“It is a huge honour for me to be joining the ranks of all the other fantastic winners of this award. Although I don’t consider it as a distinction for me alone – because not only do I have the support of our strong marketing team at McDonald’s but can also count on the fantastic working relationship with colleagues, franchisees and agency partners. And so in my eyes, this is an award for us all."
