November 13th is observed as World Kindness Day, a day dedicated to celebrating and promoting good deeds and goodwill. While the movement encourages simple, everyday acts of compassion, brands across the globe have increasingly embraced this philosophy, weaving messages of kindness and human connection directly into their advertising.
This strategic choice goes beyond simple philanthropy; it recognises that consumers value brands that share their humanistic values. Over the years, this has led to powerful, emotional video campaigns that resonate deeply and often go viral, showing that a sincere message can be the most effective marketing tool.
One of the examples is Thai Life Insurance’s ‘Unsung Hero’ ad. This short film follows an ordinary man who performs selfless acts, watering a withered plant, feeding a stray dog, giving money to a child begging for education, without seeking reward. The message, revealed only at the end, is that the true value of life is found in what you give, not what you get.
Similarly, Coca-Cola uses kindness as a unifying theme in their ‘Toast to Kindness' campaign, where it contradictory to the Thai ad showcases how kindness comes back to you in a way you never expect. It encourages people to raise a glass to those who spread positivity
Another ad by Facebook shows Pooja, who selflessly hires workers laid off during the COVID-19 pandemic, despite her business struggling. Her employees' gratitude later inspires a community effort that saves her shop, proving that kindness pays back.
