Brands Are Using Poetry to Cut Through the Noise and Grab Viewers' Attention

On Super Bowl Sunday, Coca-Cola debuted a new spot in the fourth quarter featuring an inclusive message in the form of an original poem for the brand by poet and Wieden + Kennedy copywriter Becca Wadlinger. Earlier this month, Microsoft rolled out a 60-second ad featuring Academy Award winner Common reciting a poem about the power and possibility of artificial intelligence. In August, A+E Networks unveiled a new brand campaign using an interactive film about storytelling and America with a poem by National Poetry Slam champion IN-Q.
