Best Father’s Day Commercials in 2023
In the early 20th century, a dedicated daughter in Spokane, Washington, sparked the concept of Father’s Day to honor her selfless father, a Civil War veteran who single-handedly raised six children. Despite its humble beginnings in 1910, Father’s Day faced a long journey before becoming an official U.S. holiday in 1972. Once recognized nationally, the day gradually transformed from a heartfelt tribute to fathers into a significant marketing opportunity. Today, it serves as a critical moment for businesses to promote their products and services with effective Father’s Day ads. It’s remarkable to see how far we’ve come, and there’s no better reflection of this evolution than in the Father’s Day advertisements that we witness every year. With that said, we at Lapse Productions have curated a list of the best Father’s Day ads from 2023 that are heartwarming, creative, and have truly made an impact.

When should I create a Father’s Day Ad for my company?
The timing of your ad campaign plays a crucial role in its overall success. For Father’s Day campaigns, starting your creative process 2-3 months in advance gives ample time for ideation, production, and distribution. Remember, you want your audience to not just see, but also engage with your content. Running your campaign a few weeks prior to the actual day ensures higher visibility and allows your message to sink in.
When it comes to the video production side of the ad creation process, we would recommend a total of 4 weeks for the video content to be created. This would cover the entire video production process: Pre-Production, Production, Post-Production.
