Ronald McDonald Makeover Look

April 24, 2014 by  

Ronald McDonald Makeover Look, Ronald McDonald has new, updated clothing and will now take an active role on social media for the first time, the company says. Ronald McDonald has a new look, and he’s ready for a selfie.

McDonald’s said Wednesday its famous spokesclown will take an active role on social media for the first time, using the hashtag #ronaldmcdonald. The move marks a turnaround from recent years, when the red-haired mascot faded to the background as McDonald’s came under criticism for using him to market to children.

But the world’s biggest hamburger chain seems ready to give its clown a higher-profile role as it works to boost weak sales.

The company says Ronald McDonald won’t have his own Twitter handle, but that it will post photos and videos of him on its existing social media accounts. The clown, known for his painted-on smile and baggy yellow jumper, will also appear in TV ads later this year wearing new clothes, including cargo pants and a vest. Other photos of him posted by McDonald’s on Wednesday showed him wearing a red sports coat over the cropped pants.

“His iconic big red shoes will remain the same,” McDonald’s said in a statement.

“Selfies … here I come! It’s a big world and now, wherever I go and whatever I do … I’m ready to show how fun can make great things happen,” McDonald’s quoted the fictional clown as saying.

Ronald’s promotion comes as McDonald’s looks to reset its business. The company, based in Oak Brook, Ill., is hoping to fix slowness and inaccuracies in orders and is emphasizing its most popular items in marketing, including the Big Mac and french fries.

Ronald McDonald, first played by longtime TV weatherman Willard Scott, made his debut in 1963 and has played a major role in making McDonald’s the dominant player among kids in the fast-food industry. The company even named him its “chief happiness officer” in 2003.
