Yes: disruptive marketing matters. Why? Consider this…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the year of 2016 in Toronto, Canada, it was a very special New Years Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t for a particularly joyous reason. No, instead, one of the city\u2019s iconic department stores, Honest Ed\u2019s<\/a>, was closing down for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honest Ed\u2019s was a cultural landmark. The enormous department store was home to many discounted goods, knick-knacks, baggy clothes, and their iconic, loud signs<\/a>. Even after the store closed, the signs went up for sale<\/a> \u2014 becoming local treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why were these hand-made signs so popular? Because they were disruptive. There\u2019s something about the blaring red, blue and yellow signs that call for attention, and the clever messaging that makes them stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHONEST ED HAS NO TACT. BUT HIS PRICES ARE NAILED DOWN!\u201d Does it get any better than this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>It\u2019s important to be disruptive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s one thing we can learn from Honest Ed\u2019s, it\u2019s to be disruptive. The style of messaging, the aesthetic, the tone \u2014 it all worked together to create successful, disruptive marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to be disruptive \u2014 whether through something shocking, or something profoundly unique \u2014 because there\u2019s just so much competition for attention. People are struggling with information overload and can\u2019t pay attention to everything that flies in front of their eyes each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this is where disruptive marketing comes in. Successful disruptive marketing manages to break that threshold of necessary excitement and surprise so that people pay attention, absorb your message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being disruptive with your marketing is somewhat of a difficult task. It requires tact and careful execution \u2014 it must be both familiar and outlandish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get a better picture of disruptive marketing, we can take a look at a recent TikTok video. It illustrates how a video series made in 2015 went viral in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started as a mistake. A person had seen a video<\/a> from the 2015 campaign to end U.S. hunger called Great Nations Eat<\/a>, depicting a German woman helping a child, and speaking (in German) about food insecurity in the U.S. This person really thought it was about Germany fundraising to help improve food security in the U.S. But in reality, it was an American-made video, and Great Nations Eat is an American initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video campaign posed as foreign countries helping the U.S. The videos were like any other charity video; footage of people experiencing poverty, someone helping a child, narration of poor circumstances, and a call to action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you take a look at the video linked above, you can see how the TikToker could mistake the video for something genuine. After all, it\u2019s really well made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when the TikToker expressed how shocked they were to find out that Germany was raising money to feed people in the U.S., it understandably spread and became viral, gaining 9 million views<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The disruptive marketing tactic was a hit 6 years after its creation. The way they took a swing at disruptive marketing, it was quite genius wasn\u2019t it? Few people would think there\u2019s food security issues in the U.S., and that\u2019s exactly where Great Nations Eat found their disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to be disruptive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this case, the disruptive marketing was shocking, but familiar. When it comes to fundraising and charity videos for children, the children hardly ever look American. This campaign flipped the script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of familiarity, the format of the video was very similar to what people are used to seeing, so it wasn\u2019t so outlandish as to not relate to the audience. And then there\u2019s the factor that people often overlook \u2014 the voice over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re attempting a disruptive marketing tactic, there has to be a strong anchor to ground the audience. Otherwise the disruption might seem like extraneous noise. A voice over makes for an excellent anchor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although in the video series the voice over is in a foreign language (either Mandarin or German), the power of the human voice conveys the emotion, message and tone of the topic. There are subtitles to go with the videos, but even without them, we can get a sense of what they\u2019re about from the visuals, and from the voice over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a way, you\u2019ll always want to be disruptive with your marketing. After all, nobody ever got anywhere meaningful by copying everyone else by the book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s a successful marketing tactic that\u2019s trending, great, hop onboard. But remember to add your unique twist, and disrupt the market!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember to always reinvent your disruptive tactic, because marketing is always being reinvented. Lest you end up like our old friend Honest Ed\u2019s.That\u2019s all for this time! We\u2019re wishing you the best as the year wraps up, and are wishing you a safe and happy holiday season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
