Exotica Mother’s day 2012, you call it a comeback?
Exotica Mother’s day 2012, you call it a comeback?
By admin I : Being online for almost 4 months, we only had the chance to review 3 exotica campaigns: Halloween – Christmas and Valentine’s, and lucky us, those campaigns were the worst in this brand’s all time record.
Exotica comes back this mother’s day with a new campaign, a return to human element integration, spontaneity and a concept that everyone identifies with. It’s every mother’s dilemma trying to evenly care and love her children; This year’s campaign plays it safe after the declining curve, in a successful attempt to show a creative approach.
It’s indeed an easy to sell / easy to buy approach, getting the brand back on track but lacking a surprise element (or is it us being too exposed) with a fun appealing visual treatment that could’ve easily lost the blunt human element presence and instead, gone for a more minimal look: 3 bouquets of different forms and sizes could’ve discretely hinted the 3 children without the spoon-fed 3 models visual, in a living room, with the youngest making puppy eyes (free cheese anyone?!)… A hint of exotica weddings comes to mind; The White upside-down flower symbolizing a bride, and that was exactly it!! no additives needed, no constructed approach… Brilliant!
Good job for this season, awaiting a real comeback to “ripple” on all the exotica campaigns.


I don’t really see it as a comeback… I agree that it’s better than all the latest ads. But still, for all people when u tell them what does Exotica mean to you, aside from nice expensive bouquets they would say great ads (even the people with no design background)
We usually look at the billboard and say: Oh! Now that’s creative/ that’s nice/that’s smart”… Exotica ads used to get to ‘regular’ people(no media knowledge)… And for me this one still didn’t. The idea behind it is pleasant; they could have done much better though. – at least this is how I see it !
Exactly, this is the main point of the post, the campaign is good, but not “Exotica” good.. Good day Jess!
I think we have accomplished permanent consensus … we always happen to agree! You have a good taste Admin I! hahaha
