Check out the newsletter here for supporting charts and links: https://www.thatswhaticallmarketing.com/post/top-of-the-marketing-charts-sept-2024 In this edition of That’s What I Call Marketing, we take a look back at what hit the top of the marketing charts in September. There’s a lot to unpack, from campaigns that caught my eye to debates that will get you thinking. We dive into some big questions around attribution—Analytics Partners ask if it’s doing more harm than good—and data-driven targeting, where Jon Bradshaw reckons the martech industry might be missing the mark. Some standout campaigns? Well, Tesco’s homewares range goes all high fashion, brought to life by BBH London with some truly slick OOH work. We’ve also got G-Star RAW teaming up with Olympic gold medallist Rhys McClenaghan in a fragrance-style spot that’s dripping with effortless cool. And then there’s John Lewis, slowly building to its Christmas crescendo with a new three-part campaign kicking off with a nod to its century-spanning heritage. But it's not all about the big brands. Tombola’s fun and surreal ad starring comedian Jo Griffin breaks the mould in the hyper-competitive online bingo space, while Firehouse Subs deliver laughs with their return of the ‘Hot Sauce Table’ in a spicy series of ads. Oh, and can we talk about AI? From Adidas experimenting with AI-driven ads to Viant launching ViantAI, the future of AI in marketing is a hot topic that won’t go away (even if it sometimes feels like we wish it would!). As always, we’ll also look at a few creative stunts, like Pizza Hut’s genius move of printing job seekers’ CVs on pizza boxes—guaranteed to get attention. Plus, a clever campaign from Dad Shift pushing for better paternity leave in the UK using statues in central London as part of their message. So grab a cup of tea, dive in, and don’t forget to leave a comment with what caught your eye this month! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
