A new look deserves a new series, and as a creative digital agency, we appreciate great ideas and concepts.

In this series, we will feature exceptional and creative concepts monthly that could serve as inspiration for your digital marketing plans.

Whether it is newsjacking, good creatives or even smart copywriting, the essence of it lies in its creative strategy.

IKEA

IKEA’s marketing team has always impressed with up-to-date angles and smart creatives in their social media and it was no different for the recent month.

IKEA showed us two model examples of newsjacking done well in two separate social media ad.

Most of us have heard of the S-Hook Zeh Zeh, who went viral from selling a multi-functional shirt. But in case you haven’t:

This video got over 1.3 million views and she became an overnight Internet sensation.

Riding on this wave, IKEA created a corresponding visual promoting their hooks.

On a separate note, a man stole a bus stop bench in Singapore for home renovation purposes and was subsequently caught.

The news caught public attention not just for the absurdity of the crime, but also for the expensive value of the bench at $1,500.

In similar fashion, IKEA released this gem of an ad:

It even caught the attention of the Land Transport Authority (LTA), which sparked a mini ‘ad war’.

Through diligent work to keep up with current trends, IKEA managed to create two relevant and creative ad using newsjacking, simple visuals and smart copywriting.

Google

Google has been a technological force to be reckoned with, and that applies to the digital marketing industry as well.

However, ad content was not something the audience associate with Google, which did not stop them from launching a decent campaign for their newly-released Pixel 3.

Using the struggles of group pictures and mistimed camera shots, the ads showcased the camera features of Pixel 3 in a different light.

Google managed to create a series of ads that managed to portray simple features in a different and relatable way.

Skyscanner

When Apple released the iPhone XS last month, the exorbitant cost dominated the headlines.

As a result, there were many parodies made on this launch like the one below:

With a similar angle, Skyscanner offered their services as an alternative to the purchase of the new iPhone XS.

Although they received mixed reviews from their consumers, they managed the comments section commendably with positive and creative replies to turn most of their negative comments into a positive outcome.

Want to create innovative campaigns like these? We know a creative digital team perfect for this.

Oh Snap! You Can Play Games on Snapchat Now?!

When we talk about talking selfies and stories on our socials, which side are you on? Instagram, Facebook or… Snapchat? When Facebook attempted to buy Snapchat recently, they were rejected despite a whopping bid of $3 billion. In response, Facebook leveraged on their acquisition of Instagram to compete against Snapchat, by launching Instagram stories or what’s widely known at Instastories.

Talk about life’s regrets.

With the purchase, Instagram’s platform soared in terms of the number of users and ads, while Snapchat struggled to keep up. Facebook also launched Facebook Stories to add options for the avid social media users. From there, Snapchat started to look more and more like an Instagram copy instead of the other way around, as they struggled to innovate to pull ahead of its ‘successor’.

Until now.

Snapchat recently launched a gaming platform, similar to WeChat, in an attempt to improve user engagement and move ahead of their rival. They released a series of Snapchat filter games and Augmented Reality (AR) games that users can play on the platform.

Most notably, the AR Tennis game against Serena Williams is a clear sign that Snapchat’s advanced AR technology is going to become their selling point.

Snapchat games provide an additional tool for businesses to adapt. (YAY!) That is always welcomed for creative people (*wink wink*) to adapt for marketing.

Does Snapchat still matter?

Well, it really depends.

Snapchat numbers have risen steadily over the past year, with more and more youths adopting the platform. We’ve to admit, they’ve got really nice filters. Heh. This means any strategy or business targeting youths have to take Snapchat into serious consideration.

Incorporating gaming has given other platforms (aka Facebook) a boost before and it should do the same for Snapchat.

What can businesses do with this information?

Consider playing around with Snapchat’s functions and ads viewing if you are unfamiliar with the platform. Businesses can also start looking into adapting filters and AR games to help their own cause.

Do keep the demographics of Snapchat in mind while developing and utilising them and tie in to your branding. It will be a waste of marketing dollars otherwise.

If you want to utilise them, and you are having trouble with incorporating into your brand, consult an agency to help you.

Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) The New Wave of Advertisement Content?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has slowly crept into every industry, even in digital marketing, and it looked like everything could be made better with AI.

Digital marketing has benefitted from the automation of strenuous processes but the content within ads seemed irreplaceable by AI.

At least that’s what people thought until Burger King released this:

If you let your phone’s texting suggestion create an ad for Burger King, you’ll probably get something like:

“Burger King and I wanna was a great night out with the girls in a very small group of fun people who cannot is a great way of making it fun to try it and then make sure to make it happen.”

Similarly, in these ads, the AI’s voiceover and the content were awkward and funny, which seems to hit the spot for some consumers.

While it is scary to imagine a world where even content is run by AI, it seems like there has been more and more research and development going in that direction.

Why did this ad appeal to so many audiences?

Currently, advertisements are proliferating our everyday space, and the only way for your ad to stand out is to find creative and relatable angles.

Likewise, the Burger King ad used a creative yet relatable idea of faulty AI content, which captured the attention of the masses.

Hence, the formula seems clear: the less brand sells the product, the more it will appeal to the general public. This is because such content is viewed as more sincere in their interactions with consumers.

If you are looking for a strategic content with a creative and relatable angle, approach a creative team that generates meaningful interactions with consumers.

Will AI become the new wave of digital advertisement content?

We don’t think so.

AI has successfully transformed digital marketing, such as data analytics and targeting/re-targeting various profiles based on interests and internet behaviour.

But when it comes to content, humans are superior in terms of creativity and empathy, which AI fails to replicate.

Even the content of the Burger King ad itself was created by the marketing team at Burger King, banking on the inability of AI to create content and humour.

Without creativity and empathy, AI is unable to replicate creative and relatable content as exemplified by the Burger King ad.

So how should I craft digital marketing content going forward?

While targeting helps to bring the message to the right people, the right content will find the right people on its own.

Be creative. Creativity will remain the key to content creation for a long time.

Creative content often becomes talking points in everyday conversations and media news and improves your brand visibility.

At the end of the day, you will need creative yet strategic content (link to our top 5 ad article) to achieve marketing goals in the digital age.

It is good to employ advanced technology. However, there’s nothing in this world that can replace good and effective advertising content built on creativity, not even AI.

If you need help in crafting a top-of-the-line advertising content, look for a digital team that is experienced in doing so.
