Emotional marketing campaigns are a powerful tool for brands and organizations to tap into the deeper level of consumer consciousness and channel that momentum into their cause. Such campaigns are usually successful based on their effectiveness in transforming the experience of the product into one that represents the brand as a whole, which ends up feeling more like a friend.
Able to take many forms, emotive campaigns generally all speak to the ego of the individual consumer. Whether it preys on hopes, fears or self-esteem, there are plenty of examples of this type of advertising that we are likely to encounter on a daily basis.
From projecting an archetypal character that an individual can relate to or providing an aspirational example, there are plenty of examples of clever campaigns that tap into the deep set desires of people.
