Top 100 Branding Ideas in September

From Fried Chicken-Scented Lotions to Blogger-Crafted Pizzas

— September 24, 2016 — Marketing
From sunscreen lotions that smell like fried chicken to tequila product packaging that takes the form of a Tic-Tac-Toe board, the most popular September 2016 branding ideas are incredibly share-worthy.

In order to get the word out about a new product, promotion or service, many companies are using food as a means to capture the attention of consumers. For instance, Nathan's Famous and beer brand Lav both created all-new food products inspired by existing signature items.

Inspired by Internet culture, brands are seeking out unusual sources of inspiration for creatively branding products. Examples of this include the Marble Slab creamery launching a range of ice cream flavors inspired by the popular Candy Crush app and zpizza launching a new dish that was crated by blogger Gaby Dalkin.
