Reportedly, McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) is bringing its digital, data analytics, marketing, restaurant development, and operations segments into one unit, the fast-food giant is focusing on driving growth through its global app and new MyMcDonald’s Rewards program.
McDonald’s Rewards was launched on July 8 as fast-food chains have raced to launch loyalty programs to attract sales, reach young customers and give customers more ways to order. Manu Steijaert, the new global chief customer officer will lead the new unit effective August 1 and will report to Chris Kempczinski, Chief Executive Officer.
