5 Times Brands Made Us Laugh on Twitter
There's something about when brand's use their platform to get involved in a funny trend or spread some joy that we absolutely love, and by the response these tweets got - we aren't alone! In this article, we wanted to take some time out to review some of the tweets that have made us smile from the brands we love.
1. When brands remade the Drake album cover
On September 3rd 2021, internationally known music artist Drake released his 'Certified Lover Boy' album. The album cover art generated a lot of interest, and we saw a lot of brands get involved in making their own version of the popular cover graphics...

Releasing their take on the album art on September 2nd, Doritos didn't miss a beat in joining in on this multiple-platform trend and we loved their graphic which displayed their product range perfectly.
2. This genius marketing strategy by Innocent
Sometimes, it's best to get straight to the point in marketing right? What if the key to marketing campaigns that convert like crazy is simply to ask the consumer to buy the product?  The team at Innocent certainly decided it was worth a shot...
Our boss suggested that we might want to go on a marketing course soon, so we showed them this.
Probably gonna ask us to run the course now. pic.twitter.com/qJfiOoGqxA‚ innocent drinks (@innocent) September 8, 2021
We're big fans of the Innocent marketing strategy, and this isn't the first time they've used witty copywriting alongside brilliant graphics to create campaigns that get attention. Well done Innocent!
3. Burger King's subtle review requests
Building a strong set of reviews is a must for any business, and so maybe just like Innocent, the direct approach is best. Burger King politely requesting what is rightfully theirs in this tweet from May 25th 2021 had to make our shortlist of funny tweets...

What can we learn?
In this article, we've had a look at a lot of examples of brands using their platform to spread positivity by making people laugh. We think it's an amazing example of the importance of actually being sociable on our brand platforms, asking your audience how they feel and getting involved with social conversations happening that aren't directly to do with your product! We hope these tweets made you smile and have inspired you to try some new content formats that your audience will love. As always, if you need any help on the graphics, we're here to help.
