Marketing Campaigns
My 2023 Favorites: Hulu, Target, Yankee Candle
What I love (from left to right in the picture above):
- Hulu: The play on words is perfection, and not pursuing “Huluween” would’ve 100% been a missed opportunity. I love that Hulu compiles all of my Halloween favorites into one cleverly-named category for easy access.
- Target: With the nod to “Hide and Seek,” Target’s Halloween campaign is completely on theme. I love the creativity behind this boutique, and it’s an effective way to re-advertise all of Target’s seasonal products.
- Yankee Candle: It’s candle season as much as it is spooky season. I love how Yankee Candle leans into Halloween with haunting imagery to promote their frighteningly good fragrances.
