The Olympic Games, Winter Olympics, soccer events such as the European Cup, World Cup, Asian Cup, tennis events and golf tournaments, etc. These large-scale sporting events last for a long time and generate various accidents in the course of the competition, so the hotspots come out frequently. Some local events are relatively more niche, but as a softwriter, you can't ignore the influence of these events, such as regional soccer tournaments, internal group competitions, and so on.

Negative hotspots Negative events emit negative energy, which is inconsistent with the positive energy theme that enterprises and brands need to publicize, and the platform that disseminates this information is likely to be branded with the "crime" of spreading negative energy. Negative events are very common in the current hotspot, but also have other types of attributes at the same time. Take the divorce of a celebrity as an example, many branded articles have explored the reasons behind the divorce and the possible impact of the divorce, while many emotional media outlets have seized on the hot topic to discuss how to deal with emotional issues between couples. But from the point of view of publicity, no matter which type of soft text, are not suitable for grafting to the corporate brand, touching the negative hotspot is likely to make the article stained with negative energy, bring negative impact, is not conducive to the establishment of a good corporate image.

The frenzy began with a line of copy for the new Mercedes-Benz Long Wheelbase E car - "Passing 5 hurdles and chopping off 6 generals, the new Mercedes-Benz Long Wheelbase E-Class, both civil and military". This copy seems to be ordinary, but in fact, it is an insinuation, pointing at the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6. At this time, BMW took the opportunity to promote its own brand, and used the story of the Three Kingdoms to write the copy: "Big E lost Jingzhou, lost E went to Mecheng, no BMW, no hero". BMW is a foreign brand, which translates to "BMW" in China, and a good horse in the Three Kingdoms period can even determine the victory or defeat of a war, so it is called a good horse "BMW". BMW's copywriting has been widely praised, and sales have naturally risen. Audi, a brand of FAW-Volkswagen, also took the opportunity to launch "The herd of heroes, Austrian vision of the world, how can you light Di"; Lincoln launched "Ride the red rabbit, lost E to go to Mecheng. Regretful, it is better to take the Lincoln way"; Volvo launched "E road through the generals, but the victory is in Wo". The clever use of the word change, all in this momentum marketing heat wave stand out. Industry hotspots are mostly limited to the industry or related industries, under the premise of not affecting the brand image, the more brands involved, the greater the momentum of the hotspot, the better the marketing effect. However, there are still some taboos to leverage industry hotspots, such as in the process of leverage marketing must not attack competitors without a bottom line, do not simply follow the trend of no creativity, such behavior will be disgusted by the masses, not conducive to the propaganda of the corporate culture. 6. current political hotspots current political topics need to be selected, because it not only relates to the issue of the brand's image, but also may be involved in the political sensitivity and even the issue of national security. Security issues.

However, some current political hotspots can be initiated from the perspective of blessing, such as the 2015 military parade day, Hongqiao Airport flash mob activities, expressing the wishes of the motherland's prosperity. Borrowing momentum of current political hotspot when the form of blessing, and to ensure compliance with national policy requirements of current political hotspot taboo.7. Disaster hotspot in the hot spot in the masses are most reluctant to see is the disaster hotspot, such as earthquakes, rainstorms, floods, fires and other accidents, these natural and manmade disasters and life-related, all marketing purposes to do momentum of the brand will be condemned by the user, this is the conscience and the bottom line. Disaster hotspot momentum and current affairs hotspot, disaster hotspot also involves social responsibility, in the case of the brand side of the manpower and material resources are more adequate, choose to use action instead of marketing activities more to win the respect and recognition of consumers. If the ability to take action is limited, send the most sincere and simple blessings, or disseminate effective disaster relief information, but without implanting any ads. However, it does not mean that brand owners can not combine disaster hotspots for marketing, but it depends on what the brand's original intention is, what the masses really want to see is the specific action of the enterprise and brand.
