What was the name of McDonald’s 2003 global brand campaign centered on a positive life attitude?

The story behind the answer

“I’m lovin’ it” was the name of McDonald’s 2003 global brand campaign centered on a positive life attitude.

McDonald’s launched the campaign internationally in 2003, using the phrase in advertising, packaging, and other brand communications. The lowercase styling and apostrophe gave the line a conversational tone intended to sound like everyday speech rather than a formal corporate statement.

The campaign was supported by music and television advertising, including work associated with Justin Timberlake and the production team behind the campaign. The line became a durable part of McDonald’s identity and is one of the company’s best-known slogans.

It followed earlier slogans such as “You Deserve a Break Today,” which was used in a different period. Those earlier lines remain important in McDonald’s advertising history, but they are not the name of the 2003 global campaign.
