In the reality case, we found out that McDonald has used the social media to connect with their customers. McDonald’s is one of the most recognizable brands in the world. McDonald’s had been active on the social media because they discovered that the voice of the customer will not be silenced, particular in the time of sharing the information through social media. McDonald’s have made an action to solve the allegations made against them in “Our Food. Your Question,” a series of videos featured on their YouTube Channel. This video is to answer their fan question by conducting walk-throughs from the factory to the store and showed them how their food is made.
