“Consistency, relevance and strong branding are all essential to build creatively effective advertising campaigns, the marketers behind Aldi’s ‘A Christmas Carrot’ and Marmite’s ‘Flippin Tasty’ ads have revealed.”
We all know Oatly, the oat milk brand that raises the bar in creativity and is sold out everywhere. Oatly is not just a short-term hit; it has been growing like crazy over the past years and is expected to stay thanks to the lifestyle-driven purpose and them having fun creating content and interacting with their audiences.
Check out their socials, especially LinkedIn, where they engage very naturally with the business audiences. Be surprised by the content on the packaging; it changes frequently and tells an important story. Google on their DOOH content and their amazing abris. It’s a love brand, and its content is the benchmark for ‘creativity having fun’.
Somewhere I read they have a content team of 52 people. Unfortunately, I can’t find the source anymore. This shows that if you want to excel with content, you have to invest wisely.
Next to their huge team, they are rebellious. Quote: ‘what if I were to get rid of the marketing department entirely? That would create a whole lot of room to have some fun. After all, they are always ruining my work. Suddenly, creative people stood at the helm of a food company.’
Below is a copy-paste inspiring read on Oatlys’ decisions and how they became a lifestyle brand instead of a product-driven brand. Stolen with pride and giving credits where credits are due.
It’s worth the long read.

4 reasons to NOT post to all your social media channels at once
Must read for marketeers
The COVID-19 recession is not just an economic recession – it’s also a humanitarian, social and political crisis – which means that the normal rules of marketing and business may not apply.
In this article, Les Binet (Head of Effectiveness, adam&eveDDB) explores:
Nice read! Few quotes:
In my view, a good CMO needs to be doing two things at the same time. First, you need to drive sales. I doubt any CMO will last too long if the brand is tanking in sales. Second, you need to make your brand “future-proof.”
Making the brand “future-proof” requires one to create a vision about how the future will be.
I think one doesn’t need to be a marketing visionary to imagine that five to 10 years from now, people will be eating food that doesn’t contain artificial ingredients.
The main objective of the Moldy Whopper campaign was not to drive short-term sales. From my personal experience, the best way to drive short-term sales in our product category is to do a promotion (and the fast food category is filled with them) and/or to launch a new product.
Moldy Whopper grew consideration to visitation by 22.8%. And that’s truly remarkable.
Why you need the campfire and the fireworks
One common question with Moldy Whopper is: Do you really need to go that far?
Yes.
Yes, we do.

Great read! why adidas shifts its digital comms strategy… “4 yrs ago its #attribution modeling was based on last-click and it didn’t do any #brandtracking. It also focused on #efficiency over #effectiveness, leading it to look at specific KPIs and how to reduce their cost rather than what was in the best interests of its brands.”
“Adidas introduced a new campaign framework with emotional, brand-driving activity at the centre. This was an attempt to connect with consumers around major campaigns three or four times a year, while at the same time Adidas ran advertising with a rational message.”
