As we move into the second half of the year (literally how what when who where has that gone????) we thought we’d do a recap of our top 5 marketing campaigns so far in 2024! 1. We can’t not mention the IT-GIRL of the year…Sabrina Carpenter👑 She is absolutely glowing and her marketing team appear to be always working overtime. Not only have her songs been some of the most viral TikTok sounds this year, but her marketing collaborations are just the perfect fit. The Sabrina Carpenter x Blank Street campaign promoted her song ‘espresso’ and was the perfect choice for Blank Streets audience. 2. Specsavers may have pulled of the marketing stunt of the year! It was the talk on social media for days when a Specsavers van had appeared to crash into a bollard - a humorous way of hinting towards their ever famous tagline ‘Should’ve gone to Specsavers’ and reminding people to book their eye test 🤓 3. Surreal, the slightly weird yet wonderful cereal brand who’s marketing has been unmissable this year. In particular, there ‘Gainsburys’ advert for their launch into Sainbury’s utilised sarcasm and humour in best way 💪 Their definitely one to follow on socials, their brand tone of voice is just hilarious! 4. Waitrose’s marketing effort was fenced off by the council, which makes it all the more entertaining. Their wonky billboard delivered a message to their customers that their prices were dropping in a unique way and it certainly got people talking ⬇️ 5. The Ordinary skincare brand took a giant bottle on tour around the River Thames 🇬🇧 to promote a new formulation of their best seller. I mean, just think about all the UGC they would of got! It’s funny, creative, and anyone who took a picture of the bottle and came into the store got free goodies. What have been your favourite marketing campaigns this year? 🤷♀️

After a high-profile marketing campaign featuring #SnoopDogg, Solo Brands has announced a change in CEO. Despite the campaign gaining 60,000 social media followers, it failed to translate into the expected increase in sales. The article mentions the success in achieving brand awareness, but is it really? I'll probably forget this name in a few weeks. 🤷♂️ 🛒 Maybe it's just how I shop for garden items, but when deciding to buy a smokeless firepit, I'm likely to just go to my local The Home Depot or Lowe's Companies, Inc. and see what they have. 🤯 It's also always puzzling to me when high-profile individuals are fired after making mistakes... how can they learn without making mistakes? This approach doesn't encourage innovation and testing. 🚬 Additionally, it's surprising that after spending so much on the campaign, they don't even feature Snoop Dogg recommending their products on the homepage. https://solobrands.com/ 💡 Regardless, I think the idea for the campaign was pretty clever. https://lnkd.in/gTVwAJQ3

🪓 Just SHAMSH it!! 🔨 You know how it is, you spend hours going over details and ensuring all the copy, artefacts, projects, decks and overall execution is on point. Then a bead of sweat 😰 drips down your brow as you start to think, will anyone actually engage with this? 🧐 Well… One marketer and brand has said screw that, lets just smash our way into our customers feeds and of course pockets! 🍹 Mixolshe, a mock tail brand have effectively curbed all theory and simple used their social channels to ‘smash’ their products. Like literally, smash them! Why? Well it was a little unclear, but as we got towards the end of the campaign, it was evident a rebrand was coming. What is even more impactful, the brand created a huge community of followers via a grass roots campaign calling all their members the ‘smash army’. It also jumped on the band wagon of helping an intern become the head of marketing! Truly gamifying their campaign. Check out her social media here: https://lnkd.in/g47JRpqk Even so… This was a ‘smashing’ success and the company boosted sales by a whopping 800%! 📈 So what? Sometimes you need to buck the tried and true methods to really get through to your audience. It’s a risk, but it may just smash through your competition… https://lnkd.in/g2DUfe6H #marketing #campaign #smashd #brand #cocktails #drinks #product #storytelling #focus #community #instagram

So. CEO of Solo grills makes campaign with Snoop Dogg. Campaign goes viral. Talk of town. But the cash registers do not ring and CEO is fired. Ouch... ...it makes me sad. We need more bold branding, more fun, more things that are good enough to be shared and talked about. What went wrong? My spontaneous reaction was that this was a case of changing the rules in the middle of the game. By all signs it seems like the Snoop film was the first of an intended long term brand effort, not a short term sales campaign. But it might be a more complex answer - revealing that the campaign simply wasn't that good. So it becomes a metrics issue. I saw an excellent post earlier today by Andrew Tindall on what this campaign exemplifies, and it inspired me to tell this story through a metrics lense. You see, just the awareness and engagement (clicks) were obviously not enough to create a sales lift. And even with a long term strategy, it is not a good thing to not see a short term lift. I try to do three things here: 1. make advertising effect metrics fun and understandable, 2. show why a very wide spread viral campaign can fail to sell and 3. give you two metrics that could have mitigated disaster (one proactively, one to diagnose if it was the campaign or other things that failed) I hope you enjoy.

”Jumping from campaign metrics to business metrics means we ignore peoples internal processes.” Now, what do we mean by internal processes? Right, brand image. And where is the brand experience located? Exactly, in the long-term memory.

As someone who's always been deeply passionate about marketing, I'm constantly on the lookout for campaigns that truly stand out and make a long lasting impression. Recently, I came across some incredible marketing campaigns that really captured my attention and left me inspired. I wanted to share these with you all, along with some personal insights and key takeaways for us as marketers. Here are a few campaigns that struck a chord with me: 🔹 Nike's "Just Do It" campaign: This iconic tagline has always resonated with me, but seeing their latest ads showcasing everyday athletes achieving their goals was particularly moving. It reminded me of my own journey in marketing and the times I've had to push through challenges to achieve my goals. 👉 Takeaway for Marketers: Identify your core values and connect with your audience emotionally. When people feel aligned with your brand, they're more likely to resonate with your message. 🔹 Pepsi's "Is Pepsi OK?" campaign: This campaign was a pleasant surprise. I loved how they used humor and self-awareness to position Pepsi as a fun and relatable alternative to other colas. It made me think about how important it is to understand and play with consumer perceptions. 👉 Takeaway for Marketers: Understand how consumers perceive your brand and leverage that perception to your advantage. Don’t be afraid to use a little humor! 🔹Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign: This campaign really hit home for me. By promoting self-confidence and body positivity, Dove took a stand on an important issue and offered a refreshing perspective in the beauty industry. It reminded me of the importance of authenticity and standing for something meaningful. 👉 Takeaway for Marketers: Don't be afraid to champion a cause that aligns with your brand values. Marketing can be a powerful tool for positive social impact. 🔹GoPro's "Awards" campaign: This one was particularly inspiring. By encouraging user-generated content and offering incentives, GoPro created a vibrant community and showcased the capabilities of their product in a very authentic way. It made me reflect on the power of community and how valuable user-generated content can be. 👉 Takeaway for Marketers: Think about ways to encourage user-generated content. Incentivize your audience to create content that highlights the value of your product or service. These campaigns have really inspired me to think more creatively and strategically in my own marketing efforts. I'd love to hear from you—what are some of your favorite marketing campaigns and why? #digitalmarketing #branding #advertisingandmarketing #onlinemarketing #marketingtips #strategy

Graphic Designer | Social Media Marketer | Marketing Analyst A marketing enthusiast who is always ready to learn new things
A billboard that blew my mind..... While traveling recently, I came across a billboard unlike any other. It wasn't a flashy advertisement for a new product or service; it was completely empty. Just a bare structure standing stark against the blue sky. At first, it felt strange, almost unsettling. But then it hit me: We're so bombarded with marketing messages that even their absence feels unusual. This encounter served as a powerful reminder. Marketing is like a thread woven into the fabric of our daily lives. From the moment we wake up and scroll through social media, to the packaging on our breakfast cereal, to the way our favorite stores curate their ambiance – we're constantly consuming marketing content, it is present in every minute thing of our lives. Often people look down on me just because I chose marketing as a career, hinting at the fact that it just means selling. But that is the point where I would like to draw a line, "Marketing is not just selling", it is everything, starting from need identification to product development. So, the next time you encounter a random advertisement, do take a moment to absorb it because it might inspire you to come up with a creative idea in your field as well. #marketing #digitalmarketing #OOH

Marketing Dive's Chris Kelly on the Campaign Trail: Sheetz encourages fans to unleash their inner Freakz. First launched nearly 40 years ago to boost sales, Sheetz’s “Made To Order” menu has become the signature offering of the convenience store chain, which has hundreds of locations across the mid-Atlantic region. Consumers love the chain’s approach to customizing food orders, helping Sheetz build a loyal customer base that the brand lovingly refers to as “Freakz.” Sheetz is celebrating those dialed-in consumers and their id-fueled inner voices in its latest campaign. Central to “Sheetz Freakz,” which includes out-of-home ads, interactive social media filters and other elements, are four 30-second TV spots that pair consumers with self-styled puppet versions of their inner Freakz — a red plushie that falls somewhere between Taz from “Looney Tunes” and Animal from “The Muppets.” The spots follow a similar pattern: the introduction of a scenario (a couple settling in to stream their favorite show, for example), a “Feed Your Inner Sheetz Freak” title card, a humorous insight (what happens when someone “cheats” on their partner and watches ahead?), a rapid-fire, quick-cut montage of customized food and quick convenience and the campaign’s “Why The Sheetz Not” tagline. “This campaign is rooted in strategy,” said Tammy Dunkley, Sheetz’s director of brand design. “Being able to get what they want, how they want it and when they want it is this feeling of liberation: ‘I do not have to settle, that’s why I go there. That’s why I choose Sheetz over the next guy — because they fulfill my needs better than anybody else.’ ″[Our consumers] have an undying love for the brand, so we created this little character to represent your inner Freak,” the executive continued. “Everybody’s needs are a little bit different, but we all have a commonality and love for the brand: Go ahead and listen to the things that [your Freak] wants you to do, go above and beyond, live life on the edge, put mozzarella sticks on your burger, go ahead, ‘Why the Sheetz Not’?” via @marketingdive
