It takes a powerful brand to communicate with this kind of boldness. Coca-Cola is one of the few North American brands willing to leverage its brand values to encourage social change. One of its best recent examples is a campaign that originated in South America to encourage random acts of kindness.
In a recent post, I wrote how computer chip maker Intel used Appraisal Theory to force people to make an emotional conversion toempower young women across the globe. Like Truemove-H, the campaign did not feature a single product placement or sales pitch.
Together they are three examples of strategically smart communication campaigns that entice the viewer to make a powerful emotional response to a brand goal.
Gratefully, in each case no operators are standing by.
