“We are very excited about this collaboration because we are able to deliver experiences that authentically connect and align with the DNA of both brands, combining flavour and energy in special actions that will certainly delight fans of both.”
Marketing Director of Red Bull Brazil Gabriel D’Angelo Braz added the pairing was a “perfect combo.”
“This partnership is super special for us,” he said.
“It’s two brands everyone loves coming together to offer products the public loves — now in the same place.
“It’s the perfect combo for those seeking energy, whether after lunch to get back into work mode or at night to go out with friends on the weekend.
“Our mission is to give people wings, and the Sao Paulo Grand Prix is proof of that, the public will be able to experience it in a whole new way, with exclusive experiences at major McDonald’s stores.”
McDonald’s and Red Bull added this was just the first stage of the partnership, promising additional activations and fan experiences in the future.
