In the designs, the campaign text "Meant to be classic" is found among the images. The original male figure in Edouard Manet's painting "At the Conservatory", which was preferred in the campaign, is holding a cigar in his hand.In the painting that was recreated for the advertising campaign, the male figure is holding a McDonald's beverage can. Created by DDB Athens, this creative work made with classical works attracts the attention of art lovers.
