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 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 asked the nation to share their own love story. With the hashtag #LoveYourStory people could share their love stories with the world - aww!

 

3. O2

In 2013, O2 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. 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 created the 'Invisible Vending Machine' in 2014 that would only #ShareACoke 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)...

Valentine's Day is of course a day for love, romance and happiness so we wish you all a happy Valentine's weekend! If you spot any marketing campaigns over the weekend that you love (or hate) tweet us them at @ThriveHQ!
