TELEFLORA THANKS MOMS

TELEFLORA THANKS MOMS FOR MAKING THE “NEW NORMAL” MORE NORMAL

“A Mother’s Love,” Celebrating the Other Unsung HeroesMoms

By Erin

Teleflora, the world’s leading floral delivery service, is celebrating moms everywhere this Mother’s Day who have taken remarkable measures to create normalcy for their families during a time of uncertainty with the launch of a new campaign, “A Mother’s Love.”

Teleflora Mother's Day, A Mother's Love

The video features real stories of real moms who have suddenly taken on new roles at home. Overnight, moms became homeschool teachers, birthday parade organizers, and social distancing dance-off choreographers, as their children became their new office mates. Like always, moms didn’t miss a beat when the world turned upside down and they are doing everything they can to make sure their children will remember the love and laughter that made this time a happy time at home. Watch it below!

“As a working mom of two young children, navigating all of these changes from home, I deeply identify with how moms are feeling right now,” said Danielle Mason, vice president of consumer marketing, Teleflora. “Seeing moms posting on social media about their experiences and their feelings, both good and bad, we knew it was going to be a very different Mother’s Day and wanted to recognize these unusual circumstances and Herculean efforts. Moms, while anxious about how their children will be affected by this experience, need to know that they are making a tremendous impact, and with each day, they are writing their own unique story that will be told for generations.”

The campaign was created by The Wonderful Company’s in-house creative team, Wonderful Agency, and was led by executive creative director Mayumi Tatsuta. “It’s times like these that bring to light how powerful and all-encompassing a mom’s love is,” said Tatsuta. “This Mother’s Day, we were inspired by the honest and sincere user-generated content of moms balancing work and family during these challenging times like the pros that they are, and we wanted to show Mom she’s better than good, she’s great.” 

“A Mother’s Love” is an extension of Teleflora’s ongoing “Love Out Loud” brand platform, encouraging people to share love. Leading up to Mother’s Day, Teleflora launched a social campaign on Instagram and Facebook to recognize the phenomenal ways people are sharing their love out loud when the world needs it most.

Living the Quarantine Life

By Erin

How is everyone doing during this not so fun quarantine time? Being alone, lonely, not being able to go to work, lots of uncertainty, has made my anxiety go through the roof. My birthday is next Sunday on May 3rd, I can’t say I am much looking forward to it. I see so many people having zoom parties or drive by parties and they look awesome, but I feel like if I tried to plan one for myself it would be a total flop. I feel like I am easily forgotten most of the time, so don’t know what I will end up doing, if anything on birthday other than maybe just stay in bed and try to sleep all day.

One thing that has helped keep my sanity and has given me a little bit of joy though is the garden in my backyard. I hope this little bit of sunshine and roses can brighten up your day too. 🙂

What little things have brought you joy during this difficult time in quarantine? I hope everyone is staying safe, healthy and sane.
