HOW DID THE WAR IN UKRAINE REWRITE THE RULES OF MARKETING NOT ONLY ON TV SCREENS? SOLIDARITY AND HELPING OUR NEIGHBOURS ARE AT THE FOREFRONT

24. 3. 2022 | 12 min read The military conflict in Ukraine has struck the whole world like a bolt from the blue and has significantly affected the daily lives of hundreds of millions of people. Firms across nearly all business areas have responded to the crisis through both small gestures and great deeds. Let us take a closer look at some of them. Time to rethink Russia started its invasion of Ukraine early in the morning on 24 February 2022. The region became in the spotlight of the global media practically in the blink of an eye, starting a marathon of news coverage that has unfortunately not ended until now. American CNN is certainly no exception, which is logical given its position of a news giant.

THE LOVERS’ HOLIDAY IN THE THRALL OF COMMERCE AND CLICHÉS? THE TV ADS THAT CONVINCED US THAT ST. VALENTINE’S DAY IS NOT LOST YET

8. 2. 2022 | 13 min read It is a tradition that 14 February of each year is dedicated to those in love. On the day when we commemorate St. Valentine, we also try to pay tribute to love - ideally, not only in the context of partner relationships. A frequent objection against St. Valentine’s Day celebrations is the excessive commercialisation of the holiday and more or less consumer character it has had for several decades. Ironically, marketers are often the ones demonstrating that it does not have to be that way. How do they succeed in passing on the messages of love and hope within the narratives of TV advertising? Everywhere you look St. Valentine’s Day is not only a holiday of lovers but also a mega-important item that should not be missing in the schedule of any proficient marketer. On that day, consumers are ready and willing to spend their savings. We may even say that after Christmas, it is the first opportunity of such a calibre. And the current pandemic-affected time changes nothing on this fact.
