Whatโs in this article:
- The idea of connecting with customers in the spirit of joy is the idea behind 7-Elevenโs new campaign
- The videos are not just about grabbing a convenient snack anymore but making it part of something fun and exciting
Why Settle for Ten When You Can Get Eleven? Thatโs the premise of the new Seven Eleven advertising campaign. It celebrates dialing things up beyond the normal cap set by a scale of one to ten.
Whatโs behind the biggest campaign from the brand to date? The idea of connecting with customers in the spirit of joy.
The new campaign isย described in CStoreDecisions as โfull of youthful energy and zeal โ all against the backdrop of a 7-Eleven parking lot โ a stage where everyone, every subculture, is welcome to be themselves.โ

The campaign is not meant to boost a business that has been suffering during the pandemic. On the contrary, as Marissa Jarratt, chief marketing officer at 7-Eleven,ย confirmed when speaking to the Wall Street Journal ย that the storesโ revenue grew last year because purchase amounts per visitor increased.
But all convenience stores enjoyed that bump, and convenience alone is not enough to win over brand loyalty. โConvenience is no longer our competitive advantage,โ Jarratt observed.
So, the commercials are about associating the brand with joyful experiences. Itโs not just about grabbing a convenient and cheap cup of coffee but making it part of something fun and exciting.
As we saw in Donโt Make Ads: Make Engaging Entertainment, joyful positivity always infuses impact into marketing. Thatโs what 7-Eleven is aiming for with its new campaign.
