Hefty Ultimate Cups (the budget-friendly alternative to the classic red Solo cup) has recently launched what could be one of the most clever digital marketing campaigns to date. The videos, shared on Hefty’s Facebook page last week, feature everyday moms transformed into #PartyHardMoms. They’re dressed in typical PTA attire, yet they recount the previous night’s wild party in a hilariously deadpan Spring Breaker style.
The use of teen lingo like “Get over here, girl, this party is lit,” “Don’t hate because you can’t relate,” and “Bottles were poppin’ and the ice luge was on fleek” adds a layer of absurdity when delivered by these seemingly straight-laced, cardigan-wearing moms who speak directly to the camera while doing chores like unpacking groceries or folding laundry.
“Traditionally, mothers are portrayed in a very specific light: as devoted caregivers,” said Hefty Cups marketing director, Melanie Carter, in the campaign announcement. “However, the truth is that moms have much more depth and variety in their lives.” Perhaps the Hefty team is unaware of reality TV personalities like Lisa Vanderpump or any of the other #PartyHardMoms who embody that complexity. Or maybe they drew inspiration from them!
Carter continues, “Social media plays a crucial role in a mom’s life, and spending time with friends often provides a much-needed break from the monotony of daily tasks. We aimed to tap into that sense of fun… Essentially, we’re giving moms the green light to let loose with the perfect party cup from Hefty.”
I’d definitely swipe right on that idea! My daughter, however, is not a fan. When I showed her the videos, she laughed so hard that she nearly burst! Then, with a serious expression, she said, “Mom, don’t even.”
Well, that’s a classic “bye, Felicia!” moment! For more insights on pregnancy and home insemination, check out this resource at The Center for Reproductive Health.
