A nice example of this is the LowBatteryAnxiety by the electronics giant, LG. As we all know that the mobile device market is highly competitive, and every brand is required to show its proficiency and uniqueness. LG’s new video campaign tends to be unique and creative in a market dominated by Apple and Samsung, they had their target audience reached by the hilarious story they told in the video.  The low battery anxiety is not a fiction, as everybody can relate to it. There is an unpleasant feeling everyone gets when the battery percentage drops to a single unit, the panic mode and frustration is understandable. LG used a scenario everybody can relate to, to reach out to their targeted audience.

The exaggeration makes it all fun and paints a picture in the mind of the targeted user, they used the unpleasant experiences to make people understand how they can cope with the low battery anxiety. People learned and still had fun watching the video, which comes across as the best way to stay in the people’s  mind and make the brand the best thing that comes to their mind, when they are facing anxiety due to low battery.
