Who caught the last GoT episode? What a bloody ending – Arya kidding me? Who would have thought the throne would be taken by…JUUUUUUUST KIDDING. No spoilers here. However, we take no shame in littering this blog with puns #noygrittes
We’re not the only ones who are sad to see the famed show over and done with. Some brands loved it so much that they incorporated it into their own advertising. Here are some of our favourite creative Game of Thrones-themed advertising campaigns.
Oreo
For the season finale, Oreo have released a GoT special pack of biscuits. #cookiesarecoming

Johnnie Walker
Now that is the perfect opportunity to play around with your brand name – Johnnie Walker Whisky released the White Walker Whisky in celebration of the final season of our favourite show. I think it is pretty cool (if you’ll excuse the pun):

This campaign was done by Ogilvy Hong Kong, read more about it here.
