I believe that this November has been the pinnacle of digital advertising in 2016, and as thought leaders in this industry, it is our duty to cover some pretty major campaigns leading up to this month: the presidential election, Black Friday, and, of course, Gilmore Girls (no spoilers).<\/p>\n<p>First order of business: the obligatory discussion about the political campaigns. Just kidding. Here are some of the cool #Election2016 Snapchat filters instead. You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n<p>And how about those petty Biden-Obama memes? Can\u2019t stop, won\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n<p>Next, Black Friday. I\u2019ve chosen to discuss my favorite, because once again, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rei\/?hl=en\">REI<\/a> is blowing me away with their bold and beautiful #OptOutside campaign. Lots of companies have traditionally closed on Thanksgiving because they value family, which is admirable, but I must tip my hat to REI for being so true to their outdoor brand.<\/p>\n<p>It still amazes me that the one time of the year when retail stores are finally &#8220;in the black\u201d on their sales charts, this brand forgoes the chaos and revenue, closes its doors, pays its employees and spends money on marketing that sends people to the outdoors. The campaign has been a huge success.\u00a0The hashtag appeared more than <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.sysomos.com\/2015\/11\/30\/the-jury-is-in-optoutside-was-a-huge-success\/\">37,000 times<\/a> of the last six days, with the majority of mentions coming from Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Also, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BM4fHxSg7jf\/\">dogs<\/a>. This year, REI partnered with a whole <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rei.com\/news\/optoutside-will-you-go-out-with-us\/\">bunch of organizations<\/a> to push this message even harder\u2014including one of my other favorite brands: Subaru. Together, they invited \u201cpet lovers everywhere to #OptOutside with their four-legged friends on Black Friday.\u201d They even helped out shelter dogs in New York. Love.\u00a0I hope they expand this to Oklahoma next year.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, <em>GILMORE GIRLS<\/em>. Let\u2019s review the incredibly successful ramp up for this revival series that has Gilmore fans, old and new, raving:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Details about the revival were slowly released over the past year, which included on-set photos, mild spoilers, returning cast members (Remember when we weren\u2019t sure if Melissa McCarthy would make an appearance as Sookie?), etcetera.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/elitedaily.com\/entertainment\/gilmore-girls-awkward-posters\/1662377\/\">Everyone<\/a> was making fun of Alexis Bledel in the seasonal posters, because it seems that the Yale graduate doesn\u2019t know how to hold everyday objects.<\/li>\n<li>Freestyle already covered the 200 local coffee shops across the country that transformed into Luke\u2019s Diner in a previous blog post.<\/li>\n<li>I was heartbroken the day I learned about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gilmoregirlsfanfest.com\/\">Gilmore Girls Fan Festival<\/a> that was already sold out.<\/li>\n<li>Netflix even created an <a href=\"https:\/\/townofstarshollow.org\/\">official website<\/a> for the town of Stars Hollow.\u00a0WHAT.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Engagement marketing at its finest. That is as flawless as it gets, folks.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, this has been an exciting month in the life of a marketing professional. Thank you for letting me obsess about it.
