What we loved about these seasonal marketing examples
Each works well to deliver on its own objectives. For the traditional consumer campaigns, you get the feeling loved-up feeling, and the emotion is conveyed in their films and assets. There are some that deliberately broke the trend and hacked the Valentine’s model to get noticed. And there are ecommerce examples of marketing excellence at every step on the path to purchase. In every case, there’s a key digital element that drives the engagement, reach, or sales. And they’re all simple examples of great ideas, executed well.
