Target Inside Out: Red Bag Stories
Target’s “Inside Out” campaign puts its design heritage and customers at the centre of a national brand push. Alongside ads and creator-made “Red Bag Stories”, the retailer is taking the familiar red shopping bag into the streets with “Bagspotting” activations, rewarding people carrying one with a chance to win gift cards.
Why it worked: It hijacked an instantly recognizable asset—the red bag—and turned real-world sightings into rewardable moments tied to a turnaround narrative window.
The lesson: Consider staging surprise rewards around a ubiquitous brand cue spotted in public, then fuel it with creator testimonials and a tight calendar hook.
