Campaign of the Week:
The Worlds First Digital Taco
If you’ve ever angrily swiped through your emoji collection looking for a happy little cartoon taco, you know the feeling of frustration that comes with discovering that taco emojis haven’t been invented yet. Thank the heavens, then, that justWink, American Greetings’ unexpected and bold greeting card brand, just launched their very own Apple Watch app with the ability to send your friends digital tacos (they call it a taco Wink).
Why we like it:
Everybody likes emoji’s and tacos, but wheres the taco emoji? With Cinco de Mayo this week and the recent launch of the Apple watch, American Greetings have created an App filling the void of the taco emoji. A small native advertisement that can be sent right from your wrist! Very clever branding.
