Easter eggs in digital marketing???
If you are wondering what on earth Easter eggs have to do with digital marketing, read on. After all, it is an interesting marketing technique that can enrich your marketing strategy!
Do you find the easter eggs hidden in this article?
What is a digital Easter egg or "easter egg"???
An easter egg is nothing more than a hidden message, joke, feature or surprise deliberately added in software, films, video games, etc. The concept originally comes from the world of software development, where programmers sometimes added secret functions or messages in programmes. They are meant to be a fun addition for the user.
Google's developers have hidden some fun easter eggs about the popular search engine:
- Search for "do a barrel roll“ and let the magic happen ✨
- Search for "askew“ and the search results will be displayed slightly tilted.
- Fancy a card game? Search for "Solitaire“ or "Patience", et voilà .
- If you search for "Loch Ness" will turn the puppet into a monster 🦕
Movies
- In the Pixar film "Finding Nemo" finds the Luxo Jr. lamp, a Pixar icon, as a toy in the dentist's waiting room. Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story is also featured in this scene.
- Steven Spielberg, the director of Indiana Jones, is good friends with Star Wars creator George Lucas. In "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Indy finds a golden artefact and the observant viewer will see the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 engraved in it. A subtle reference by Spielberg to his good friend's work.
What is it good for???
- Easter eggs can increase your brand awareness and user engagement, creating a positive brand experience. This is how you build meaningful relationships between your brand and your target audience.
- Easter eggs can grab the user's attention and ensure that more attention is given to the message.
- As a brand, you can stand out from the rest by using easter eggs. You offer a memorable experience that builds a positive brand reputation with consumers.
- Hiding easter eggs is a form of "gamification", a widely used marketing technique to increase user engagement, encourage behaviour and achieve goals.

Our old website was given a complete makeover. Online ordering was made possible with customisation, a clear layout was proposed with plenty of space for photos and texts. I am very proud of the end result. But also very satisfied with the service and way of working.
