Best Mother’s Day Campaigns So Far

Every year in May,  Mother’s Day is celebrated not just by the average citizen, but also by brands all over the world. As we move closer to the day which celebrates mothers and love, here is looking at some of the best  Mother’s Day campaigns:

1. Google – ‘Here’s To The Moms’

Apart from coming up with a traditional Mother’s Day banner, Google always goes the extra mile to celebrate this day. By partnering with Whirled, Google came up with a campaign called Here’s To The Mom which highlighted everything  moms do for their children. What came across really well in this campaign was Google used this video to not only pay homage to the mothers, but to subtly showcase its products as well! Two birds, one stone!

2. Hallmark – ‘Put Your Heart To Paper’

As a part of its Put Your Heart To Paper campaign, Hallmark asked adults to tell their mothers how they feel without using the words “I love you” or “thank you.” For a while , Hallmark was synonymous with cheesy, soapy ads but this particular ad, with a strong message to its name, made Hallmark stand out. Part of an eight part series, the video was done so well, it brought out the unconditional love people have for their mothers!

3. Barneys – Love Mom

Barneys took influencer campaigns, influencers and  Mother’s Day to an entirely new level. Using the help of the mother daughter duo behind the extremely successful Scout the City campaign, Barneys photographed mothers and daughters paired up and having fun in their Madison Avenue store. Realising the powerful value influencers have right now, Barneys capitalised on this marketing strategy by giving people real pictures. By using the #instabarneys tag, the store also asked people to engage with them in conversations. Not only was this a great campaign in terms of showing love for mothers, it also increased Barney’s social media reach.

4. Clarins – Voicemail for the win

What would you wish for your mother? Clarins asked its customers the same question and asked them to record what they wanted through the Chinese message sharing and recording app, WeChat. Shoppers who recorded and sent their messages then got free gifts for their mothers from a Clarins store over the Mother’s Day weekend. The takeaway here is that not only was this a great way of promoting Clarins, it also made people aware of WeChat!

5. Tanishq – ForYou

As a brand, Tanishq started creating advertisements which not only make you remember the brand, but  also give you happy feelings. With their campaign dedicated toward Mother’s Day called ForYou, Tanishq brought out the beautiful relationship between a mother and her daughter. For Tanishq, this wasn’t the only campaign which pulled at one’s heart strings. With advertisements based around topics like remarriage and appreciating those with dark skin, Tanishq always goes the extra step to connect with its audience.

Mother’s Day is all about showing the importance of a mother and what people can do for their mothers. Campaigns like these were created not only to drive this message home, but to also make you as a customer remember them better.
