It’s unfortunate we couldn’t see you on Valentine’s as we only meet on Fridays. To be honest, we waited for you to text us first so we can ask you out. But it’s okay. We were too busy working anyway.
So once we came back home from work, we felt exhausted and went directly to bed to watch some videos that turn us on. Oh, not THAT kind of videos. We watched something even sexier. You must know our taste well enough by now to take a guess. That’s right – Valentine’s Day ads!
Yeah, love definitely sells. It’s estimated that people spent $24 billion in the U.S. alone on last year’s Valentine’s. And much of it is owed to the brilliant marketing campaigns that come hand in hand with the holiday. We want to show you some of the best commercials made especially for Valentine’s:
Match.com – Match Made in Hell
What can we say… a simply brilliant ad! What makes it so good? Well, apart from the outstanding screenplay and acting, it also took current events and gives them a humorous spin to make a memorable ad building a bond with the audience. Oh, and fun fact, it was directed by Ryan Raynolds’ agency. Ever heard of this guy?
Ryanair – #EscapeTheNonsense
The typical Valentine’s day ads may make lonely people feel left out and, tragically for businesses, not spend any money on this holiday. Imagine the potential! Well, Ryanair did. So they took the outstanding approach to target this part of the audience who just don’t want to stick around for Valentine’s.
Vodaphone – The Kiss
Arguably the most touching Valentine’s ad ever shot! And a brilliant example that you don’t even have to enforce your product or service to make your commercial effective. Sometimes all you have to do is capture people’s emotions and it will resonate with them!
Well, that’s what we watched on Valentine’s. Do you any favorite ads that you’d like to share with us? Send them over!
We’ll see each other two weeks from now, right? It’s a date!
