This advertisement, which embodies the bold ambition of changing the era beyond mere observation, has garnered significant attention since its release for its overwhelming visual aesthetics and message.

Kang Ha-neul shouts, "Only the quickest survive": The secret behind how Babitalk changed the landscape of plastic surgery apps

Image
Hello! I am a blogger who reads brand strategies and public psychology within the advertisements we usually pass by without noticing. Today, I would like to introduce an advertisement that truly deserves the title of "legendary." It is the "Only Those Who Talk Survive" campaign, presented by Babitalk, a platform providing information on plastic surgery and procedures, in collaboration with actor Kang Ha-neul. Usually, when thinking of plastic surgery app advertisements, it is easy to imagine beautiful and glamorous models showing off their results. However, Babitalk chose a completely different path.

BTS Jimin's LADOR Ad: The Real Reason "Wait's over" Sparked Searches

Having worked in advertising for decades, there is something I have definitely felt. Some advertisements explain the product, while others expand upon the ‘artist.’ The [LADOR | Jimin] Wait’s over – scent on. Discover the long lasting campaign I will discuss today is clearly closer to the latter. Just looking at the YouTube comments reveals the search intent clearly. People are searching not to find ‘hair product information,’ but to rewatch “that video featuring Jimin.” However, at the same time, actual purchasing needs—such as “What is the LADOR product?”, “What does it smell like?”, and “What product did Jimin use?”—are also driving this. The point where these two streams meet is precisely the key to this campaign’s success. --- ## Why Do People Search for “LADOR Jimin Ads”? If you look at the comments, there are words that appear almost universally. “gorgeous,” “elegant,” “aura,” “perfect ambassador,” “angel,” “hot in suit.” These are not the words used in product reviews. It is a ...

The video I will discuss today, "Tida Buteobowa | The Secret of Manager Sonkeuji's Hand! Find the QR!~," is a prime example of this change. If you look at the YouTube comments, almost everyone mentions one thing: "The Lucky Roulette Event!" The moment an advertisement is remembered for the event rather than the product, the planner smiles. The reason people search for "Find the QR!~": The Dopamine Strategy of the Tida Buteobowa Event ## The Real Reason People Search for "Tida Buteobowa QR" The search intentions of those who watched this ad fall into three main categories: First, **to find out how to participate in the Lucky Roulette** Second, **to rewatch the video because Lee Su-ji (Manager Sonkeuji)'s video was entertaining** Third, **to check the QR location and prize information** It is clear j...
