# Tribal Cat Invitations Promotions for Adult Swim's Comic-Con Booth Celebrate Colorful Cats By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-08-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comiccon-booth References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/28406865/Adult-Swim-Comic-Con-Booth-Brochure) & [adultswim](http://www.adultswim.com/presents/san-diego-comic-con-2015/) Adult Swim's Comic-Con booth at this year's convention in San Diego was a [giant, glowing spectacle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/15foot-inflatable) of cat-themed carnival fun. The face of the booth was a 30-foot tall, lit-up, neon-colored cartoon cat that doubled as a target for an epic [game of beanbag toss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claw-machine-event). Visitors to the Adult Swim Comic-Con booth could test their aim by throwing a beanbag through one of several round holes at the bottom of the cat's face. If they succeeded, they were rewarded with a prize that came whizzing down the cat's long, slide-shaped tongue. The theme of the Comic-Con booth tied in with Adult Swim's promotional materials, which featured the same cat face on the cover of a foldout that advertised the cartoon channel's activities throughout Comic-Con 2015. A die-cut slit in the cat's face displayed an embroidered tongue. When the brochure was opened, the tongue was actually a removable, [collectible patch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-comiccon) with a set of grotesque cat fangs. The Comic-Con booth was perfectly on brand for Adult Swim's grown-up, edgy cartoon image. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Glowing Spectacle:** Opportunity for innovative experiential marketing activations that create stunning visual displays to attract and engage consumers. - **Interactive Gaming:** Disruptive innovation potential lies in developing interactive gaming experiences that incorporate physical and digital elements to enhance user engagement. - **Collectible Merchandise:** Opportunity to create unique and collectible promotional merchandise that aligns with a brand's image and resonates with target audiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** Innovative marketing activations and merchandise can be applied to various sectors within the entertainment industry, including film, television, and music. - **Event Marketing:** Experiential marketing opportunities can be explored in various industries, such as conferences, trade shows, and festivals, to create memorable brand experiences. - **Apparel and Accessories:** Innovative merchandise ideas can be developed within the fashion industry, including clothing, accessories, and collectible items, to cater to niche markets and brand enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Life-Size Claw Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/claw-machine.md) - [Immersive Cat Lover Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskas-purradise.md) - [Playful Billboard Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamies-treats.md) - [Big-Screen Cat Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inaba.md) - [Glam Pet Adoption Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-showcats.md) - [Pet-Inspired Culinary Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-cat-day.md) - [Playful Cat Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-meow.md) - [70s-Style Cat Snack Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creamy-purrrre.md) - [Game-Based Pet Adoption Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamebased-pet-adoption-event.md)
