Emotional Marketing

In most successful Thai commercials, the objective usually focuses on pulling the audience’s heartstrings instead of pushing a product feature.

For example, Vizer CCTV’s commercial which has more than 5.4 million views. The moral of the story: People are usually too quick to judge and often focused on looking at things in their own perspectives.

Important Life Lessons
