Top 100 Marketing Ideas in August

From Ridiculous Rebranding Spoofs to One Star Motel Ads

— September 1, 2014 — Eco
In addition to many fashion campaigns and ads making up a large portion of the top August 2014 marketing ideas, there are also several noteworthy campaigns that delivered in terms of originality and cleverness.

As a way to promote both the Tour de France and a new camera, Sony decided to install five of its HD AS100VR ActionCams on the backs of sheep. These five sheep -- not cameramen -- were responsible for shooting the Yorkshire leg of the race. Sony is confident in the camera's Advance SteadyShot stabilization that letting sheep film the sporting event wasn't a risk.

Airbnb's rebranding released earlier this month also inspired a number of spoofs and parodies on the Internet. The AirBNB Logos Tumblr account makes clever and humorous stabs at different interpretation of the new logo's shape.
