# 4 Marketing Campaigns to Fall in Love With This Valentine's Day

February 9, 2015

## Even the coldest of hearts couldn't be warmed by these clever marketing campaigns.

As Valentine's Day is just around the corner, we thought we would take a look at previous Valentine's Day-related Marketing Campaigns. So, here are four campaigns we love...

### 4 Valentine's Day Marketing Campaigns We Loved

#### 1. Innocent

On Valentine's Day 2012, Innocent made sure you could send something a lot better than a card. [Innocent](http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/) got their customers to create 'love labels' on which they could personalise the Innocent smoothie label for their special someone.

I guess nothing says 'be mine' better than a smoothie!

#### 2. Not On The High Street

Last Valentines Day (2014), [Not On The High Street](http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/) asked the nation to share their own love story. With the hashtag [#LoveYourStory](https://twitter.com/search?q=%40notonthehighst%20%23LoveYourStory&src=typd) people could share their love stories with the world - aww!

 

#### 3. O2

In 2013, [O2](http://www.o2.co.uk/) helped spread the love on Valentines Day with a Social Media campaign that encouraged users to Tweet their loving messages along with the hashtag [#O2TweetHeart](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23O2TweetHeart&src=typd). The family-friendly messages were shown on a screen in the O2 shops and there was £500 Malmaison Hotel gift voucher up for grabs along with 20 runner up prizes!

#### 4. Coca-Cola

If smoothies are not your thing, [Coca-Cola](http://www.coca-cola.co.uk/) created the 'Invisible Vending Machine' in 2014 that would only [#ShareACoke](https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ShareaCoke%20&src=typd) with couples on Valentine's Day! 

### One campaign that wasn't so warmly received...

These campaigns don't always come up smelling of roses. This tongue-in-cheek IKEA ad (2013) borders on the inappropriate (even if it did get a few giggles in the office)...
