The holidays is a time to give, whether that’s a gift to a loved one or to a charitable effort.
For agencies, in addition to being a nice gesture, a holiday card is another canvas to show off their wildest creative ideas to clients and the world. Many take their holiday ho ho hos to the next level.
ADWEEK has rounded up the most creative holiday cards we’ve received from agencies this year, which go beyond standard cardboard greetings with holiday cookbooks, original music, interactive games, and more.
If last year’s batch of holiday cards was all about AI, this year’s put the idea at the heart.
Enjoy this year’s roundup of the best agency holiday greetings.
Curiosity, “Questionable Taste”
Ohio-based independent agency Curiosity is cooking for Christmas. The agency released a hard copy cookbook with a simple twist: each recipe was designed by its employees. Some are good cooks, some get by. So you’ll get to try everything from “weird toast” and “2 a.m. mac and cheese” to “pesto almond-crusted salmon” and “homemade dog food.” Yum.
Murder Hornet, “Tis the Season for Murder”
Staying on brand, agency Murder Hornet has sent clients a cleaver for the holidays this year, to “murder” their holiday cheese boards. 30 of these sharp holiday mailers are being sent out to clients, prospects, and pitch consultants. The sleek black box, embossed with the phrase “Tis the Season for Murder” in vibrant orange, sets the tone for Murder Hornet’s cheeky creative humor.
