They were very specifically popular among all other ones and became social media, television, and even newspaper sensations.</p><p>They became famous because they were kept closely related to real-life situations and funny and comical scenes.</p><p>The graphics and motion team should’ve surely got a promotion because even after zoo- zoos just were a stick figure- more like a funny character with an egg-like belly, made it to the headlines and stayed there for as long as one can remember.</p><p>Making an inhuman figure personate a human, by giving it plain expressions and body moments like stopping, thumping, dancing, or being scared. The non-verbal expressions banged the role.</p><p>During the sports season, zoo-zoo ads were used during television ads as well to drive engagement and brand recall. These entertain well and engage like nothing else.</p><p>Vodafone is creating a customer-centric image and that will require it to focus on all aspects of marketing starting right from promotions, user engagement, and customer experience.</p><p>You saw how Vodafone Idea wisely used digital marketing with its popularity within the Indian audience.
