What is the Mood Marketing trend?

Mood Marketing: For brands seeking new methods of gaining consumer attention, one way to enhance engagement and interaction is through mood-boosting, inspiring campaigns that not only involve consumers but also make them feel good at the same time. Athletic brands such as Nike have been known for doing this (sports products tend to lend themselves to motivational themes), but inspiring, mood-based messaging can extend to different product types, from beverages to skincare products, as well.
