald's a vital part of the community.

McDonald's also invited the Ton3s to help celebrate current crew members with an exclusive sweepstakes, giving employees at participating store locations the chance to win an awesome prize pack, including a $500 Ticketmaster gift card, signed merch, and a personalized video from The Ton3s.
