Did somebody say… 🍔 🍟

Just passed the 2 year mark with Gondola. Such a great place to credit your team and yourself with whatever creative work you do. Couldn't recommend this service enough: https://lnkd.in/g2CKQgPj
the best way to bridge political divides, make people consider different points of view, etc. - make them watch this ad.
did it increase sales in the short term? probably.
maybe not as much as a price promo though.
should the price promo have been executed instead and the hassle of making this avoided?

Ever heard how a diamond became forever? 💎
In the late 1940s, the diamond industry faced a decline in sales and a bleak future.
Enter De Beers and their ingenious PR strategy that would change the narrative around diamonds forever.
With the help of the N.W. Ayer agency, they launched a campaign positioning diamonds as the ultimate symbol of love and commitment.
The masterstroke was the simple yet powerful slogan: "A Diamond is Forever."
This wasn't just marketing; it was PR genius, embedding diamonds into the very fabric of marriage and relationships.
The campaign elevated the diamond engagement ring from a luxury to a tradition, increasing demand and securing De Beers' market dominance.
The takeaway?
Great PR transcends advertising, crafting narratives that resonate deeply with cultural values and emotions. It shows that with the right message, you can not only change perceptions but create enduring traditions.
This story illustrates the power of PR to influence not just consumer behavior but society itself.

Morning!
What can music teach us about brand communications?
If you do one thing today it’s this, just grab a cup of your favourite drink, find a comfortable place to curl up where you can be undisturbed for a few moments and treat yourself to this wonderful musical performance.
I dare you to watch without welling up.
As someone who lives and breathes music alongside my professional career I wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t thinking about how music relates to everything in life.
As I watch this and am moved to tears by the the reactions of the audience (make sure you watch, it is truly uplifting watching their faces) I think …
Imagine if your brand could connect with your audiences in the same way ❤️
Imagine if you could really harness the all encompassing power of real and authentic emotion into your brand communications.
Imagine if you could capture your passion, pride and excitement for your product and use that the infuse every part of your brand communications, as performers do.
Imagine a strategy as a song, it starts with intrigue, and begins to build excitement, before a powerful middle section takes over and leads to the crescendo, finally delivering the emotional punch that leaves the listener completely hooked and wanting to hear it again and again (product life cycle anyone? ☺️)
We also make our films like a song 🥰
Wrapping up your brand strategy with a great big dollop of true and authentic emotion and thinking about what music can teach us about engagement and stirring the emotions could possibly, just possibly, move your audience in the same way as the then brave 15 year old Emma Kok.
Watch how the audience are completely hooked from the very first note and how the whole audience are in tears, including grown ups, grandparents, parents and children. Wow 😮 imagine if we could do this with our first brand note in the brand song.
So curl up and enjoy.
Please do share this performance - Emma Kok is an inspiration ❤️
Would to know what you think ❤️
