Best Ad of the Week

5 Days ago, Walmart unveiled its “Who knew?” campaign starring Walton Goggins. Set to The Who’s “Who Are You,” the 60-second spot highlights unexpected products—home saunas, bear spray and even dancing clogs—underscoring a catalogue of over half a billion items and one-hour Express Delivery. Launched across TV, digital, paid social and out-of-home placements, it built on Walmart’s January brand refresh, using a modernized look and sonic hook to reset consumer perceptions.

Key marketing lessons

• Align product depth with perception: showcasing surprising SKUs reminded shoppers of Walmart’s expanded capabilities.
• Cast a relatable guide: Walton Goggins’ humor and familiarity made the message memorable without feeling forced.
• Harness sonic branding: pairing the tagline with a well-known track reinforced recall and emotional impact.
• Orchestrate an omnichannel rollout: consistency across TV, online video, social and OOH amplified reach and cemented the refreshed identity.

Weekly Tip

Leverage Micro-Moments

Consumers decide in split seconds when they need quick answers or solutions. These “micro-moments” are your opportunity to deliver the right message at the right time, turning fleeting attention into engagement.

• Identify key micro-moments: “I want to know,” “I want to go,” “I want to do,” and “I want to buy”
• Craft concise, mobile-optimized content that directly addresses each moment’s intent
• Use contextual triggers—like location or recent searches—to make messages feel timely

Anticipating and addressing these real-time needs positions your brand as a helpful resource. When you meet your audience in their moment of intent, you build relevance and encourage action.
