KFC UK & Ireland had enough of the copycats, so they responded like this! 😆 When you’re as iconic as KFC, imitators are inevitable. You could exhaust your legal team, or you could hand the challenge to your creative team. Because true creativity is about turning problems into opportunities. In this case, the focus shifted from the 'copycats' to the consumers: 'How do we remind everyone that KFC is the original, the legacy fried chicken restaurant?' The result? A stroke of genius.🤯 Bravo, KFC.👏 #KFC #Marketingcampaign #creativecampaign #controversy #brand #creative Phoebe Syms Gwen Taylor Kate Wall Leo Sloley Ahava-Shaffra Gray-Read Suzanne Perry Maria Mastellone Kathryn York Alice Hutfield Anne Parker Josie Sykes Lawrence Heyes Jean-Paul Renouprez Katrina Khan Meghan Farren Daniel Mark CarrJatin Chandwani Vihang Shah Sarah F.

This might just be the FUNNIEST and MOST CREATIVE campaign ever 😭. Sportsbet nailed it with their latest campaign, the "Elite Average Games." This parody of Olympic-style sports, featuring everyday people in hilariously average competitions, is a stroke of genius. This campaign is a masterclass in using humor and relatability to engage an audience, showcasing the power of flipping traditional narratives and thinking outside the box. Instead of highlighting elite athletes, it celebrates the average individual, emphasising the relatable struggles and triumphs of everyday people. In a competitive market, standing out and connecting with your audience often means taking risks and being willing to have fun with your brand message. Kudos to Sportsbet! 🎉 #Marketing #CreativeCampaign #Sportsbet #Branding #Advertising #HumorInMarketing Mark Migliorini Rambo Goraya Kathy Schokman Yuta Kobayashi Dan Atkins Callan Mckean Shaun Conroy Chris Chard Jamie McGloin Matt Weston Senie Priti Ben Blennerhassett Jaime Gillespie Dale Cochrane Ella Carey Fleur Fava Olivia Stewart Stevo Williams Scott W.

10 best Heinz ads of all time 🍅 : 💡 Kraft Heinz 1. It has to be Heinz pt 2 Principle: Anti-Fragile If people are copying your product, use it in your marketing campaign. Turn your copiers into sexy social proof. 2. Choose Your Level Principle: Video Game Interface Choose your character. We have a product for everyone. 3. The Heinz Tattoo Principle: Costly Signalling Theory How do you 100% know if you have a brand? If people have branded themselves with your logo. 4. Heinz Principle: Becoming The Verb Heinz ad trying to create a verb in customers' heads: "Uber it", "Google it" or "Hoover it" -- but for Ketchup. Genius. 5.

Heinz Principle: Classical Conditioning Running out of ideas? Use the motion associated with your product. 7. Heinz - Halloween Principle: Seasonal Hijacking. "If you have Heinz, you have a costume". Always top of mind. 8. The Original Baked Beans Principle: "What Came First" 1901: Heinz Beans in a can 1927: Can openers 9. AI Ketchup Principle: The Obvious Choice Heinz asking AI to come up with ketchup and getting Heinz is iconic. 10.

Well done Channel 4 ❗️👏 Channel 4 are challenging stereotypes and attitudes around disability through their latest campaign "Considering What?" for the 2024 Paralympics.

WOW... Kraft Heinz have really taken marketing to another level❗️ The Ad "Now You Can't Unsee It" by Maximum Effort and creative agency Rethink, features a voiceover by Ryan Reynolds where he breaks the fourth wall and says once you see it, you can't unsee it... Deadpool is Ketchup and Wolverine is Mustard (both from Heinz obviously!) Rethink’s chief creative officer Mike Dubrick said that Reynolds’ and co-star Hugh Jackman’s code names on set were Mustard and Ketchup, and that the agency had been seeing social media memes connecting the two characters with Heinz. That led to a collaboration with Marvel and Maximum Effort to make the idea reality. Humorous, comedy_gold & the perfect combo - this is genius marketing. 🔴Who else is excited about Deadpool 3?🟡 💡Kraft Heinz | Marvel Entertainment | Rethink | Maximum Effort George Dewey frazer price Kristina Windham James Toney Kathleen Swanson Dan Donovan Clare Berman Kathleen Swanson Jena Wolfe Sean McDonald Nicole Rajesky Mike Dubrick Asher Stamell Daniel Lobatón Morey Danielle Bablich Joel McCurdy Don Shelford Tara Lawall Elyse Sanders Julian Morgan Pascal Routhier Aaron Starkman Jenna Zylber Alice Fox Hannah Winterbourne Justin Thomas Todd Kaplan Daniel Gotlib Kaitlin Roe Traci Graziani
