It's an Emotion, not a feeling. It's both Yesterday and Today. It's Tomorrow as well." That's how this ingenious brand book from communications consulting firm Quietroom begins. And believe me when I say the rest of it is just as kooky and wonderfully facetious.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Case in point: Take a look below at this "brand house" that details the core components of Old Saint Nick's brand strategy. I ... I can't even.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><br>3) Apple Holiday Commercial</b><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Oh, Apple — how you've done it again.

Take Coca-Cola for instance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>With this Sweater Generator, it's clear the soda-maker certainly gets that holiday marketing doesn't need to focus on its product and should be warm, inviting, and personable.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><br>5) Netflix "Fireplace for Your Home" Trailer<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Think of where Netflix was just a couple years ago, when it announced its ill-fated plans for a second service called Qwikster (which led to substantial backlash and some poor PR). Today, though, it's a whole different story.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>In addition to awesome original programming (if you're not watching House of Cards, you should be), it's nailing every aspect of its marketing.

And once again, here's another promo using music to perfection — this time, it's Lily Allen with a lighter version of Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know." Well done, John Lewis marketers. Well done.<br><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><br>8) Uncommon Goods<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Though not as "sexy" as minute-long commercials, interactive sites, or social contests, good-ol' email marketing is still a more-than-viable option for marketers around the holidays. Uncommon Goods understood this, as evidenced by this appealing email below (which actually displays as an animated GIF in your inbox).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>It's not only clear and concise in its promotional copy, but the brand also effectively relays the benefits of shopping with the company with its "urgency" angle: 'We offer quick shipping, just in time for the 25th.' Plus, the animated GIF shows you when you can place your order to receive your gifts in time for Christmas.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div style=" margin: 0;padding:0;" ></div><div style=" margin: 0;padding:0;" ></div><span id="upihxcuxxaandswtmrjm" style="margin: 0; padding:0; " ></span><span id="qeletiyconlbnrvkzirmcch" style="margin: 0; padding:0; " ></span></span>
