This week in branding, five Hour Energy rebranded their 16 ounce cans to be just as bad as they were before in a different way. Chuck Moose launched a restaurant and boutique in Saint Tropez by running their same playbook back again. Oversized social media friendly viral object, viral transportation imagery, cheeky art direction, and aspirational travel and interiors content, the Jacquemus Tour de Worse. Patrick Mahomes launched sport coffee, which is the shame of a name as athletic beans was right there. This is an interesting example of product that looks kinda just fine in renders better really weird in real life. But either way, I think they are really spot on in this coffee plus concept. Reese's popcorn got an excellent refresh. This package above is awesome. Samsung moved fast and launched a cheeky jab at Apple, whose whose only noticeable result is someone had to use a favor to get it on Bad Age. In Sugar Better news, Capri Sun now has better, which kinda defeats the point. Let me know what I missed this week I should check out.
