Father’s Day celebrates all the father figures in your life. And if you’re an advertiser, you don’t want to miss out on this almost $20 billion event to promote your products & services.

Not running Father’s Day ads yet? Get on it with the help of this short & sweet list. It’s the last few days so don’t lose this opportunity to scale your business.

Let’s get started. 

1.  McDonald’s

Does your dad have a sweet tooth?

McDonald’s is here to remind you that Father’s Day is around the corner, and they’ve got their delicious chocolate sundaes to satisfy your dessert-loving dad’s cravings!

2. Hasbro

When you need something fixed in your house, who’s the first person you call for help?

Your dad – and that’s exactly what his Hasbro ad signifies with “Daaaaaaad!” written in bold text next to a screwdriver. 

Moreover, it speaks to parents and kids alike! Great ad!

3. Coca-Cola

This Instagram ad caught our attention immediately. 

It may look like a simple picture with two Coca-Cola bottles portraying a father-son duo on top of the iconic red background but if you look closer, the label on the smaller bottle is bigger than the bottle. It’s a subtle hint at how your dad will always have your back.

Very cute & helps with brand recall. Guess we’ll be grabbing a couple of Cokes to celebrate the day with our dads.

4. Page One

The visuals in this ad are powerful with how the little fork (symbolizing the child), is holding the bigger fork (symbolizing the dad). 

It got us looking for restaurants immediately to treat our dads with a scrumptious dinner.

5. Mishrambu

Pinterest

‍

Mishrambu is a company based out of India that makes sweet almond-infused drinks and they’ve created an endearing ad that speaks to fathers and children alike. 

Since almonds are a big part of their drinks, it’s a big part of the ad as well. Using almonds, a mustache, a bowtie, and the drink itself, they’ve created a very dad-looking face, which is just so adorable it immediately catches the eye.

6. McDonald’s

‍

Is a list of the best ads ever complete without a McDonald’s ad? We don’t think so. Here’s another special one to share with your team. 

A clever use of the iconic McDonald’s theme song to only end with “dad” at the end – a fun promo that can stand out in an over-crowded Instagram news feed.

7. Volkwagen

Volkswagen ads are some of our favorites! And this one is another iconic poster.

The left side shows the new model of the ever-popular Beetle, asking about the 60s and the right side is the vintage Beetle. This combined with the marketing copy below “No matter how old you get, you still have a lot to learn from him.”, hits right in the feels. 

We’ll be sure to ask our dads about the time past – and so should you!
