1. Gwen Stefani\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gwen Stefani has been on MTV’s tops for the past 20 years. Her popularity has grown a lot since the days she sang with her band, No Doubt, and she’s now one of America’s style icons. Though she doesn’t seem to age (at all), her style has changed over the years, but there’s something that has always remained the same. That is the incredible and special aesthetics style.

Beyonce\u2019s marketing team knows this really well, and as we can see from the banner ads they\u2019ve created. Beyonce always had this simple, yet strikingly elegant approach to her advertising materials. Just take a look. Her banner ads, which promote her Lemonade album, all have the same pattern. The album promotes both feminism, and at the same, <\/span>it\u2019s an ode to black culture, a fierce statement against police brutality<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Beyonce<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the reason why she\u2019s the secondary character in each of these. She takes the saying <\/span>\u201cLet the music speak for itself\u201d<\/b> literally and let her songs be in the center of attention. This is when she stops being a promoter of herself and her brand but of her music, which in this case has a really important message.<\/span><\/p>\n

5.Celine Dion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Celine Dion is one of the greatest singers of all times. As a result of her stardom and recognition, the advertising team chose to use only her first name for her banner ads, as she is the only singer named Celine. In one of the ads, she is not even front-faced. As the designer probably guessed, she can be easily recognized by her iconic singing posture.<\/p>\n

Her display ads are in-line with the premium experience she offers. Notice the golden color of the text, the font, and the exquisite simplicity.<\/p>\n

8. Kanye West<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Surprisingly, even though Kanye seems to be rather self-absorbed, his banner ads are nothing like that. Neither of them has even a picture of Kanye. This could probably be because he\u2019s sure that everybody knows him (which might actually be true). <\/span><\/p>\n

Still, what\u2019s to take away from the way in which his marketing team manages his online advertising strategy is this: All his banner ads look just like his site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colors are essential when it comes to banner ads. When you start designing a banner ad you must know the <\/span>color palette of the brand<\/span><\/a>. Why? <\/span><\/p>\n

Because if you use the same color on your website, on your social media, on your clothes, on your banner ads – people will start associating it with your brand and will recognize it easier in the crowded online space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what Kanye\u2019s marketing department did with its online advertising. Took the colors of the website and made the banners resemble it.

As a consequence, all of her marketing materials follow the same strategy: use a sexy picture of Selena and prompt people to buy the tickets to her shows. These banners are no exception to this principle.<\/p>\n

\"selena<\/p>\n

Actionable tip – If good looks is what you got, use your pictures to sell the tickets.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. Adele<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Adele knows how vital the saying \u201cless is more\u201d is. Neither of her banners has more text than necessary. Also, she knows precisely how to sell the product: be it an album or tickets for a concert. <\/span><\/p>\n
