In a tweet on Thursday, quoting Margot Torres, Adobo Magazine cited how McDonald's sales expanded by more than 470 percent when the company released its #ALDUBkoto TV commercial.
Torres, vice president for Marketing Communications at Golden Arches Development Corporation, told GMA News Online on Friday that the figure was "accurate but not clearly explained."
"It's a nationwide figure," she added.
Golden Arches is the franchise holder of McDonald's in the Philippines.
"Needless to say, the launch of our Chicken Fillet a la King product with the AlDub campaign has positively impacted our business, and sales for Chicken Fillet a la King have well exceeded its target," Torres said.
However, she declined to give the peso equivalent of McDonald's sales in relation to the #AlDubkoto TV ad. "I cannot share peso sales."
The product was launched in stores on September 7. The TV ad aired on September 11.
"Within 24 hours of posting, the TVC (TV commercial) was viewed more than 1.5 million times on our Facebook page," Torres noted.
Regarding future plans in relation to AlDub, she said, "We will continue to support AlDub as our newest brand ambassadors."
