What Oreo's New Campaign Teaches Our Denver Branding Agency

Unscrewing an Oreo to get to the creme center is a small joy that most of us remember from childhood. For decades, Oreo has mastered the art of turning a simple snack into a cultural tradition. When the brand launched its "Twist, Lick, Vote" campaign, it invited everyone to actively participate in the brand. By looking at this campaign through the lens of a Denver branding agency, we can see how active community participation, shared experience, and digital connection combine to build a lasting brand that goes beyond selling snacks.

Uber Eats’ “Who Could Cook at a Time Like This?” Campaign: Insights From a Creative Agency in Denver

Great advertising does more than promote a product. It connects with people in a way that feels relevant, timely, and memorable. Uber Eats accomplished exactly that with its “Who Can Cook at a Time Like This?” campaign featuring celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay during the FIFA World Cup. For any creative agency in Denver, the campaign offers valuable lessons in how humor, timing, and audience understanding can turn a simple service into a cultural conversation.

What Skittles’ Campaign Says About Brand Personality

When people think about Skittles, they think of bright colors and bold sensory appeal — “Taste the Rainbow”. But where many candy brands lean on straightforward product messaging, Skittles has built its reputation on surreal storytelling and unexpected humor that pushes far beyond traditional advertising norms. The brand’s latest “Uncomfortably Soft” gummies campaign continues that approach, turning a simple product claim into an exaggerated and memorable creative concept. For any creative marketing agency in Denver, this is an important reminder that brand personality is often more powerful than product features and overly positive platitudes.

In 2021, there were many moments that stuck out -- and even made history. As the year wraps up, it’s time to reflect on what impacted us the most. From the knee slappers to the tearjerkers, we are taking a look at a few of the most notable marketing campaigns of 2021. As a top Denver marketing agency, we’re going to dive into the innovative techniques marketers are using today to create compelling campaigns that not only draw in new customers but spark important conversations too.

This famous beer brand’s latest advertisement is all about the importance of getting vaccinated (and being able to safely enjoy a beer with family and friends again soon). Samuel Adams’ “Your Cousin From Boston Gets Vaccinated” ad features a character who isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. But even he made an appointment to get vaccinated against COVID-19. As a Denver ad firm, we’re always on the search for timely and meaningful ads, and this was one of our absolute favorites from the month of April. 

“Tell us your marketing department is young and on TikTok without telling us your marketing department is young and on TikTok.” That’s a top comment on Coors’ latest commercial: America Has a New Thirst Trap, a 15-second ad promoting their new line of hard seltzer beverages. As a Denver marketing agency, we’re always on the search for emerging and innovative ads that are especially effective in reaching their target audience. And this ad brilliantly achieves exactly that. 

On Super Bowl Sunday, the commercials matter almost as much as the game (if not more). And this year, despite all the craziness of COVID-19, they delivered. Though there were some big-name brands that didn't partake—such as Budwiser, who chose to donate the millions of dollars it would've spent on an ad to raising awareness about COVID-19 vaccines—many others still participated. This year, CBS charged approximately $5.5 million for a 30-second spot. That price tag was slightly less than previous years, but still a significant amount of money for any brand. As a top marketing company in Denver, we're breaking down five of our favorite Super Bowl ads from this year’s game. 

Girls and women from every corner of the world watched on January 20th as Kamala Harris, the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, was sworn in as the first female Vice President of the United States. This historic milestone—and what it meant to young girls—was captured in a simple, but poignant film for Girl Up, a gender equality youth initiative of the UNF (United Nations Foundation). This short, purpose-driven advertisement titled “Today We Rise” was created in partnership with Ogilvy and Refinery29. And as a top marketing agency in Denver, we wanted to comment on what made this ad so impactful and special.

Robert Kelly went from world-renowned political pundit to internet sensation overnight in 2017 when his live interview on BBC News was charmingly interrupted by his young children. Long before the days of constant Zoom meetings and work-from-home orders, this type of interruption seemed almost novel. Thanks to the pandemic, they are now fairly commonplace. In Twitter’s most recent ad, Robert Kelly is back to show you how to stay focused and avoid distractions. And as a social media agency in Denver, we’re always on the lookout for engaging ads—especially with pop culture references—so we’re here to share our thoughts on this witty advertisement.

As the presidential race enters the final few weeks, we’ve all seen plenty of political ads. However, a new political ad in support of presidential-hopeful Joe Biden has caught everyone’s attention because it’s unlike any we’ve ever seen before. The ad centers on the fact that Donald Trump is the first U.S. president in more than 100 years who doesn’t have a dog. With the tagline, “choose your humans wisely,” the ad appeals to people across party lines through a beloved human interest: dogs. And it’s incredibly effective. Here’s why, according to a top Denver marketing firm.
