Top 35 Interactive Trends in September

From Glamorous F1 Experiences to Cheesy Pop-Up Restaurants

— September 27, 2017 — Marketing
These September 2017 interactive marketing trends cover a range of unique branded experiences, interactive packaging designs, and memorable campaigns that get consumers involved.

An example an interesting interactive packaging design in the new 'La Mer' lotion, which comes in a box that's inspired by a retro pinball machine. Apart from standing out on store shelves, the game incites consumers to linger a little longer as they attempt to complete it. Due to this interactive element, the La Mer lotion makes for the ideal gift, and prompts consumers to test out the product for themselves.

One immersive experience that's featured is the 'Stranger Things' pop-up bar in Chicago, which was dubbed 'The Upside Down.' Although the bar is packed with references from the popular Netflix-original series, its decor and menu focuses most specifically on the character Eleven.
