ANGLO-AMERICAN TRADITION WITH GLOBAL ADVERTISING REACH OR HALLOWEEN IS ROUND THE CORNER

31. 10. 2023 | 13 min read Preparations for Halloween are at their peak. And not just in the United States where this holiday is at home. Before trick-or-treaters hit the streets, the spooky season is making its presence known in the marketing world. Every year, companies race to see who can come up with the most original campaign. Halloween has been a traditional marketing domain for years, which makes it more and more difficult for brands every year. It is therefore appropriate to recall what has already been here in the past and worked well enough to build on. While you probably won’t shudder at most of these commercials, you would certainly be shaken by the sheer amount of brilliant creativity associated with this holiday! General Mills‘ Monster Cereals (1971-1987) Halloween is an essential part of American pop culture. In our country, it is more of an adopted tradition related to the marketing of specific brands and in this context, to the advancing globalisation. In the USA we encounter a number of icons that are quite closely linked to this spooky holiday, and it is therefore not surprising that they have appeared repeatedly in TV commercials since time immemorial. Monster Cereals are breakfast cereals that are not normally sold anymore. But they always appear on store shelves during the Halloween season, and for good reason. There are several lines, and each has its own mascot. These are animated parodies of well-known horror characters. For example, Count Chocula can be none other than the eponymous Count Dracula, while the stitched-together giant Franken-Berry is a fruity paraphrase of the famous monster Dr. Frankenstein. The Boo-Berry monster reminds many of Casper the ghost or any other inhabitants of the ectoplasmic world. In short, there are a whole host of them and for many decades Monster Cereals have been intrinsically linked to Halloween celebrations. And since there have been many more of them over the years, you can still count on cereals with Count Chocula, Franken-Berry or Boo-Berry to be reliably sold out on the eve of the Day of the Dead.
