Ever seen a Diwali ad that made you laugh instead of tear up? Netflix just did that! During Diwali, we’re used to seeing brands roll out ads full of festive lights, gifts, and happy families. But Netflix took a totally different approach! Instead of following the trend, they spoofed it, featuring Anurag Kashyap as a typical family man in a hilarious take on festive ad clichés. It’s a clever move that sets Netflix apart in a sea of sameness. 💡 Here’s the lesson for marketers: 1️⃣ Challenge Expectations: Don’t be afraid to disrupt the norm. Creativity and humor can make your brand stand out in a cluttered market. 2️⃣ Stay Relatable: Netflix used humor and a familiar face to connect with its audience naturally and engagingly. 3️⃣ Think Outside the Box: Flipping a familiar concept can transform a simple ad into something memorable and shareable. P.S. What do you think about the ad? #FestiveMarketing #Happydiwali

Even after being thousands of miles away, these brands never make us feel left out. Right now, it’s Diwali, and although I’m far from home, these brands have become my bridge to family, friends, and the warmth of celebration. They bring light, laughter, and connection into my life, making this #ModernDiwali feel just as special.

Some companies have started forcing employees to work on Saturdays just to 'earn' a Diwali holiday. This is daylight robbery! Instead of respecting the occasion, they are turning Diwali into some sort of trade-off and displaying complete disrespect to cultural values and time with the family. These companies are just adding to the stress, expecting employees to sacrifice their weekends just to get one day off with family. Festivals are meant to be enjoyed, not reduced to a mere 'work credit.' Let's break this hypocrisy! Share and spread the awareness; call out this practice. If your company is pulling this stunt, let their name be dropped in the comments below. Let the world see who is making festivals no different from a shift at work. Let's come together for a real celebration of our festivals! #happydiwali

Netflix India spiced up the usual Diwali ad scene in 2020 with a hilarious twist. They released three satirical ads under the "Make Diwali Ads Great Again" campaign, poking fun at typical insurance, tea, and telecom ads. The ads cleverly crossed over with popular Netflix series like Money Heist, Sacred Games, and Narcos, offering a refreshing break from the usual sentimental or extravagant Diwali commercials.

Recent articles around one of our delivery partners from Meerut earning ₹300 for working more than 6 hours on the day of Diwali were inaccurate and disturbing to us. Our delivery partners are at the heart of our service and we make sure we offer them with great earning opportunities to appreciate their hard-work and dedication, especially during festivals. Here are the facts - 1. The said delivery partner worked for 6hrs on 30th Oct (he did not login on the day of Diwali, as mentioned in the news articles) 2. He delivered 10 orders and cumulatively earned ₹695 3. On the same day, a lot of delivery partners who devoted an average 10 hours in Meerut, cumulatively earned in the range of ₹1200 - ₹1300 Misreported figures and narratives can impact livelihood, motivation, and dignity of individuals working in these roles. We request everyone to avoid spreading misinformation.

✨ Like every other ad agency, we ran into that classic #Diwali dilemma – so focused on creating festive posts for our clients that we almost forgot our own! But, in true #BrandStrategist style, we turned a last-minute opportunity into a memorable moment. With the agency decked out for our Diwali party, we snapped a few impromptu shots, and voilà – a festive reel was born! Creating content on the spot and making it look great is just part of the job. Well, it's certainly easy to say but when it comes down to it, being a strategist means mastering the art of turning limited footage (or sometimes, very limited footage) into something engaging and impactful. Thankfully I had Riddhi Khode who understood the ideation and added the extra entertainment value to the reel with her great editing skills! Also, Thank you, #Instagram, for being the platform that lets us storytellers make the most out of every moment, even on a tight timeline! Here’s to creativity, adaptability, and the unique thrill of working with what you have. 🌟 #HappyDiwali #ContentCreation #LifeOfABrandStrategist #AdaptAndCreate Click on the link below to watch the reel: https://lnkd.in/dq_XshNv

𝐃𝐢𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐢 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥! Who else can relate to this feeling? After all the festive joy – the lights, the sweets, the decorations, the gifts, and the warmth of reconnecting with family and friends – getting back to the regular routine feels challenging. Even posting on LinkedIn took a little extra push today! But when I finally sat down to write, my first thought was, naturally, #Diwali 😊 One part of Diwali that I especially love is the brand advertisements. Certain campaigns manage to capture the spirit of the festival beautifully, and some stand the test of time. A few favorites that still stick with me are: 1.     Cadbury's Campaigns – Promoting local businesses with technology. These ads still make an impression. Check them out: https://lnkd.in/gsSFYXWq https://lnkd.in/gUQzHEzx 2.     HP's "Diye Se Diya Jalao" – and the heartwarming “Amma Ki Diwali Happy Banao.” https://lnkd.in/gFgtZiuG https://lnkd.in/g7F_Hi9t 3.     Google's Cross-Border Reunion – An emotional reunion that tugs at the heartstrings. Watch it here https://lnkd.in/gVUG7fer Though I didn’t follow all the Diwali ads this year, a few campaigns still caught my eye: ·       One plus India https://lnkd.in/gZFj8wS2 ·       Vivo https://lnkd.in/gA4KrpZm What Diwali ad stood out to you this year? Share your favorites (and the link!) in the comments. Looking forward to seeing what resonated with you.

Various factors depend on why your recent post didn’t work as you thought. (Diwali week is here so take this as a social media reminder) - Maybe it was a holiday - Maybe it was a different trend that was buzzing - Maybe some of your followers just missed reacting to your post - Maybe your post didn’t directly focus on your target user (here you add lil changes to copy/design/hook/CTA & reuse in future weeks). It's a once-in-a-year festival. Most of the points are interconnected to Diwali. What do you think? What are some other factors that affect your post reach?
