Front and Center: Marketing Can Make Your Business Stand Out Among the Rest
Marketing is one of the most important investments your business can make. Reaching and appealing to your ideal customer base brings your brand in front of your ideal audience, increasing reach, engagement, and eventually profits. Taking a look back at some of the most unique, and successful, marketing campaigns can give you ideas for unique ways to advertise your business.
Encouraging Engagement in Real Life
Coca- Cola is a well- known name in the soda industry, but their “Share a Coke” campaign revitalized the businesses image. Each Coca- Cola bottle was made with a different name on it, allowing the consumer to buy a bottle for their friend or find a friend to share one with. This encouraged consumers to engage in their personal lives, creating a playful, fun campaign. Consumers liked being involved in this campaign, taking to social media to show their new friends or their unique bottle. The social media presence offered even more organic advertising as users engaged.
Red Bull’s Marketing Takes Flight
Red Bull took their slogan, “Red Bull Gives You Wings,” to a whole new level with their “Stratos Jump” campaign in 2012. This campaign streamed a record- breaking freefall from the stratosphere to millions of viewers across the globe. While Red Bull was already affiliated with extreme sports, this campaign secured its association forever. This campaign was the first, and only, of its kind. This marketing stunt utilized the media’s attention to this record-breaking event to gain more coverage organically. This extra coverage increased the campaign’s reach while saving money.
A Little Personalization Goes a Long Way
In more recent years, digital realms have become even more important in the marketing industry. The Barbie movie took digital marketing to a new level, encouraging interaction and engagement with consumers. To promote the Barbie movie, Warner Bros. allowed consumers to see themselves as Barbie and Ken with an AI- generated selfie program. The customizability, interaction, and availability to put on your own social media made this campaign one of the most successful, and unique, in recent years. These generated images were also able to be posted on the consumers social media, offering the movie even more exposure. Barbie was one of the tops- grossing movies of 2023. This success is partially due to viewer excitement that grew throughout their marketing campaign.
