Pringles n' Caviar, South Park Snow Day, Pop Tarts Bowl, Planet Fitness
Happy New Year! In the first show of 2024, here's what's on tap:
Planet Fitness collaborates with Megan Thee Stallion, releasing fitness-focused merchandise like shirts and water bottles. However, they could have expanded their range to include more diverse fitness gear.
Pringles' unexpected partnership with a caviar company demonstrates the effectiveness of unconventional brand collaborations.
The Pop-Tarts Bowl used a mascot effectively for marketing but missed a chance to further capitalize on this popularity through merchandise like toys or apparel.
Chipotle's "fan-inspired car napkin holder" is a creative product that turns a common customer habit into a branding opportunity.
South Park's "Snow Day" video game, particularly its collector's edition with exclusive merchandise, shows the value of special editions in marketing.

Holiday Merch from KFC & Tito's, Dunkin Dog Toys, Gold Peak Golden Hour, Matilda Bay Other Merch
We kick things off with Gold Peak Iced Tea's nifty iPhone accessory: we explore how it transforms everyday moments into the coveted 'golden hour' with a simple clip-on filter. Then, we jet over to Australia where Matilda Bay is shaking things up by giving away merch from more popular brands, cheekily promoting their Hazy Lager as your 'second favorite beer'.
Tito's Vodka brings the holiday spirit with their 'kinda ugly' holiday collection, where the proceeds go to dog charities – a heartwarming touch for the festive season. Meanwhile, Bark teams up with Dunkin' in the Dogs for Joy program, offering adorable dog toys that mimic Dunkin' products, with proceeds going to charity.
Finally, KFC gets in on the holiday action with their new bucket design and a range of merch, including a cozy hoodie and clever finger-lickable gloves, perfect for chicken enthusiasts.
It's a whirlwind tour of how brands are getting creative with their promotional products, blending fun, functionality, and a dash of charity work.
