But imagine the impact that a whole series of advertisements, all sharing the same message or supporting the same cause could have on the consumers.
For instance, the LikeAGirl campaign by Always promoted their product, while also creating awareness among the audience about the insecurities girls go through during their adolescence and showing that they cared about their target consumers. This personal connect made the advertising campaign a hit. An advertising campaign is essentially just a series of similar advertisements by a company or a business that share the same core message, while also convincing consumers to purchase their products.
Each advertisement may have a different theme, but eventually, they all support the same cause. The advertising campaign spoke about the judgemental Indian society, body-shaming, diversity among women, gender and societal norms and most importantly, how these women rose above it all. It is always better to have a well-planned strategy to promote your brand , product or services, right?
Advertising campaigns do that for you. It may seem easy but if you add to the fact that the message should also be brief as to not bore your audience the pressure to get it right can really build up.
We recommend leaving the task to experienced experts within the sector or copywriters. The design is just as important as the message. Utilize responsive design and UX friendly websites to win over your audience. Delight them first by sight, and then through everything else you have to tell them. In an advertising campaign , the metrics should make up an integral part of the process.
The only way to understand the campaign is to track and measure the metrics and data. Furthermore, we should note the difference between general metrics and KPIs. One of the maxims of the online marketing world is to know your target well and focus on it as much as possible. Marketers spend their lives trying to segment and segment until they find the perfect niche. Maybe that's why we are so surprised and impressed by this video from Heineken in which a man tries to wink at Modern, old-fashioned, hipsters, athletes, and even an alien meet in this visually attractive video in which the brand promotes the launch of its new beer, alcohol-free and for all audiences.
This witty ad was able to completely rebrand the classic deodorant brand for a younger audience and inspired a full blown advertising strategy with many similar style ads. This campaign proves that humor, entertainment, and continuity are great keys for successful advertising campaigns, even 10 years later.
Inspiring and motivating messages always work. Everyone wants to share a video that made them smile and made them want to take on the world and that's certainly the case with the "Phenomenal Women" spot. This video shows women of all types, colors, ages and sizes, which in itself is already a welcome novelty compared to the uniform, perfect bodies in conventional advertising.
A catchy song and a good setup is all it takes to make us want to put on our shoes and go for a run. Finally, one of the most successful campaigns in recent times is one by Netflix for its series Narcos, as it managed to attract more than a million followers on its social networks.
The key? Constantly uploading images and phrases related to the show and introducing us to the characters with short videos. And when it comes to The Most Interesting Man in the World, he's one of the coolest commercial guys there is. And at the end of every commercial, he says: "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis. Stay thirsty my friends. The hilarious hyperbole employed in this campaign makes it memorable the next time viewers head out to buy some beer.
And even though Dos Equis recently replaced The Most Interesting Man with a new actor, he is forever immortalized in meme culture and in liquor stores due to this short, sweet, and memorable tagline — and the cool dude vibe it makes viewers harken back to. Note, though, that the ad didn't target people who weren't drinking milk; it instead focused on the consumers who already were. It's not always about getting a brand new audience to use your products or services — sometimes, it's about getting your current audience to appreciate and use your product more often.
Turn your audience into advocates, and use marketing and ad content to tell them why they should continue to enjoy the product or service you are already providing for them.
In Melbourne, Australia, Metro Trains wanted to get across a simple message: No horsing around near train tracks. Disorderly conduct could lead to injuries, or even death, but instead of typical warning signs or announcements inside train stations, Metro Trains came up with Dumb Ways to Die, a song that has garnered million YouTube views since it debuted in The song is about dumb ways to die — for example, by poking a grizzly bear with a stick, or taking your helmet off in outer space — and it features a catchy little chorus you won't be able to stop humming to yourself because singing it is a little morbid : "Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die.
At the end of the video, after you've watched adorable cartoon characters dying in the dumbest of ways, you get to the moral of the story: There are many dumb ways to die, but the dumbest possible way would be if you died while standing on the edge of a train platform, drove through a railroad sign, or tried to cross over a train track. The video ad went viral on YouTube, the song was made available on iTunes, and it even played over the radio with an accompanying ad.
This beloved, now-famous campaign communicates a simple idea in a creative and memorable way — and you don't feel like you're being nagged, the way some public service announcements do. If your subject matter is grim or boring, consider using creativity to get your message across. While there have been many great Apple campaigns, this one takes the cake. The video above is just one of a series of iterations of this campaign, and the Mac vs.
PC debate ended up being one of the most successful campaigns ever for Apple. These commercials tell Mac's audience everything they need to know about the product without being overt -- and in a clever way. Just because your product does some pretty amazing things doesn't mean you need to hit your audience over the head with it. Instead, explain your product's benefits in a relatable way so consumers are able to see themselves using it.
Source: Current The first time Clairol asked this question in , the answer was 1 to 15 -- as in, only 1 in 15 people were using artificial hair color. The ad was apparently so successful that some states stopped requiring women to denote hair color on their driver's license. When your ad campaign starts changing things at the DMV, you know you've hit a nerve. Clairol did the opposite of what most marketers would do: They didn't want every woman on the street running around saying they were using their product.
They wanted women to understand that their product was so good that people wouldn't be able to tell if they were using it or not. Sometimes, simply conveying how and why your product works is enough for consumers. Showing becomes more effective than telling. Source: BBC News. But the campaign, which proposed pun very much intended the idea that no marriage would be complete without a diamond ring, wasn't just riding on the coattails of an existing industry. De Beers actually built the industry ; it presented the idea that a diamond ring was a necessary luxury.
According to the New York Times , N. Ayer's game plan was to "create a situation where almost every person pledging marriage feels compelled to acquire a diamond engagement ring. Source: Coloribus. It became a viral success practically overnight:. That video has over 51 million views as of this writing. Several months later, in June , Old Spice followed up with a second commercial featuring the same actor, Isaiah Mustafa. In about two days, the company had churned out personalized, scripted, and quite funny video responses featuring Mustafa responding to fans online.
According to Inc , these videos saw almost 11 million views, and Old Spice gained about 29, Facebook fans and 58, new Twitter followers. I think that's where we broke through. If you find your campaign's gained momentum with your fans and followers, do everything you can to keep them engaged while keeping your messaging true to your brand's voice and image. Source: AdSoft Direct. Is it enough to say this campaign was successful because it featured a giant hamburger bun and a cute set of old ladies?
I didn't think so. Wendy's took a more gutsy approach in this advertising campaign: It targeted its competitors. The simple phrase "Where's the beef? While you can't predict when a catchphrase will catch on and when it won't, Wendy's wisely didn't over-promote their hit phrase. The campaign only ran for a year, and allowed it to gently run its course. Be careful with your campaigns' success and failures. Just because you find something that works doesn't mean you should keep doing it over and over to the point it's played out.
Allow your company to change and grow, and you may find that you can have even greater success in the future by trying something new. Seriously — you wouldn't expect a household and cleaning products company commercial to pull at the heartstrings like that, would you?
