This is the plot I call you on a Saturday afternoon. I want to come over to your place so we can spend some quality time together. This is the opportunity you have been waiting for, so you cancel your soccer night with your friends. Upon arrival, we head straight to the kitchen to make some chicken and fries and pop the corn. It gets hot, so hot that I take off my shirt. I am left with my trousers, a singlet, and a bra. Like it wasn't enough, Enerveo cuts the power. No more fan; the heat is so intense; I can't take it any more. We are two adults alone and in the dark. What do we do? Then I realised it was definitely the right moment to DO IT. Don't you agree? Let's get some Schweppes! What did you expect? The first time I came across one of Schweppes’ ads, I was about 14 years old, and it made no real sense at all (I was not the target anyway...) . But today, I understand. All their ads revolved around this kind of po*no chic synopsis in which the drink was methaphorically compared to s*x, and it stuck for a long time (at least, as far as I am concerned). So, to borrow a trick from an advertising magnate (Olgivy on advertising), these are five crucial questions that help me recognize a big idea: Did it make me gasp when I saw it? Yes Did I wish I had thought of it myself? Yes Is it unique? Yes Does it fit the strategy to perfection? I don't know Could it be used for 30 years? Yes Five ‘yes’ answers would have meant it was a good one. I wonder why it was discontinued though... And you, which big idea Schwepped you off your feet? #NincheleGuylene #LetsAdstorm #schweppes #bigideas #commercials

I'm convinced that a potato has a more interesting social media presence than most brands. All the post sound and look the same on the feed. It's like Fast and Furious 12. Should had ended 11 movies ago. Ever feel like you're the only one who doesn't have their sh*t together? We all have those days where we feel like a potato, bland, boring, and just kinda...meh. Like everyone else is killing it with their perfectly curated brand, while yours is more "hot mess express"? 🙋♀️ You're not alone. We ALL have those moments of self-doubt, those days where we feel like we're just not enough. But guess what? Even potatoes have their moments. They can be mashed, fried, baked, or turned into vodka (okay, maybe not the best example, but you get the point). But guess what? That's what makes you interesting. Your quirks, your flaws, your unique perspective, that's the good stuff! That's what makes your brand REAL. So ditch the pressure to be perfect and embrace the beautiful mess that is YOU. Your dream clients are out there, waiting to connect with the real you. #brandstrategy #branding #smallbusinessstrategy

This is why marketers can’t have nice things! Really 7/11? Why is the bottom of this cup so deep it could hold a shot of espresso? Cheaters. One of the most important things in marketing a product long term is value. I tell my clients that all the time. I don’t want to work for the cheapest roofer in the market, I want to work with the one that provides great work at a budget that doesn’t make people run away and cry. Advertising this cup as “extra large” and then flipping the script by taking back that petty inch of space probably had a data backed number cruncher behind it. And I’m sure they are right. Save 2 oz a cup, per cup over x amount of cups and x amount of time…. Save millions! But did they? I’m going to go back to the gas station by my house cause I don’t feel lied to and irritated by my morning coffee. And I’m basically caffeine and sarcasm in human form at this point so how much is it saving if I’m not getting my 6 gallons of coffee a day from you but instead get it from your competitor? I demand my coffee space back. This is why marketers can’t have nice things. #marketing #value #productmarketing

Boundaries are fine, but is professional impersonal? Certainly not in all fields, and definitely not when you want to truly understand your customers or colleagues. Empathy and emotional intelligence are important. I was looking at mobile game marketing strategies the other day and noticed articles recommending that you position your game as relaxing; I also started noticing similar calls to action in YouTube video titles. What you can infer is that in spite of not necessarily knowing how to talk about it, and maybe falling into ever more fragmented minutes, there are a fair amount of people out there who are seeking comfort and connection, and many who have been traumatized by events of the last several years. Some soldiers are able to come home from a war, and may be forever changed, but they are able to heal from the trauma and with acceptance, keep on serving society. Working hard towards an outcome and moving on seems important. Other soldiers never fully make it home. Seeking the help you need and seeking others to help will always be important. As for me, I’ve gotten a bit too detached from the natural world, but I happen to like animals, and I enjoyed this video. Why is it so popular? I think because it is comforting, made by a kind person. If there is something you love doing, I invite you to film yourself doing it. Don’t worry about marketing techniques or even production quality. Try it.

Taking the headaches out of marketing for small, medium and yes, large businesses! Bringing a strategic and financial focus to marketing, so the time and money you allot to your marketing isn't wasted.
No one shoves an entire loaf of bread into their mouth at once (or at least they shouldn’t). The same holds true for a robust, comprehensive marketing strategy! You don’t want to try to do everything at once. It is best to look at your strategy bit by bit, like savoring a warm loaf of bread. You want to pay attention to the smell, texture, and flavor of the bread. The same holds true for your marketing activities. It is imperative to see how your strategies land with your clients, monitor your analytics, and decide if they’re ready (or your budget is ready) for another bite. Eat too much too soon, and you could find yourself uncomfortable and having difficulty digesting. Bite by bite will allow you to understand what your target market is ready for and how much they can digest at a time. You do not want them to leave the table and walk away. Interested in breaking bread? Contact me, and let's make some dough! #makingdough #marketingstrategy

Luxury Brand Strategy ✨ Integrated Marketing Communications ✨ Strategic Partnerships ✨ Revenue Generation
This is wonderful. 🍩🍦Hot fudge sundae flavored sparkling water in a tallboy can with 20 calories curtousy of Liquid Death & Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. The offbeat, shock mashup/collab strategy being used here has been a trend in the consumer goods industry for a bit where brands find a partner to get weird with and make it go viral on social. Or as Morning Brew lovingly said, “from the ‘unhinged, chronically online marketing era’ playbook”. #marketing #brandcollabs #mashup #marketingstrategy #consumergoods #cpg #marketingtrends #liquiddeath #vanleeuwen

Why would someone drink water from a casket? 🤔 Before we find answer to this question... Let's figure out why Liquid Death launched it anyway ⬇️ So basically, unique products and creative strategies like these are less for the revenue and more to capture attention and spark conversations. You see, drinking water from a casket-shaped bottle is a bold move and gets people talking. No-doubt, It also makes a cool statement for those who appreciate the unexpected...BUT It's major role is creating a memorable experience and bringing more people to try their main revenue-generating products. So would your brand launch a unique product to drive brand awareness and buzz? 🤓 #creativestrategy #liquiddeath #paidads #flasket

I’m a little bit fascinated with Scream Truck and how they are creating urgency and FOMO and making me spend 3x what I would from a traditional ice cream truck. I think it’s pretty regional, so I’ll quickly explain. Scream Truck is an ice cream truck that texts me when they’ll be in my neighborhood so I can opt into a stop on my house. Of course, I had to opt in for these texts. How’d they make that happen? The first time I saw them in my neighborhood, the kids and I ran up thinking we’d buy ice cream. We hadn’t pre-ordered, so we couldn’t buy. They gave us free samples and pointed me to a QR code. Prior consent ✅ They text me when they will be in the neighborhood. I haven’t even been thinking about ice cream. Demand created ✅ You text Y if you want them to come to your house. If you don’t text fast enough, they tell you the route is full. Urgency ✅ Scarcity ✅ Then they text you a link to their menu. The prices are reasonable, but so much higher than the prices at a traditional ice cream truck. Increased market basket ✅ You can order free ice cream for your dogs. Feel good factor ✅ Perceived value ✅ The kids love Scream Truck. More importantly, they ask “why not us???” if they see the truck and it doesn’t stop for them. FOMO ✅ Guilt ✅ The side of the truck shows their IG feed of happy customers. Social proof ✅ UGC ✅ I’m not always sure that I like Scream Truck more than the excitement of chasing down traditional ice cream trucks, but it’s good. I’m a repeat consumer. And I’m super impressed by their marketing. #MarketingMindset #Innovation #MomLife

🍔 Spotted this brilliant sign today: "Buy one burger for the price of two and receive a second burger absolutely free!" 😂 Is this the next level of marketing genius or what? It got me thinking... could this be a new trend in promotions? 🤔 What if we applied this to other industries? Imagine: "Buy one coffee at double the price, get your next one on the house!" ☕ What do you all think? Could this quirky strategy work for your business, or is it just a recipe for a good laugh? Share your thoughts below! And yes, photos of the sign are attached to spark that inspiration (or just give you a good chuckle). #MarketingStrategy #BusinessHumor #CreativePromotions
