Info.
McDonald’s and Guardian Labs needed a way to talk about brand trust without relying on the usual product-led advertising language. Wild helped shape the script, choose the myths and build a humorous paper-based visual world around the idea of peeling things back to reveal the truth.
The result turned a potentially defensive subject into something lighter, clearer and easier to engage with — a strong example of how visual metaphor can make reputation stories more watchable.
