People who say size doesn’t matter are just kidding themselves. Sure, they say it to be positive but, if it really didn’t matter, we’d all be sleeping in twin beds.

This does not mean, however, that bigger is always better. Far from it. Perhaps you are old enough to remember the first wave of mobile phones, which were so big they required a backpack and had an extendable antenna. It was like having a conversation while holding an iron skillet to your ear, and you still found yourself asking “Can you hear me now?”.

It’s easy to get caught up in the NFT boom-bust cycles. For a while, it felt like every company, influencer, and individual was talking about—and indeed diving head first into—this world. Then, the recent panics and busts dominated news cycles and it became popular to (incorrectly) declare the NFT craze short-lived and entirely dead.

As investors increasingly demand ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) assets, companies looking to help corporations meet their ESG goals must quickly find ways to break through the noise to deliver impactful messaging about their solutions.

Historically, luxury brands have not been the best at adopting new digital technologies. Recall that fashion houses famously dragged their stiletto heels during the e-commerce revolution, and that fashion bloggers had a notoriously difficult time gaining access to runway shows, dismissed as “new media”.

As it is in basketball, so goes it in marketing: game recognizes game.

At Lemonade, we love our jobs, we love marketing, and we are pretty great at it. We don’t trick ourselves into thinking we are the only good marketers on the court, however, and nothing delights us more than a really great marketing moment. Whatever the media, whatever the vertical, a marketing win is a marketing win and we love to celebrate along with our peers.

Today, and at the end of every month moving forward, we will be listing out five of our favorite marketing moments of the month. This month’s range from OOH and IRL to Web3 and social media, and they are all inspiring in their own way.

As IMAX’s social media agency, Lemonade designs and executes the entertainment giant’s social media strategy, promoting the latest releases and engaging fans about their favorite topics while maintaining the brand’s distinct voice.

At Lemonade, the man behind all this magic is social media coordinator Josh Diaz, who has been responsible for IMAX’s social media management for each and every release, movies ranging from Jurassic World Dominion and Dr. Strange 2 to Josh’s favorite recent hit, Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.

Brands already have a lot of social media platforms on their plate. Managing Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat and Facebook channels all require different strategies and styles, keeping social media managers busy day and night.

Yet, even with their plate already full, it is time to add Discord to their social media menu. 

The metaverse, much like the universe itself, continues to expand. And Decentraland remains its most prolific platform, with people, brands, and blockchains continuing to grow the already vast virtual reality environment.

Brands in particular are finding new and exciting forms of blockchain marketing within Decentraland, connecting directly to consumers while bridging the distance between the IRL things people already love and new forms of brand interactions and activations.
