Pepsi advertising has, over seven decades, produced some of the most studied campaigns in marketing history. It has also produced some of the most expensive missteps. The brand sits in a structurally difficult position: perpetual number two in a category defined by one dominant competitor, fighting for cultural relevance in a market where cola consumption…
Cinnamon Toast Crunch advertising works because it has done something most cereal brands stopped doing decades ago: it kept the product at the centre of the story. The “Cinnadust” obsession, the taste-chasing characters, the absurdist humour that aged surprisingly well , none of it is accidental. It reflects a brand that understood its audience well…
Advertising for Pepsi is one of the most studied, most debated, and most misunderstood briefs in marketing history. Pepsi has never been the category leader, yet it has produced some of the most culturally significant advertising ever made, from the Pepsi Generation campaigns of the 1960s through to the Pepsi Challenge, and beyond. The lessons…
Hulu advertising gives brands access to a streaming audience that is watching premium content with their full attention, in a format that is far harder to skip than anything running on social feeds or search. The platform sits at the intersection of the reach you get from broadcast television and the targeting precision you get…
Advertising on Hulu puts your brand inside a streaming environment where viewers are engaged, ad-skipping is limited, and targeting is more precise than traditional broadcast TV. It is one of the few places left where you can reach a large, attentive audience with video creative and actually know something meaningful about who saw it. Whether…
TikTok advertising works differently from every other paid social platform, and most brands are still treating it like Facebook with a vertical video crop. The platform rewards creative energy, native behaviour, and speed of iteration over polished production and audience segmentation precision. If you understand that one structural difference, most of the tactical decisions follow…
Snap advertising gives brands direct access to a young, mobile-first audience that is genuinely hard to reach anywhere else. Done well, it drives measurable awareness, consideration, and conversion across a full-funnel strategy. Done poorly, it burns budget on creative that disappears before anyone processes it, targeting that is too broad to mean anything, and measurement…
TikTok advertising works, but not in the way most brands approach it. The platform rewards creative that feels native, audiences that are defined with precision, and objectives that are honest about where buyers actually sit in the purchase cycle. Treat it like a repackaged Facebook campaign and you will get expensive, underwhelming results. The brands…
Snap advertising puts your brand in front of a younger, mobile-first audience that most other platforms struggle to reach at scale. Whether it belongs in your media plan depends on what you’re selling, who you’re selling it to, and whether you’re willing to build creative that meets Snapchat users on their own terms rather than…
Beer advertising works when it builds genuine emotional territory over time, not when it chases awareness metrics quarter by quarter. The brands that have dominated this category for decades, from Guinness to Budweiser to Heineken, share a common thread: they committed to a positioning and defended it consistently, even when the numbers made short-term retreats…
