An elephant dances again
Article Abstract:
After several years of problems, including obesity-criticism, dipping sales and loss of two CEOs, global giant McDonald's has finally turned the corner. Last month the magazine Advertising Age named it the U.S. marketer of the year for 2004, and as of November, the sales for the year rose by 7.9%. The company's advertising strategies, refocus on its target group, media approach, and products like the new toasted sub line have helped the turnaround.
