Edible Emotion

The connection between food and love is strengthened to consumer praise

Implications - The connection between food and consumers is becoming heavily focused on emotion as the notion of fandom takes precedence. As brands forge an emotional connection for consumers, the concept of love for a product becomes something that's embraced as opposed to negated, which speaks to a need for humanization.
Trend Themes
1. Emotional Branding - Brands are focusing on connecting with consumers emotionally to bring in more engagement and loyalty.
2. Humorous and Punny Food Marketing - The rise of humorous and pun-driven food marketing is gaining momentum to sell ideas or products.
3. Food Packaging That Reflects Emotions/feelings - Food packaging is now being designed to convey emotions and health benefits, rather than just aesthetics or convenience.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry can utilize the emotional connection and humor to advertise various products and evoke brand loyalty.
2. Packaging - The packaging industry can focus on creating packaging that reflects emotions and simplifies the message rather than being loaded with unnecessary designs.
3. Marketing and Advertising - The marketing industry can take advantage of humor to create more engaging ad campaigns that capture the audience's attention.
