Promotional Strategy
iPhone Ad Campaign
iPhone campaign that pleads to the brain rather than the heart,
while vaguely alluding to the inferiority of competing products.
Apple’s Latest Ad Campaign
Launched ‘World Gallery’ where all images
and video shot on iPhone 6 are housed
Why is the Campaign Great?
Simple, clean, compelling
little product demos
Campaign is for the
people, by the people
It makes no claims about
Apple
Apple celebrates the
creators it inspires
Apple Doesn't Target Markets. It Targets People
Demographics
• Targets people in the age group of 18-
35
• Youth population covering students
and young working professionals
Psychographics
• Brand Image
• Image Conscious
• Fashionable
• Tech-savvy
Influencers
• Family, friends and the peer group are
the main influencers
• Dealers do not play a significant role
in influencing the buyers
If not iPhone then?
