From charitable limited edition prints to album art puzzles, the July 2020 pop culture trends showcase how brands are responding to a variety of social and pandemic-prompted issues.
Notably, Hotels.com announced a new promotion, Get a Break Rate, aimed at supporting feuding couples, families, and roommates who are finding the proximity of lockdown stiffing. The deal lets them escape for some alone time for a night for half price.
Another intriguing example of the July 2020 pop culture trends is André 3000 new call-out apparel line that raises funds for the Black Lives Matter movement. The collection features provocating designs with statements adorned on the clothing such as 'Narcissistic Americans,' 'Have You Stopped Growing?,' and 'Across Cultures, Darker People Suffer The Most, Why?,' among others.
