Brand moments: Thanks & not pranks dominate brands’ April Fool’s Day campaigns
Pranks and practical jokes abound on April Fool’s Day. However, given the sensitivity of the pandemic situation across the country, brands are observing the occasion to express gratitude and are urging people to give back to society instead of playing pranks on people.
Google has decided not to fool the world with its April 1 jokes this year due to the threat of coronavirus that has affected the lives of people around the globe.
There are several other brands who are giving out a similar message for the society.
