Apple WWDC Merch, Big Slick KC, Rolling Stones x Keurig
06/12/23 • 10 min
We kick off with the collaboration between the geriatric rock band, the Rolling Stones, and Keurig. They launched a 'Start Me Up' iced coffee maker, sadly it's already sold out. The marketing strategy behind it proves the power of unexpected partnerships and limited edition offerings.
Apple's latest reveal at the WWDC - not the Vision Pro, but their killer merch. From limited-edition tote bags to enamel pins, Apple's merch game is strong and resonates with its audience.
Starbucks' unusual merch strategy in Korea and across Asia, highlighting how popular their merchandise collections can get. Their Pantone Merchandise Collection is a testament to the power of tailored, relevant merchandise in your marketing strategy.
A great case study from Kansas City, where the "Big Slick" fundraising event used branded merchandise to raise over $180,000 for Children's Mercy Hospital. This story underlines the role merchandise can play in not just promoting an event, but also creating lasting, positive memories associated with your brand.

AI-Generated Novel, Baileys X Matcha, NBA Merch Oddity, Sonic Summer Swag
Smoothie King's had a unique marketing stunt. They took things to a whole new level by using AI and ChatGPT to create a romance novel. But here's the catch—it's all about promoting their new X-Treme Watermelon Smoothie. The AI even designed the book cover with a model with too many fingers, the book included secret codes for readers to decipher.
An ad agency in Romania has created the world's largest T-shirt using half a million recycled bottles. This incredible feat has earned them a spot in the Guinness Book of Records.
We stumbled upon a real gem in the world of NBA merch: a 2009 Nuggets finals shirt that's not supposed to exist. It's definitely an oddity worth discussing.
Bailey's Irish Cream and Cha-Cha matcha have teamed up to create a matcha-based cocktail kit. It's the perfect blend of flavors, and we'll also take a quick detour into the world of matcha accessories and merch.
Oh and the cool summer swag line from Sonic. They've got everything you need for a fun-filled summer, from cool pool floaties to handy can coolers. The best part is that the proceeds from these swag items go to a good cause, supporting the Inspire Foundation and helping kids in need.
So grab yourself a refreshing Sonic limeade, or if you're feeling fancy, mix up a Bailey's and matcha, and join us on this exciting journey through the world of merch.

Marketing With Merch by Slurpee, Cheez-It, Barilla & Taco Bell
In this episode, we spotlight top brands like Slurpee, Cheez-It, Barilla, and Taco Bell are leveraging merchandise for promotional campaigns.
7-11 Slurpee's rebranding campaign "Anything Flows" — where they use unique merch like pool floats and beach towels to reinforce their fresh look. We uncover Cheez-It's inventive promotion in Joshua Tree, California, where they transformed a roadside gas station into the 'Cheez-It Shop'. We highlight how business owners can create immersive experiences and drive brand loyalty with such out-of-the-box ideas.
Barilla Pasta's limited-edition "Summer of Pesto" collection features trendy items like an inflatable snack tray and custom printed bucket hats. Why the merch isn't available for purchase?
Taco Bell's collaboration with street artist Ricardo Gonzalez - It's A Living - provides a fresh spin on employee uniforms. These collabs can boost employee morale and enhance brand identity.
