Marketing Fails: McDonald’s Olympic Blunder & Sony's PSP Misstep
Update: 2024-09-03
Description
What do you get when a fast-food giant runs out of food during the Olympics and a tech titan tries to outsmart Nintendo with a grassroots campaign? Two colossal marketing failures that left customers frustrated and brands scrambling.
In this episode, we explore how McDonald's 1984 Olympics promotion backfired, costing the company tens of millions and leaving customers empty-handed when they ran out of fries, buns, and even Coca-Cola. We also dive into Sony’s desperate attempt to boost PSP sales with the “All I Want For Christmas is a PSP” campaign, which fell flat in the face of Nintendo’s dominance.
