Top 100 Branding Trends

From Romantic Champagne Cocktails to In-Game Billboard Advertising

— August 25, 2024 — Marketing
The August 2024 branding trends showcase an array of marketing initiatives that capture the essence of the summer season through interactive pop-ups and immersive events.

The August compilation highlights how brands are leveraging seasonal themes to engage with consumers in novel and dynamic ways like the Chips Ahoy! Ice Pop-Up and the Luvme Hair Pop-Up which was an exclusive three-day event.

One prominent trend is incorporating playful and creative energy into marketing campaigns as seen in Mountain Dew's 'The Mountain Dude' Campaign and Gameloft's In-Game Billboard Advertising. Brands are crafting refreshing narratives that resonate with their audiences, often drawing attention to specific causes. These campaigns are not only engaging but also aim to create meaningful connections with consumers.

Finally, brands are developing interesting collaborations that bring fictional worlds to life like the Emily in Paris' Chamère and the Winx Club X ColourPop collection, pushing boundaries and embracing imaginativity.
