Getting kids to eat their vegetables is an age-old challenge for adults. Heck, sometimes convincing ourselves to eat our greens can take work. That’s a problem one food producer is trying to tackle through branding and design. By tricking the customer’s brain into thinking a package of spinach is fast food, it might just be enough to accept or, dare we say, crave vegetables...
In honor of Inauguration Day, we’re inaugurating a new batch of five promotional products to hold the highest office in the land—a place on our Fave 5 list. That’s no slam on last week’s products, but in the spirit of moving forward it’s time to check out five new products this week...
Burger King is completely overhauling its brand identity, with a new (throwback) logo, updated packaging and all-new uniforms for employees. Despite the company calling its update a “more modern look,” the new logo will look familiar to most. It’s simple, minimal. And the packaging goes along with it...
We’re back after a nice long break! It feels good to get back in the swing of things. And it feels even better to dive through our saved folders of promotional products we see on social media and think “I have to remember to use that for the Fave 5.” With that time off, we saw plenty of good ones...
The holiday shopping frenzy might’ve been dominated by the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, but one gaming platform raised the most eyebrows (and smelled the best). We’re talking about the KFConsole, a fully functional branded video game console made by KFC that also keeps chicken warm...
To celebrate soccer superstar Lionel Messi's goal-scoring milestone, Budweiser sent 644 personalized beer bottles to all of the goalkeepers Messi scored on. Each label had the corresponding goal number printed on it, and the beer came in a custom box...
We can’t think of many artists more marketable right now than Travis Scott. In 2020 alone, he’s teamed up with LeBron James to design T-shirts for high school seniors, worked with McDonald’s for the first of its extremely expansive artist tie-in projects, and released video game accessories (and got sued over it). This is all…
The PM offices are closed next week, so this will be the last edition of the Fav 5 of 2020. So, with that in mind, we’re going to make this one count. That’s not to say that we don’t give it our all every week. We do. In fact, some weeks we even go harder.…
When we saw that The Killers had a new collection of branded hot sauces, we thought to ourselves, “There better be one called ‘Hot Fuss.’” Thankfully, there was, and we didn’t need to write any angry letters. (For those who don’t listen to The Killers, “Hot Fuss” is the name of their breakout 2004 album.) The hot sauce release is limited...
We saw some pretty interesting promotional products campaigns this week, most notably the Pepsi spa kit. Pepsi aside, we have five more promo products that are worthy of praise, like a skateboard/boombox, well-timed onesies and more...
