The power of quirk advertisments and how they steal the spotlight

In the realm of advertising, quirkiness is often extolled as a virtue for crafting the most memorable and well-remembered ads. Campaigns such as the Fevicol ads of the 1990s, and the Bingo, Happy Dent, and Vodafone ads of the 2000s, are all lauded for their quirky creativeness. These ads are believed to be engaging, eliciting positive emotional responses and burnishing the brand image. Additionally, quirky ads are thought to possess the potential for virality, a concept highly sought after by advertisers and marketers in the digital age.
