Kevin isn't a character at a time. A Christmas Carrot is also not a single ad promoting Aldi over Christmas or the company's donation of 1.8 million meals to Neighborly, a partnership Marcus, who openly campaigns to make sure no child goes hungry wholeheartedly support . (As a child, his family depended on the local food bank for their Christmas dinner.)
Kevin the Carrot also leads the brand's holiday-related content adventures on Facebook, Twitter , Instagram and Aldi UK Christmas Page .
Aldi's powerful holiday website goes beyond product-related features to provide detailed instructions for homemade decorations and gifts, along with recipes and tips for seasonal favorites.
HOT NEXT: Aldi UK knows how to combine content into one festive and useful content package. Many companies create holiday ads; some Donate to charities during the holiday period; and others use celebrities and athletes to market their products. But Aldi puts it all together to get the most value out of every last piece of content. Whoever decided to let Kevin the Carrot be a returning character was also a smart person. The character feels familiar to audiences – he's been the star of Aldi's holiday stories for several years. He's also a unified presence across content types, platforms, and channels. And Marcus' presence as Radishford is an interesting twist with an authentic message for both the sports star and the brand.

TikTok and social media marketing help Abercrombie & Fitch avoid being wiped out
in recent times Article in Teen Vogue , Abercrombie & Fitch explains how it turned to social media marketing to help it molt its early 2000s of “avid surfers”. This fashion brand has shined thanks to TikTok to earn the credibility of Gen Z.
The company ran sponsored ads and partner's post on the platform. But user-generated content made all the difference. Posting their own content with #AmbercrombieHaul and #AbercrombieStyle, Gen Zers helped the brand's style go viral.
Example: Teen Vogue points out TikTok about hoodies without the brand's logo , posted by Andy Lobos, has earned over 1 million views. When a product goes viral on TikTok, it usually sells out on the Abercrombie site.

Carey Collins Krug, senior vice president and head of marketing for Abercrombie Brands, told Teen Vogue: “We see reviews and our products. We take note of how people describe quality and fit. There is an innate authenticity for TikTok and the entire community for allowing us to anthropomorphize Abercrombie. ”
HOT NEXT: Abercrombie doesn't have much TikTok followers (less than 12,000) or a lot of TikTok videos (and the ones they have aren't great). But the brand's success on the platform shows that user-generated content can do more than an internal marketing machine (or social accounts.) Instead of jumping in New platform for your company and using all of the internal content, think first about how to truly connect – and become a trusted brand – with your target audience. You may find it better to look outside than indoors.
