Besides creating awareness about the importance of learning CPR using an absolute horror theme, this multi-platform campaign that included Halloween posts for Facebook also set a new Canada-US record for mass CPR training in a day.

In this 2016 campaign, Airbnb in their Halloween Facebook post, dared its customers to sleep a night in the Bran Castle in order to stand a chance to spend a night at Dracula’s castle and sleep in the velvet-clad coffins, just as Dracula loved to sleep.

7. AVX Digital: Cool Halloween Pictures For Facebook

Using Facebook Halloween pictures over multiple days just before Halloween on 31st October, AVX Digital ensures communicating its Happy Halloween message to all its customers and clients alike who follow them on their social media.

Keeping their Halloween social media idea clean and simple, they have used images of some of the most common Halloween props like pumpkins in images to welcome this celebration of horror. The signature stroke through us the use of a dog clad completely with a white cloth to create a ghost to wish everyone a happy Halloween. It’s simple, it’s cute and more importantly, it serves its purpose to the point.

Originally popularised in a poem, the concept of Haloween originates from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Deriving its name from “Hallow” meaning a holy person, Haloween is actually a celebration of the night before the All-Saints Day on 1st November.

Given the tradition and the importance of Halloween, it is but natural for digital agencies and brands to capitalize on the occasion and use it to showcase their creativity while communicating their brand message to their customers and followers on social media. With some brilliant Halloween ideas already aired in the past many years, here’s hoping the campaigns in the future would continue the legacy called Halloween and Halloween social media campaigns.
