The top 2017 March marketing trends encompass a range of promotions, with the most interesting initiatives beings smaller ones that offer creative methods of self-promotion.
The dynamic business cards created by the Hungarian designer Réka Neszmély are highly unique due to their ability to never look the same twice. Their ability to shift colors depending on the way the light hits them makes them a creative standout to the more traditional business cards that can be found with most individuals and companies.
The creative agency Dow Design Ltd. also provides an excellent example of how to self-promote in a unique way. The agency collaborated with a "jellyologist" to create experiential jelly-making kits for the brand to hand out to its clients.
