Meanwhile, McDonald’s has announced changes to its marketing team, following the resignation of its global marketing senior vice-president Colin Mitchell.

It has promoted 15-year veteran Alistair Macrow as the new senior vice-president of global marketing.

Alistair will take over Colin’s responsibilities for Global Menu Strategy, Global Brand, Global Insights, Family and Global Marketing Enablement.

Given that the US business is critical for the restaurant chain, Alistair will work closely with Morgan Flatley, senior vice-president and US chief marketing and digital customer experience officer.

Announcing the changes via an open letter to employees, McDonald’s president and CEO Chris Kempczinski said: “As we emerge from this global pandemic, consumers’ trust in the McDonald’s brand and compelling marketing programmes in every country where we operate will be critical to re-establish the strong business momentum we enjoyed leading into this crisis.

“I am confident Alistair and Morgan can lead McDonald’s to even greater heights following this crisis.”
