Why emotional advertising works.
Emotional advertising at it’s core, tells a story. A story that ‘you get’ and makes you feel like this brand ‘gets you’. These stories will often transcend the product itself and focus more on selling a feeling whether it’s happiness with Coca Cola or inspiration with Nike. Nike’s ‘Last‘ advert. Emotional advertising works because it doesn’t feel like advertising. It’s not pushing a product in your face and shouting “BUY NOW!”. You end up associating positive emotions with a brand and that’s exactly what they want. So next time you find yourself crying watching the “Origami” ad, don’t try stop it. That’s just emotional advertising doing it’s job.
