Best Ad of the Week

Volkswagen's "Think Small" Campaign

In 1959, Volkswagen launched the "Think Small" campaign to promote the Beetle in the United States. The print ad featured a minimalist design with a small image of the Beetle surrounded by ample white space, accompanied by the headline "Think Small." This approach was unconventional at a time when car advertisements typically showcased large, luxurious vehicles.

Why It’s Effective:

• Simplicity: The minimalist design drew attention by contrasting sharply with the busy ads of the era.

• Honesty: The campaign embraced the Beetle's small size as a unique selling point, turning a potential drawback into a distinctive advantage.

• Memorability: The straightforward message and design made the ad memorable, contributing to its lasting impact on advertising history.

Latest Trends and News

The Rise of “Micro-Communities”

Social media platforms are increasingly favoring engagement over reach, and micro-communities are taking center stage. Platforms like Facebook Groups, Discord servers, and private Instagram accounts are fostering tight-knit, niche communities. Brands are jumping in by creating spaces where fans can connect, share insights, and feel a deeper connection to the brand.

Trend Drivers:

• Algorithmic Shifts: Platforms prioritize meaningful interactions, which micro-communities provide.

• Authenticity: Users value genuine, two-way communication.

• Customer Loyalty: Micro-communities strengthen bonds, leading to repeat customers.

What You Can Do: Consider starting a private group around your brand’s niche or engaging deeply in existing communities where your audience gathers.

• Experiment by posting during these windows for a week.

• Track performance and adjust based on what works.

Consistency in timing builds familiarity and helps your followers know when to expect your content.
