This campaign can be considered a classic already, but it keeps getting stronger every year. Through the Santa Tracker, Google was able to advertise its map service in an entertaining and interactive way. The company also shared the code and other elements of the tracker for public use. This inspires other businesses to develop a similar tool they can use to market their brand.

Instead of directly marketing its products, popular e-commerce site, Etsy, provides its users with good service by launching holiday gift guides. These help customers find the best holiday gifts to buy – a strategy that improves customer journey and drives sales. You can customize this campaign based on your business’ goals and target market. Consider creating your own holiday gift ideas campaign and publish it on your blog or social media.

H&M’s Come Together video became a hit not only because it was directed by Wes Anderson and featured Adrien Brody.
