Hallmark’s #PutYourHeartToPaper
Hallmark, a leading manufacturer of greeting cards in the United States, had launched a series of eight videos on the occasion of Mother’s Day to grab all the attention. All eight videos contain rich emotional content over humor.
All the efforts behind any campaign can go in vain if it is not executed correctly. A smart brand can drive massive engagement towards it without letting the audience know the motive behind it.
The brand did an excellent job by simply putting the emotional elements of life that attracted and encouraged its customers and followers to open up. It helped the hallmark to fortify the relationship with the audience.

Maidenform’s Campaign
Maidenform, a US-based leading manufacturer of women’s undergarments, had set the goal to increase brand awareness up to 2 folds. So they created a sweepstakes-driven campaign and relied on social channels for its execution.
The campaign was engaging in which users were asked to share a photo with their mothers. Further, they described how their mothers have “shaped” them by using the hashtag #MFShapesMe.
This campaign helped Maidenform to become the center of attraction and leave an impact in the minds of their audience.
Pandora’s Unique Connection
Pandora, an international Danish jewelry manufacturer, took a different path on Mother’s day. They had created a video to attract the audience to their new line of personalized Mother’s Day jewelry.
In this video, some children are blindfolded and spun around their mom, and they have to find their mom by feeling their faces and hands. The idea was the perfect mix between sappy and lighthearted. This video can bring a smile to your face when you see how each child correctly identifies the feeling of their mother’s face.
The idea worked so well, as the brand succeeded at aligning emotional sweetness with the product.

Famous beverage brand Minute Maid also cashed out the occasion of Mother’s Day and attained massive engagement. They created a video in which they asked birth parents how well they were playing their part. The parents were in doubt and had no idea what their kids would say? But, words from their kids had touched their hearts and changed their minds.
Minute Maid had put brilliant efforts towards realizing parents that they are doing better than they think and inspired kids to send their moms and dads that they are #doingood. The content of this video has a tremendous ability to connect you immediately and can even make you cry.
