Top 100 Branding Trends in October

The top October 2021 branding ideas explore waste reduction, free-from ingredient lists and bold adventures with flavor in a fun way that's fitting for the arrival of the last quarter of the year. Ever popular in the fall, the flavor of pumpkin spice is being introduced in a wide variety of new products for a fresh new season, including everything from health-conscious snack bars with minimal ingredients and plant-based coffee creamers to breakfast cereals to beer.

In preparation for the arrival of Halloween, brands are introducing limited-edition products with special flavors, formats and sizes, as seen with UNREAL's free-from chocolate treats, Hidden Valley's ranch packs for trick or treaters and Temptations' playful Tasty Human cat treats.
