The latest campaign by [Spring Advertising](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-thyme-market) is achingly adorable. Promoting for the [John Casablancas Institute](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-sky-miners) (a fashion design, make-up and hair school), the campaign showcases children's attempts at a fashionable experience.

This campaign promotes the universal message that certain youths are able to pinpoint their career interests and talents at a young age. As funny as the ad is, Spring Advertising also managed to touch upon a more serious idea through this commercial.

**Implications** - Consumers in contemporary society look for products that take an [unconventional aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adidas-originals-new-campaign). Items that feature a one-of-a-kind aesthetic appeal to shoppers who want to differentiate themselves from others. Companies could develop more designs like this in order to attract more attention.
