  • When an unhinged approach to marketing is baked into a brand's DNA, consistency builds a connection with its audiences. Consumers know what they're getting and it's usually something unexpected.

The article from Ad Age titled "Unhinged Marketing: How Brands Can Get Weird With Their Advertising" discusses the trend of brands adopting unconventional and quirky advertising strategies to stand out in a crowded marketplace. It highlights how companies like Duolingo, with its eccentric mascot Duo, and Ryanair, with its humorous social media presence, have successfully engaged audiences by embracing absurdity and humor. The piece argues that in an era where consumers are bombarded with ads, brands that dare to be different, even to the point of being "unhinged," can capture attention, foster brand loyalty, and create memorable experiences.
