<br>2)  The Santa Brand Book
"Santa  is  a  Concept, not an  idea. 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.
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.
<br>3) Apple Holiday Commercial</b>
Oh,  Apple — how you've done  it again. Say what you will about the tech  
giant, but hot damn, do they  know how  to churn out one wonderful ad after 
another.
The  streak stays alive  with this touching  spot that,  once again, shows the 
company's a step ahead of  the competition when it comes to showing the 
usefulness of its products and adding  in  that  human element that  draws 
people in.
(The use  of Cat  Power's  rendition of "Have Yourself  a Merry Little 
Christmas"  certainly bolsters that personal touch Apple is so well-known for 
adding  to its  commercials.)
<br>4) Coke Zero  Sweater  Generator</b>
Interactive sites  are becoming more  popular  each and every day, and thus, 
it's no  surprise that  some well-known brands are  jumping on  board with the 
marketing  concept. Take Coca-Cola for instance.
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.
<br>5)  Netflix  "Fireplace for  Your Home" Trailer
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.
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. Want 
proof? Look no further  than the fake trailer  below.<br>
<br>6) Topshop Pinterest Contest
Conducting a social media contest is a premier way to draw visitors to your 
accounts on Facebook and  Pinterest. One company that seems to have  hit the 
mark  with its own contest is the clothing retailer Topshop.
With a contest  like the  one the company  created around its #DearTopshop 
hashtag, in which  users can win various  prizes by pinning Topshop  items to 
their boards, brands can secure  not  only hefty amounts  of traffic to  their 
social sites, but  also garner loyal followers and  even  customers.<br>
<br>7) John  Lewis  Christmas Advertisement
Another sentimental promo in  the vein of Apple's aforementioned  ad comes from 
John Lewis and harkens  back  to the  days  of  the old-school, animated 
Christmas specials (A  Charlie Brown Christmas, The Velveteen Rabbit,  etc.).
The retailer certainly worked some  magic with this spot,  which  has  
generated some  considerable (and  warranted) buzz. 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>
<br>8) Uncommon Goods
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).
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.
