\u201cHistorians and archaeologists will one day discover that the ads of our time are the richest and most faithful daily reflections any society ever made of its whole range of activities.\u201d \u2013Marshall McLuhan<\/p>\n

Our industry is an exciting one; something new to learn at every step. Before you get used to a certain style of work, the industry trend changes so swiftly that you\u2019d find yourself always on your toes! But even with so much new information coming in, there are days when your brain sort of gets \u2018idea-deprived\u2019. Yup, it\u2019s true. Days when an entire week feels like a long Monday which refuses to end. And no, even coffee doesn\u2019t help. These are the days when you feel like \u201cChal yaar, Goa chalte hain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since we all know how that plan never works out, here are some campaigns that will provide you with inspiration to get your sass back. These are the campaigns (arranged in no particular order) that are not just out-of-the-box but also gained success in connecting with the audience. I am sure they\u2019ll put a BIG smile on your face and make your bored brains go \u201cOh yeah\u201d Let\u2019s take a look:<\/p>\n

1. Game of Thrones Season 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Game<\/p>\n

It does not happen by coincidence that Game of Thrones wins advertising every year. If you\u2019re a Game of Thrones fan, then you probably know about this brilliant campaign already, but to all the novices this is one campaign that is undeniably too cool to handle.
\nIn 2013, to get the fans excited (like they weren\u2019t already!) GOT went a little crazy when it made its fans literally searching everywhere for dragons. It printed silhouettes of dragons near the HBO building in LA and in newspapers, buses, train as well as billboards.<\/p>\n

As it turned out, it wasn’t just LA that was hit by the campaign. People all over the world were overwhelmed by that. It was definitely a huge hit and created a lot of buzz around the world as people couldn’t wait to watch the upcoming season!<\/p>\n

2. Dove Real Beauty Sketches<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Dove<\/p>\n

You\u2019re more beautiful than you think. <\/em>
\nDove has always been known to have gone to the next level as it really knows how to appeal to people\u2019s emotions.
\n\u201cIf someone asked you to describe yourself, what would you say?\u201d This is what Dove\u2019s Real Beauty Sketches campaign started off with. The company went with the assumption that in today\u2019s world, who looks better and how can you look like somebody else and in the process what we are doing is becoming extremely critical of ourselves. We have forgotten to appreciate our own beauty.<\/p>\n

So Dove went with a very interesting approach. It asked a number of women to describe their appearance to FBI-trained forensic artists, who then drew their sketches based on the information. And the result was insightful. It found that most women had a distorted self-image. This was eventually converted into a video.
\nAbout 50 million people viewed this video in less than 12 days of its release. Since then, It has been viewed more than 180 million times over social media<\/a> and inspired thousands of women. Now, wouldn’t you call that a success?<\/p>\n

3. #LIKEAGIRL by Always<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"LIKEAGIRL<\/a><\/p>\n

Campaigns with a social message often work and this is what happened with Always.<\/p>\n

We have all grown up listening to things like \u2018stop acting like a girl\u2019 or \u2018don\u2019t throw like a girl\u2019, haven\u2019t we? The entire campaign by Always was based on exactly that- changing how \u2018Like a girl\u2019 phrase is used as an insult and how that isn\u2019t cool at all. It created a number of videos where girls performed a number of actions \u201clike a girl\u201d and in the process proving how fierce, independent, hardworking, strong and persistent a girl can be, very unlike the perception.<\/p>\n

The campaign was a huge hit. In fact, during the campaign, the hashtag #LikeAGirl was mentioned as much as one every 90 seconds. The campaign did not stop at this as it went on to transcend borders and the video was viewed by around 80 million viewers across 150 nations. Now, wouldn\u2019t you call that a success?<\/p>\n

4. The Oreo Eclipse<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Wondering what that is? In 2015, when the Solar Eclipse was about to happen (first time in 16 years) there was a lot of excitement around it. And guess who did not miss the opportunity to jump right in! That\u2019s right, OREO!<\/p>\n

Although the real Solar eclipse was nothing but a disappointment because it was all covered in clouds. It was Oreo that became the real star when it started creating its own eclipse videos all over the nation!<\/p>\n

When people opened their newspapers one fine morning, they woke up to a translucent image of the Oreo biscuit. This was not all. It even created real time eclipses on billboards everywhere!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t even get us started on how successful it was as the video was seen by more than 20 million people each day and since the campaign, there was a 35% increase in Sales<\/a>. Woah.<\/p>\n

5. Johnnie Walker \u2014 Keep the Flame Alive<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Keep<\/p>\n

It was a time of conflict for the Lebanese people and this was exactly the time when Johnnie Walker, the popular whiskey brand, decided to show support. They began with the #KeepWalkingLebanon and what they did win many hearts. They put all strong messages on the ground and not in any other way but by a fire calligrapher. This calligrapher traveled the entire country, supported by an entire crew and rewarded participants each night!<\/p>\n

The brand saw an overall growth of 19.99%. In fact, they were also featured in one of Lebanon\u2019s most popular talk show. The entire campaign had around 40,400,000 impressions. We are truly impressed, are you?<\/p>\n
