Traditionally we have witnessed advertisements in the middle of content. It used to happen like watching your favourite series or movies on your television set and then being bombarded with ads in breaks. Today in the digital world, advertisements are content itself. The best content catches maximum eyeballs which is the first step to conversion.
Also, what better than making content that relates to your audience on their special days! This article we will talk about how marketers leveraged special days to create topical content to garner attention.
Following are the Top 10 topical creatives created by brands on special occasion to gain some extra mileage:
1. Fevikwik, Makar Sankranti:
Minimalistic copy with minimum imagery and on point communication is the key to impress the audience. By all means Fevikwik did it right.
2. Zomato and Durex, New Year:
