Top 100 Marketing Trends in October

Froom Cheese Lover Societies to Humorous Payment Campaigns

— October 27, 2024 — Marketing
The October 2024 marketing trends showcase a diverse array of campaigns, commercial spots, pop-ups, and immersive experiences that leverage technology to enhance consumer engagement like the McDonald's Japan AI Ad.

Notably, with the commencement of the NFL season in the United States, numerous marketing efforts have prominently featured football athletes and celebrities. A highlight of this season includes Megan Thee Stallion’s PEPSI advertisement, which positions the brand as the official beverage sponsor of the NFL. In addition, PEPSI has initiated a mixologist-crafted beverage truck, offering specialized drink creations that creatively incorporate the brand's diverse soda offerings, thereby engaging participants uniquely.

Moreover, the marketing landscape is also enriched by a series of collaborations tied to the release of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, aligning with the Halloween season. This connection has spurred a variety of Halloween-themed marketing trends characterized by spooky motifs and iconic figures from pop culture, including monsters and supervillains. These trends illustrate the industry's ability to innovate and adapt, effectively capturing consumer interest through timely and culturally relevant narratives.
