2023 has witnessed many changes in the advertising realm. Some new innovations mushroomed while other traditional mediums resurfaced. Monument marketing and CGI campaigns were two such mediums that flourished in the A&M landscape.
When we think of monument marketing, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa stands out the most. Previously, many national as well as international brands have leveraged the iconic monument as a backdrop to market their products and garnered massive reach. This year, many Indian and global brands saw the potential of other iconic monuments and banked on the power of CGI to deliver their messages.
The most memorable one out of the lot remains Barbie’s larger-than-life-sized OOH ad at Burj Khalifa. Some brands in India used the Gateway of India as a backdrop to reveal their new brand logos while some used it to create awareness around social issues.
Globally, Burj Khalifa, Big Ben, and the Statue of Liberty became the go-to place where brand occupied their spots (some virtually; some IRL). Back home, the Taj Mahal, Bandra Worli sea link, and other iconic spots made it to the brand’s wishlist.
