Amazon’s #AdjustNoMore
Amazon did a brilliant job on its Diwali digital marketing campaign last year. Using a simple insight, it created a relatable story of every household during the festive season. Focusing on the sacrifices family members make for each other, especially the sole bread earners in many families. Amazon asked them not to adjust anymore and buy the things they deserve. The video also kicked off the Diwali sale last year and broke the clutter of holiday and promotional campaigns around the time.
Future Generali’s #RakshaBandhan Campaign
A few years ago, Future Generali put a positive spin on the protector-protected relationship between brothers and sisters. In keeping with recent sentiments, moving away from the patriarchal nature of Raksha Bandhan, the ad showed an elder sister telling her brother that she was the one who protected him all these years. It ends with the brother agreeing and tying a rakhi to the sister instead.
Every marketer can learn a thing or two from the simplicity and impact of these campaigns, although they work on the simplest of insights. We can definitely conclude that in holiday digital marketing campaigns of today, your storytelling, likeability, and engagement matter first. Holiday promotions, deals, features, and any form of hard sell come much later, or maybe never.
