Last Friday, McDonalds tweeted from its @McDonaldsCorp account: “ Black Friday * Need copy and link *” Interestingly, it seemingly failed to include any promo content in the tweet, leaving readers to wonder was this an epic fail in the marketing department or a deliberate action intended to drum up interest and buzz for the brand.
