Creative Advertising Campaigns
Main element of any advertisement campaign is its creativeness. If the same advertisement will be repeated over and over again, it will lose its charm and charisma of taking over the target audience. Today a product can be advertised on television, radio, internet, newspaper and in many other ways. But the main think to be kept in mind while advertising your product is that only creative advertisement can sell itself to customers and buyers. And not only this, creative advertisement campaigns are also good for spreading a social or public service message. Unless the message is written in some creative manner, nobody even glances at it.
This is the reason why creative directors and designers are always on a look out of new and improved ideas (for this they even sometimes campaigns and contests, to get the best ideas)...

Meet the Technologists that Helped win Obama the Election
The Obama campaign's technologists were tense and tired. It was game day and everything was going wrong.
Josh Thayer, the lead engineer of Narwhal, had just been informed that they'd lost another one of the services powering their software. That was bad: Narwhal was the code name for the data platform that underpinned the campaign and let it track voters and volunteers. If it broke, so would everything else.
They were talking with people at Amazon Web Services, but all they knew was that they had packet loss. Earlier that day, they lost their databases, their East Coast servers, and their memcache clusters. Thayer was ready to kill Nick Hatch, a DevOps engineer who was the official bearer of bad news. Another of their vendors, PalominoDB, was fixing databases, but needed to rebuild the replicas. It was going to take time, Hatch said. They didn't have time.
They'd been working 14-hour days, six or seven days a week, trying to reelect the president, and now everything had been broken at just the wrong time. It was like someone had written a Murphy's Law algorithm and deployed it at scale.

The 10 Greatest Marketing Campaigns of All Time
I’ve always been a little leery of proclaiming anything "the best." I never declared anyone my best friend as a kid because I was afraid my other friends might assume I thought less of them. So it was a little difficult for me to come up with just one "best" marketing campaign of all time -- which is why I came up with 10 instead.
Why are these 10 marketing campaigns the best of all time? Because of the impact they had on the growth of the brand, and because they manage to hit on some universal truth that allows us to remember these campaigns years after they first began. In fact, many of us (myself included) might not have even been alive when these campaigns first aired! So here they are, in no particular order (rest assured, you can nominate your favorites in the comments) -- the best marketing and advertising campaigns of all time, and the lessons we can learn from them!
