Yeah yeah, big budgets = big production, but what of it for smaller brands?
If you’ve got Festive Fomo as a marketing leader in big brands, here’s our take on what it means for you, and how you should view this:
It’s about owning the moment that makes sense. All these brands are big deals that have a lot of consumption of their service, or product, at this time of year.
It’s about taking from culture, but also impacting culture, too - it’s circular. John Lewis went first, the category caught up, now it’s a news moment across national press, there’s BTS content… and that’s just in the marketing echo chamber.
It’s about reminding people you’re there, in the moments that matter. It’s about being culturally relevant - and no that’s not jumping on any and all awareness days.
And also do something as big as you can afford - play bigger than you are if budgets are small, and break the frame to make leaps and bounds.
