Love how Amazon turned Great into the central creative hook.
The connection between Great Khali and Great Indian Festival feels natural and catchy.
Great Khali bringing the GREAT factor to Amazons festive campaign
Amazon made the festive campaign feel fun instead of just another sale promotion.

Simple idea, strong execution, and a very memorable campaign.

Show each product in use, one by one, ending on the price or the sale date.#2 #4 #5
Hands-and-kitchen demos on Instagram, mostly under a minute, shown as a short list of 3 to 5 items.#1 #2 #4
