What’s the last marketing video you remember watching and what made it memorable?
The last marketing video I remember watching was a campaign from Nike featuring athletes overcoming personal and physical adversity.
What made it memorable was its powerful emotional storytelling, cinematic visuals, and subtle product placement. The video didn’t just advertise shoes—it told a story of resilience, identity, and purpose. It struck a chord because it focused on the why behind the brand, not just the product itself.
Yes, the video-inspired action made me visit Nike’s website, explore their community initiatives, and even share the video with a friend. It reminded me that marketing works best when it connects to deeper human values and encourages people to be part of something bigger than themselves.

I saw a video on YouTube from Man Flow Yoga. It stressed the importance of yoga for our health, how it can build strength, mobility, and flexibility. That was a video that I practiced myself as well, just by watching, and I felt the benefit.
Although I had seen two other ones from the same YouTube channel, that video, the other two, and practicing myself for two or three sessions made me understand why yoga does matter, and should not be neglected.
The video had clear step-by-step explanations, easy-to-understand and follow those yoga poses, it had positive encouragement, and it made me feel empowered. By the end of the session, I felt the result as I sweated, gained more strength, rather than feeling clumsy, doing no physical activity.

I loved the video of the Adidas Headquarters titled "What's In The Back?". This video uniquely highlights Adidas' legacy by showcasing the sneaker series and exploring what sneakers are stored behind the scenes at your favorite sneaker sites. It also educates the audience about the craftsmanship and quality of Adidas.
The video offers an exclusive tour of the Adidas archive in Germany, revealing a hidden room that houses 100 years of the company’s most iconic artifacts. This archive tells the rich history of one of the world’s leading brands, a legacy that includes iconic athletes like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Stan Smith, and Lionel Messi, as well as creative geniuses like Pharrell Williams and Jeremy Scott. The archive is a living history that is constantly updated with new artifacts that mark the Three Stripes legacy.

The video that impressed me was Wonyoung’s beer commercial. I liked it because of its natural acting, its humor and absurdity — it seemed mindless at first, but it wasn’t. What made it interesting was how it delivered a meaningful message while still seamlessly incorporating the product throughout the entire video.
The video didn’t make me want to buy beer — I’m not interested in beer — but I think if someone like me, who has no demand for it, was drawn in, then people who actually are interested in beer would be even more attracted to it. I believe it’s because of the message it delivers. The message is very natural and simple, but it’s communicated in a cute and humorous way.

The video marketing that stood out for me was a video of crowning a king and the crown couldn't be detached from the King's Head because it was glued with a top gum.

The last memorable marketing video I remember watching was Google's "Hey Mom" ad. The ad features children and teens calling for their mom whenever they need help with something. It also shows overwhelmed, tired moms being called constantly. The last scene of the ad features a frazzled mom sitting down and using her Google Home device to call her mother and ask for help. This ad resonates with me because it makes the product personal and appealing to a specific audience and tells a story, not just selling a product. It is heartfelt and emotional, which viewers are more likely to remember than information trying to make them purchase something.

I saw a video of a company on linkedin featuring shopping local as their message, which is a value of mine. It showcased different products and services and the benefits it brings. I also noticed the use of emotional leverage such as doing good in the city. It featured a women walking behind the camera joyfully as a way of inviting viewer into the personal aspect of supporting a company, not only featuring the service and product itself, yet the brand and personality of the company. Video attracted, engaged and delighted.

The last marketing video I remember watching was a Nike ad featuring a motivational story about overcoming obstacles in sports. What made it memorable was the powerful storytelling combined with inspiring visuals and a strong emotional soundtrack. The way the video connected personal struggles with athletic determination really grabbed my attention and made it feel authentic.
Yes, the video did encourage me to take action—I felt motivated to push myself harder in my own workouts and even checked out some of Nike’s latest running gear afterward. It wasn’t a direct sales pitch but more about inspiring the mindset, which made me want to engage with the brand more.

One of the last marketing videos I watched that really stood out was the “Apple – Don’t Blink” launch video. it was one of the impressive marketing video i've seen recently. They showcased their new product line in a fast-paced, high-energy format, and what made it memorable for me was not just the sleek visuals or transitions, but what impressed me was that how Apple used timing, typography, color combinations and rhythm to reflect its brand personality — minimalist yet that gave a premium touch and luxurious look!

The last marketing video I remember watching was a Nike ad featuring a military veteran training in harsh conditions, blending intense workouts with moments of personal struggle and triumph. What made it memorable was the raw emotion, the powerful storytelling, and the way it connected the product (Nike gear) to real grit and resilience not just flashy visuals.
Yes, the video definitely inspired me to take action. It made me want to check out their new tactical-style running shoes because it felt like they were made for someone who pushes limits and faces challenges head-on exactly the vibe I want.
For me, an engaging marketing video is all about authenticity, emotion, and showing the real human story behind the product. It’s less about selling and more about connecting.
