Burger King pulled off one of the smartest marketing plays ever and it only cost them a few thousand dollars.

They sponsored a small, unknown football club (Stevenage FC) just to get their logo into the FIFA video game.

Why? Because in FIFA, players can transfer stars like Ronaldo and Messi to any team even Stevenage.

Then Burger King launched a challenge: score goals with Stevenage in FIFA and win free food.
Suddenly, the world’s biggest names were wearing their logo on social media.

The result?
Massive viral exposure. Millions in brand value. And all from a team no one had heard of.

Genius marketing isn’t about big budgets it’s about thinking creatively.

Liquid Death didn’t just launch a smaller can.
They built an entire ad around a joke everyone instantly recognizes, without ever saying it out loud.

Every person in the ad says they prefer the smaller one.
The audience fills in the rest.

That’s the genius:
They let cultural context do the work, turned a taboo joke into humor, and made a simple size change feel unforgettable.

When people get the joke, they share the joke.

Lacoste did something no one expected:

they removed their iconic crocodile and replaced it with 10 endangered species and the number of polos made for each animal matched how many were left in the wild.

Each shirt became as rare as the species it represented.

Instead of creating another “awareness campaign,” Lacoste turned exclusivity into a message.
The fewer animals left, the fewer shirts made, making every polo feel like a statement, not merchandise.

It’s a masterclass in branding:

Use scarcity not just to sell a product, but to tell a story people can’t ignore.

DHL pulled off one of the smartest marketing stunts ever.

They cooled down packages with a heat-activated message that disappeared when cold and reappeared as the box warmed up during delivery.

Here’s the twist:

They had their competitors deliver these packages.

And once the boxes warmed up, the bold message appeared:

“DHL is faster than this."

Pepsi’s Super Bowl commercial used Coca-Cola’s polar bear in a blind taste test to promote Pepsi Zero.

Soon after, a fan-made Coca-Cola reply ad went viral. In the video, the bear wakes up from a nightmare and grabs a Coke, implying the Pepsi moment wasn’t real.
