Holidays are a time to meet the family, eat great home-cooked food, spend some down time, and create memories. It is also a time to come up with creative excuses to avoid relatives that drive us nuts, think of genius ways to salvage the over-cooked (read burnt) turkey, and brace ourselves for the onslaught of holidays advertisements that litter our newsfeeds, mail boxes, TV screens, and app interfaces.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with a Thanksgiving ad that turned the whole game on its head and set the bar for others to follow.<\/p>\n

1. REI\u2019s \u2013 #OptOutside Campaign<\/h2>\n

REI<\/a>, the outdoor clothing, gear, and footwear brand launched a Thanksgiving ad campaign in 2015 using the hashtag #OptOutside. The campaign announced that the company will close its offices and stores all over the country during the Thanksgiving holiday, to pay its employees to go outside to spend time with families, and explore the great outdoors together.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s decision to close its doors during the biggest holiday rush of the year was an unthinkable approach at the time. It effectively closed its doors to attractive sales and profits. The idea, however paid off, and what the company may have lost in terms of short term profits, it gained in long term brand awareness, brand message, creating a lasting connection with its consumers, and send an authentic message that resonated with people. According to the CTN News<\/a>, the ad got 2.7 billion PR impressions during the first 24-horus of its launch with social media impressions reaching to 7000%.<\/p>\n
