Top 50 Interactive Trends in August

From Food-Focused Automotive Pop-Ups to Musical Soda Campaigns

These August 2017 interactive trends demonstrate some of the different ways that brands can increase their appeal among consumers by using creative means to ensure that their product or service remains memorable.

In order to promote a new supernatural TV series called 'Midnight Texas,' Syfy created a campaign dubbed 'Food and Fortune,' which combines BBQ burger sliders from Breddos Tacos with fortune telling from Ryan Gooding. The pop-up was exclusive to social media influencers and members of the media, who helped to spread the word on the new series and what it has to offer.

Also featured in these August 2017 interactive trends is the new Harry Potter ride at Universal's Island of Adventure. Like other rides that are centered around the wizard world, the park's latest addition aims to bring fans closer to the fantasy by allowing them to encounter realistic representations of the characters and immerse them into magical settings.
