McDonald's Belgium sought to create deeper engagement with their audience while exploring the potential of generative AI. They aimed to leverage the festive season's spirit to foster a memorable connection with their brand.

During Christmas, a time for family fun and activities, there was a cultural trend towards interactive, tech-driven entertainment. McDonald's saw an opportunity to enhance user experience with a fun, engaging feature that capitalized on this trend.

The McDonalds lip-sync tool

Understanding the cultural significance of Christmas and the trend towards digital entertainment, we recognized the need for an engaging, innovative feature that would resonate with users. Our expertise in AI and digital marketing positioned us to create a unique solution.

We developed the McDo LipSync Experience, integrating the advanced AI model SadTalker into the McDonald's Belgium app. Users can select a song, upload a photo, and watch as the AI animates the person in the photo to lip-sync to the chosen song. The user flow is simple:

  • Select a song from the available list.

  • Upload a photo of a person.

  • The AI processes the photo and audio to generate a personalized lip-syncing video.

SadTalker, developed by Xi'an Jiaotong University and Tencent AI Lab, uses 3D motion coefficients to create realistic animations, addressing traditional challenges like unnatural head movements and distorted facial expressions.

Turning my photo into a festive lip-sync video was hilarious!
