The new McDonald’s fully-integrated campaign, titled Buttermilk Crispy Tenders: Grandma Has a Life, was created by We Are Unlimited.

The new work consists of 30 pieces of original content. The spots feature wise grandmas talking about how there are no hard feelings for liking McDonald’s Buttermilk Crispy Tenders because the delicious, high-quality tenders are so good she doesn’t have to spend time making her own and can now enjoy her life.

The campaign demonstrates the point through lighthearted, humorous activities for grandma and shows the better things she has to do other than cooking, like relaxing at the pool, building puzzles of handsome models, fulfilling her dream of being a stand-up comedian, using VR goggles, online dating, and more.
