The founding father of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg became a fashion icon on the 1st for his basic gray tee and ordinary pair of denim jeans. This fake collaboration had all eyes. The hashtag #MarkforHM spread like wildfire.

This felt almost as if the brand stepped into your dreams and also into a time-machine at the same time. We loved the product usage depicted towards the end of this video.
TalkTalk
Who says pets aren’t social animals… They need their own social network too. Another genius campaign idea that has been creatively copied by many brands over the years. You may talk the talk but can you walk the walk like TalkTalk?
