[Sunbasket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunbasket) new ad campaign dubbed 'Here Comes the Sunbasket' serves as a rebrand for the organic meal kit service. Now, the brand is aiming to recreate itself as a general food delivery service, as more Americans are spending time indoors, and away from grocery stores.

The brand had plans to evolve prior to the pandemic, but the needs in a post-[COVID](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-evil-foods) world align with what the brand was hoping to offer, speeding up the process. The announcement was made in the form of a national campaign, which includes print ads and a commercial. While the company is growing, they plan to still offer their [meal kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellofresh-family), catering to those who prefer the convenience of the service.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Branding Relaunch:** Opportunity for food delivery services to pivot their branding strategy in response to the pandemic.
- **General Food Delivery:** Increased demand for food delivery services has led to an opportunity for meal kit services to pivot to general food delivery services as seen with Sunbasket.
- **Convenience Offering:** Brands can cater to consumer demand for convenience by continuing to offer meal kits in addition to general food delivery services.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Food Delivery Services:** More food delivery services may pivot their branding and offerings to cater to the shift in demand for convenience during the pandemic.
- **Meal Kit Services:** Meal kit services have the opportunity to pivot to general food delivery services in order to accommodate the increased demand and need for convenience.
- **Advertising and Marketing:** As food delivery services pivot and rebrand, the advertising and marketing industry can assist with creating and implementing new campaigns and messaging strategies.
