A student from the VCU Brandcenter named Dennis Chen designed a series of images that make use of well-known brands creatively.

He replaces the product names with job titles and creates a brutally truthful and comical slogan to go along with each. The images seem to be centered around a summer theme, with many of the items linked to barbecuing and cooling off in the hot weather. Two [Heinz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-ai-ketchup) bottles have the company's name replaced with the title 'Junior Copy Writer' and 'Junior Art Director,' with the words beside reading 'Please Put Us on Everything.' In another he labels a bucket of ice cream with 'Account Execs,' paired with 'Changing the world one calendar invite at a time.'

Also included are renditions of well-known brands that comment on certain aspects within the company, with a six-pack of [Stella Artois](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steal-artois) representing [Snapchat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-campaign) advertising space, with the luxuriously marketed yet affordable beer going along with the phrase 'Seemingly Expensive' that's written in cursive.
