Dove Men+Care has been producing good video advertising for Father’s Day for years. The ads tend to focus on the “care” that dads provide their kids and are informal. In 2021, the brand added a new feature to its campaign: a website where people can create personalized video messages for their dads using clips from the ads. The website is easy to use and allows users to choose from different themes, such as “Thank you”, “I love you”, or “You’re awesome”. The result is a touching and customized video that can be shared with Dad on social media or email.
