Humor is serious business.
It’s so serious that 7 of the top 10 USA Today spots from last year’s Super Bowl were funny. Some even crazy funny. Why would someone spend millions of dollars in media and production costs to make you laugh? Because humor works. Really well.
No laughing matter.
A study by the Journal of Marketing found, “Humorous advertising is more likely to secure audience attention, increase memorability, overcome sales resistance and enhance message persuasiveness.” Wow, that’s a lot of impressive marketing jargon. How about just – it’s funny, I remember it, I like your brand and will buy your product.
So, let’s be goofy, witty, childish, quirky and just a little silly. After all, haven’t we had enough ‘sadvertising?’
C’mon, who wants to laugh? Everyone.
