From creating ROI-driven strategies and driving business-wide innovation to keep organisations ahead in an ever-changing market to driving sales – today, the role of marketers has changed. The role is now deeply entrenched in the business as it touches all important aspects. Though, the role of marketers has changed. But has the mindset changed? Seth Godin nailed it when he said
Marketing has changed, but our understanding of what we’re supposed to do next hasn’t kept up. When in doubt, we selfishly shout. When in a corner, we play small ball, stealing from our competition instead of broadening the market. When pressed, we assume that everyone is just like us, but uninformed. Mostly, we remember growing up in a mass market world, where TV and the Top 40 hits defined us. As marketers, we seek to repeat the old-fashioned tricks that don’t work anymore.
Marketers using old marketing tactics ( without giving a thought to the changing business landscape) to create new brand experiences, aren’t playing a clear-sighted marketing game. Rather it’s a blind one.

Burger King’s geo-mobile campaign, “Whopper Detour” which trolled its rival McDonald’s set a perfect example of how to use data and analytics to create brand connectivity outside of traditional transactional environment. Burger King offered its iconic sandwich, Whopper, to its customers just for 1 cent, the only catch was that only smartphone users who downloaded the upgraded Burger King app and were near rival McDonald’s locations could redeem the offer. The campaign led to 1.5 million app downloads in 9 days.
Let’s see how Domino’s used different channels in an integrated manner for the campaign. It created a micro-site, www.pavingforpizza.com, so people could nominate potholes in their town that need repair. If Domino’s selects the town, then the user will be informed and the government will receive funds to help repair roads. Also, a press release was issued announcing the campaign and providing a link to the micro-site where users could go and nominate.
“Have you ever hit a pothole and instantly cringed?” Russell Weiner, president of Domino’s USA explains, stated in a press release. “We know that feeling is heightened when you’re bringing home a carryout order from your local Domino’s store. We don’t want to lose any great-tasting pizza to a pothole, ruining a wonderful meal.”

The campaign forced the European Parliament to ratify a new organic agriculture regulation.

“MINI Tweet to Test Drive”is a unique social media campaign which encouraged the car shoppers in San Francisco and Los Angeles to request a test drive of Mini Countryman or its plug-in hybrid version with a simple Tweet with the hashtag #MINIonDemand plus a red car emoji. Those who tweeted were sent a link to schedule the personal test drive. After sharing their information such as their preferred pick up destination, preferred vehicle, and date and time that suited them, the users were picked up by a trained driver and could drive around in the MINI for 30 mins. MINI then followed up with a Thank You discount code. The campaign helped MINI schedule 80 test drives. It generated 4.9M Impressions across LA and San Francisco, 13K Engagements, and 1.5K Brand Mentions across Twitter.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-1&features=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%3D%3D&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1057375858053177344&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techshu.com%2Fblog%2Fdigital-marketing-training-corporate-campaigns-get-inspired&sessionId=bf1a051c83cdec53540c3af80eac0ee5a6e7967b&theme=light&widgetsVersion=a3525f077c700%3A1667415560940&width=550px
When Fortnite, the biggest online game in the world, installed a new expansion called Food Fight, pitting Team Burger against Team Pizza, Wendy’s found an opportunity to reach the community of gamers with a message – the evils of frozen beef + Wendy’s never uses frozen beef. They created a digital avatar with red hair and pigtails with a single mission (which happens to look a lot like their logo) – to destroy the freezers storing beef. Her shenanigans were streamed on Twitch where millions watched her destroying the freezers. Users watched more than 1.1 million minutes of the freezer rampage. This was social gaming taken to the next level.
