Recent Marketing News: Butterfly Sticker, Ice Cream, Maps, and More

During the last few weeks, there were news stories that reflected brand experiences, brand identity, brand naming, brand storytelling, brand strategy, customer experience marketing, employee experiences, logo design, personal branding, product marketing, product naming, special event marketing, word choice, and more.

DEATH OF GLORIA STEINEM

American writer, lecturer, political activist, and feminist organizer who made "HERSTORY" died on September 2nd at the age of 92. According to the AP, she "became the most visible symbol of the U.S. women's movement and remained a fierce and eloquent advocate for equality for six decades." In 1971, Steinem founded the National Women's Political Caucus with Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, and Bella Abzug. In 1972, Steinem co-founded Ms. Magazine and remained as an advisor until it was purchased in 2001 by the Feminist Majority Foundation. Though many saw her as a singular figure in history, she often liked to say that if she hadn't come along, someone else would have accomplished the same things."

California women's rights attorney Gloria Allred said upon hearing the news, "Gloria Steinem was an inspirational role model, a pioneer, and a person who made herstory. Not history, but herstory. I had to stop for a moment when I learned that she passed, but I knew that she would not want me to pause one more moment and to continue the fight, which I intend to do. We're not going back; we're only going forward. She has passed, but the torch is being passed...she would want us to continue."

According to Letty Cottin Pogrebin, who with Steinem and other women founded Ms. magazine, "She felt that battles were unfinished. But she focused me and everybody else on the future. She really didn't want to give the tradwives and the manosphere the credit for being long-lasting."

DEATH OF ROBIN MORGAN

Poet, editor, feminist - and friend of Gloria Steinem - Robin Morgan died on September 5th at the age of 85. According to NBC Los Angeles, "During the 1960s and 1970s, Morgan embodied and inspired historic changes in how women lived and thought. As she was happy to point out, she was a rule breaker and justice seeker with a notable list of achievements, along with a prison record and an FBI file. Morgan was at the center of some of the defining moments of what came to be called second-wave feminism, expanding upon the achievements of the suffragists a half-century earlier. In 1968, she was among the organizers of the first protest against the Miss America pageant, joining fellow activists in tossing their bras (soon mythologized as burning) into a "Freedom Trash Can." The 1970 essay anthology she edited, "Sisterhood is Powerful," is considered one of the essential texts of the modern women's movement. Gloria Steinem would call her an ideal "utility player," gifted in almost every way a protest movement might require. In 1984, she was a founder of an early feminist think tank, the Sisterhood Is Global Institute. And in 2005, she, Steinem and Jane Fonda launched the Women's Media Center, which has a mission to support the visibility, viability and decision-making power of women and girls in media."

Morgan is widely credited with coining the term "HERSTORY," the feminist reworking of "history," and popularizing the clenched fist/female symbol icon of the liberation movement.

TRIBUTE TO DOLLY PARTON

The Guardian reported, "The Tennessee Volunteers, a college football team, will be honoring Dolly Parton with a helmet sticker this season. The singer died on August 25th at the age of 80. She grew up in Sevierville, roughly 30 miles east of Knoxville, where the University of Tennessee is located. The sticker, in the Volunteers' signature orange, features a butterfly similar to the one in the logo of Dollywood, Parton's theme park. The logo also has "Dolly" written at its center."

WATER IS REASON FOR EVOLVING ROLE OF WOMEN IN VENICE, ITALY

The Guardian reported in early September, "Beyond the dominant narratives of overtourism and climate breakdown, another, quieter transformation is taking place. Venice lies on contradictions – appearance and structure, illusion and rootedness. One of these tensions emerges in the role of women in shaping the city's identity. While many Venetian traditions are historically grounded in women's labour, from lace-making to textile work and other forms of craftsmanship, women have long been excluded from what in Venice constitutes public space: water.

In Venice, water functions as the street. The city is crossed by about 150 navigable canals, which remain its main routes for movement, work and social exchange. For centuries, these waterways have been spaces governed by explicit rules and implicit codes that largely excluded women. As in many other cities where women have historically been marginalised from the street, in Venice they have been marginalised from the water. From navigating boats, from professions such as gondoliera and sandolista, from boatbuilding and competitive rowing. Today, these boundaries are beginning to shift.

Women are reclaiming space through tradition, carrying forward skills and professions that have long defined Venetian identity while simultaneously reshaping them. In 2010, Giorgia Boscolo became the first woman to obtain a gondolier licence, breaking a centuries-old barrier and opening the way for others. Today, women practising the profession are still few. According to fellow gondoliers, those actively working can be counted on the fingers of two hands, although more women have passed the qualification exam in recent years. There are about 440 licensed gondoliers in Venice, alongside approximately 200 substitutes – qualified gondoliers who have passed the exam but do not yet hold their own licence.

A similar profession is that of the sandolista, who rows a sandolo, a traditional flat-bottomed Venetian boat once widely used for everyday transport across the lagoon. Today, there are only about 20 sandolisti left, and just one of them is a woman: Chiara Curto. In the city’s remaining squeri – the traditional boatyards where wooden boats are built and repaired – Silvia Scaramuzza is the only female maestra d’ascia, or master boatbuilder. Other women are creating new paths into these spaces. In 2020, Marta Canino founded "Fie a Manetta," a name that roughly translates as "Girls at Full Speed," while also evoking the image of women taking the helm. It is the first, and still the only, motorboat navigation school in Venice run by women and open to everyone. The idea grew from the awareness that navigation remains a predominantly male environment."

TESLA'S ROBOTAXIS

CNN reported, "Nothing is more important to Tesla than its ambitious plan for self-driving "robotaxis." But it still has a long way to catch up to the competition in an industry where few have made any money...The public first got a look at the Cybercab at a glitzy Hollywood event two years ago, and prototypes have been seen in cities across America since then...If Tesla wants to be successful, it also has a long way to go to get past a key rival: Waymo, the self-driving car service from Google parent Alphabet. Waymo said in March that it was up to 500,000 paid rides in its driverless cars a week, and that number had doubled in the previous year. The company rolled out its service in three more cities – Denver, San Diego and Tampa – bringing it to 14 cities in which it provides driverless rides. And it said that through March, it had provided 220 million miles of driverless rides to customers since it began in 2018. Tesla, on the other hand, said in July it had provided 380,000 cumulative miles of unsupervised rides in its robotaxis, less than 0.2 percent of Waymo's total."

MAPQUEST KEEPS "LAKE ONTARIO"

The Guardian reported, "MapQuest, which was openly dismissive of Trump's August 27th executive order directing federal agencies to refer to the smallest of the Great Lakes as "Lake America" amid a trade spat with Canada, leapfrogged rivals Google Maps and Apple Maps to top the most-downloaded list, as first reported by TechCrunch. The app held the Number 1 spot on Apple's App Store as of Tuesday morning, September 1st...MapQuest, a 30-year-old company that bills itself as "the OG" (original) of the internet mapping era, appears to have been rewarded for standing firm...MapQuest's general manager, Doug Berger, said in a statement that usage of its app was running at about 50 times its usual rate. As a bit of fun, he said, the company was also offering subscribers the chance to generate their own name for the lake."

Reuters reported, "Apple changed the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" on the web version of its Apple Maps following U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order renaming the lake. The move by Apple on September 1st followed a decision by Alphabet late on August 29th to change the name of the lake on its Google Maps for U.S. users. Apple confirmed that U.S. users will see "Lake America" following a change to the body of water's name in the U.S. Geographic Names Information System. Users in Canada will continue to see "Lake Ontario," and users in the rest of the world will see both names, following the same approach Apple used after Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America."

According to Google, "The U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) has formally changed the name for "Lake Ontario" to "Lake America" in the United States. Since we update Google Maps to reflect name changes in official government sources, which is GNIS for the U.S., people using Maps in the U.S. will see "Lake America," those in Canada will continue to see "Lake Ontario," and those outside of the U.S. and Canada will see both names. These updates follow our long-standing policy for bodies of water with names that vary from country to country, and are starting to roll out now."

LAKE ONTARIO TREATY

Kimberly Wehle, law professor at the University of Baltimore, wrote in The Hill, "The leader of the Seneca Nation has argued that Trump's action is barred by the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua, which the U.S. entered into with a group of six tribal nations."

According to the AP, "The leader of the Seneca Nation in upstate New York criticized President Trump’s decision to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America," saying it violates a more than 225-year-old treaty and shows a "blatant disrespect" for the Indigenous people who gave it its name in the first place. Seneca Nation President J. Conrad Seneca called for Trump's order to be rescinded and for the Lake Ontario name to remain as a reflection of the Indigenous people in the U.S. and Canada who lived in territory around and along the lake long before the creation of either nation. Seneca said the renaming violated the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua, which was signed by President George Washington and the Haudenosaunee confederacy promising perpetual peace and friendship. The Seneca are one of the six nations of the confederacy, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy. The name Lake Ontario comes from the Huron Indigenous people's word meaning "lake of shining waters." The Canadian province of Ontario, founded in 1867, took its name from the lake."

MAP OF AFRICA

NPR reported on September 4th, "The United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly backed a resolution aimed at changing the way Africa and other regions are represented on world maps. The "Correct the Map" resolution, introduced by the West African country of Togo on behalf of the African Group (the 54 African member states at the U.N.) and supported by the African Union, was adopted on by a vote of 164 to one, with six countries abstaining. The United States was the only country to vote against it (Mike Waltz, US Ambassador to the UN). Before the vote, Togo's Foreign Minister Robert Dussey said maps are far more than simple representations of geography. The resolution is not legally binding and does not require countries or institutions to abandon the centuries-old Mercator projection, one of the world's most widely used maps. Instead, it encourages wider use of equal-area projections such as Equal Earth, which more accurately show the true relative size of countries and continents, particularly Africa, although their shapes are somewhat distorted. Members of the Correct the Map campaign are encouraging governments, international organizations, and educational institutions to adopt the Equal Earth projection. Developed in 2018 by cartographers Tom Patterson, Bernhard Jenny, and Bojan Šavrič, the map was designed to provide a more proportionally accurate picture of the world's land masses."

WHAT'S AN EXPERIENCE ARCHITECT?

Have you heard this title? Does your organization have an "experience architect?" According to Wikipedia, "An experience architect (also known as an XA) is responsible for authoring, planning, and designing the experience architecture deliverables...This person is responsible for ensuring that the customer experience meets or exceeds needs and objectives of the intended or wide users."

According to Salesforce, here's what an Experience Architect does:

(1) Creates the "invisible scaffolding" and frameworks that guide user journeys across multiple touchpoints.

(2) Plans information flow rather than just individual interface screens.

(3) Connects human emotions and behavior patterns with business goals, ensuring system provide clear and coherent feedback.

(4) Collaborates with product managers, software engineers, data analysts, and content designers to align the experience layer with technical constraints and business rules.

MILEY CYRUS BECOMES JUST "MILEY"

According to Variety, "Miley Cyrus dropped her last name in the lead up to her tenth studio album, "Bass Persuades," prompting her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, to speak out on X in defense of the decision. Miley's announcement fueled the rumor mill about alleged ongoing tensions between the pop star and her father, but according to Billy Ray, Miley notified him about the name change in advance and he had nothing but support for his Grammy-winning daughter."

Billy Ray Cyrus said, "I told Miley I felt good about her going with her first name. I mentioned Dolly and Cher. Thinking about it more and more...Elvis...Prince...and so on. It's a natural progression for an iconic superstar legend. And the legend continues! Looking forward to the new album."

NORAH O'DONNELL RETURNS TO MORNING TV

CBS announced that Emmy-award winning journalist Norah O'Donnell will be returning to morning news: to "CBS Mornings" as co-host alongside Gayle King and Nate Burleson, starting September 8th. "O'Donnell co-hosted the show with King for seven years before moving on in 2019 to anchor the "CBS Evening News." She was recently named a "60 Minutes" correspondent and also hosts "Healthful," a weekly women's health podcast. O'Donnell has earned nearly every major recognition in journalism for her work covering some of the biggest stories in the world and conducting impactful, news-making interviews. She has covered eight presidential elections and has interviewed every living president of the United States, as well as the late former President Jimmy Carter. In 2024, O'Donnell spoke exclusively with Pope Francis in Rome for a historic and first-of-its-kind papal interview for an American journalist. Prior to her roles as an anchor, O'Donnell served as CBS News' chief White House correspondent during the Obama administration. She is also the author of the New York Times bestseller "We the Women: Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America," a book launched as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence."

END OF AN ERA AT APPLE: GOODBYE TIM COOK

August 31st, 2026 was an important date in Apple history. Inc. reported, "Yesterday was the end of what is arguably the most successful tenure of a modern CEO. Tim Cook, who served as CEO at Apple for 15 years, stepped down from his role on Monday, August 31st, passing the baton to John Ternus, a 25-year veteran who most recently served as SVP of hardware engineering. Cook will stay on as executive chairman, and he has said he's eager to help in any way he can, but the most highly anticipated tech company CEO succession is finally here. The company looks a lot different than it did when Cook took over. It grew more than 1,100 percent during his tenure, becoming the most profitable—and for much of that time the most valuable—company on earth. That's largely due to the success of the iPhone, as well as the services business that Cook nurtured into what would—by itself—be a Fortune 100 company.

Cook shared an email to employees on his final day, "There is something truly special about Apple. I am most proud of what an annual report could never capture. This place is proof that culture triumphs over everything. We share a belief that what we build matters and that we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to leave the world better than we found it. That purpose is part of what makes this place extraordinary."

BEG‌INNING OF NEW ERA AT APPLE: HELLO JOHN TERNUS

John Ternus made his debut as Apple's new chief executive during the company's most important event of the year, its annual iPhone event on September 9th. According to CNN, Ternus faces the following challenges as he steps into the CEO shoes: "Criticism over AI, pressure to deliver hit products, memory shortage, and European regulation."

According to Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan, "Apple is already so large, profitable, and deeply embedded in its customers' lives that incremental excellence may no longer be enough to redefine the company. Ternus's challenge will be to preserve the profitable machine Cook built while restoring a stronger sense of technological surprise."

TACO BELL ADDS "ICE CREAM TACO" TO MENU

USAToday reported, "The menu at Taco Bell just got a lot cooler because the ice cream taco is back, but only for a limited time. Ice cream tacos have been a hit for the Mexican-inspired fast-food chain and Portland, Oregon-founded ice cream company Salt & Straw. Last year, they teamed up on the Tacolate, a waffle cone taco shell filled with cinnamon ancho chili ice cream, dipped in chocolate and topped with toasted brown rice. But the treat was only available at Salt & Straw stores. This year's treat, the Salt & Straw Churro Ice Cream Taco ($3.99), is available at Taco Bell locations nationwide for a limited time...Salt & Straw created a new Churro Ice Cream to fill the ice cream taco's crispy waffle cone shell, which is finished with puffed rice and a dark chocolate-flavored coating."

SNOOP DOGG'S NEW JOB

According to Global News, "Snoop Dogg is searching for someone to put their taste buds to work for his Dr. Bombay ice cream brand for $10,000 a month. The three-month gig is open to applicants around the world, with the successful candidate earning a total of $30,000. The taster will travel in search of frozen desserts, discover new and emerging food trends, and report their findings to the Dr. Bombay team. They'll also help develop new flavors and ideas for the brand and create content along the way. Dr. Bombay is encouraging creators, foodies, marketers, students, entrepreneurs, journalists, chefs, and people from unconventional professional backgrounds to apply. Applicants must speak English, have a valid passport, and be available for the full three-month contract.

Snoop launched Dr. Bombay Ice Cream in 2023, with his son Cordell Broadus playing a key role in developing the brand. Dr. Bombay is now looking beyond the U.S. for flavour inspiration as it expands. The company says the ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of food and flavor trends and an ability to spot what's coming before it goes mainstream. Snoop's team will be involved in reviewing the shortlisted candidates, with Snoop himself expected to call the lucky applicant who lands the job."

Since I'm curious what the job application looked like, here were three interesting questions:

(1) Enter your social profile with the biggest reach! The following platforms are acceptable: Instagram, Tiktok, X, and LinkedIn. 

(2) How much ice cream do you eat per week? How many pints, cones, bowls, etc.

(3) Select the flavors you have experience with: baked blueberry muffin, peanut butter jelly time, strawberry cream dream, tropical sherbert swizzle, iced out orange cream, sticky caramel apple pie, long beach fruit cart, mango sticky rice ice cream, and cookies & cream.

NON-TRADITIONAL GROWTH VENUES FOR LITTLE CAESARS

Nation's Restaurant News reported, "Little Caesars has committed to four new locations across U.S. Navy installations, building on its first military base opening at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, last year. These locations are part of the chain's broader focus on non-traditional growth. In addition to military bases, the chain is also targeting universities and sports venues."

COCA-COLA'S GLOBAL REDESIGN

According to Brand Innovators, "The Coca-Cola Company has launched a new global visual identity system to support a new era of brand consistency across more than 200 global markets including: Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The new design, which builds on the brand's iconic red and white assets, includes three new visual cues – larger "Zero Sugar" text, a prominent black Dynamic Ribbon on cans, as well as a black bottle cap on PET packaging. It will be more featured across packaging, retail environments, equipment, and digital experiences."

According to Rapha Abreu, global vice president of design at The Coca‑Cola Company, "The strategy is really about making Coca-Cola more Coca-Cola. Rather than reinventing one of the world's most iconic brands, we're doubling down on the distinctive assets people already know by heart: our red and white, the Spencerian Script, the Dynamic Ribbon and the Arden Square, and creating a stronger, more consistent Coca-Cola experience across every touchpoint and more than 200 markets. The inspiration came directly from almost 140 years of Coca-Cola design history. We went back to the archives and found that Coca-Cola was at its best when it was simple, confident, and expressive, so we amplified the assets that have always made the brand unmistakable, while creating a system that feels both timeless and timely. This is much more than a packaging refresh; we created a complete design system that works across packaging, retail, digital, equipment, experiences, and communications. For a brand operating in more than 200 markets and across thousands of touchpoints, consistency and distinctiveness are enormous opportunities. The new system gives us a simple, flexible foundation that can scale globally while helping ensure that wherever someone encounters Coca-Cola, they get the same uncompromised Coca-Cola brand experience."

MIFFY MADNESS

Modern Retail reported, "Move over, Hello Kitty and Labubu. Retail's latest "IT" girl is a 70-year-old cartoon bunny from the Netherlands. Her name is Miffy, and she has white ears, colorful outfits and an "X" for a mouth. The brainchild of Dutch artist and author Dick Bruna, Miffy made her debut as a children's book character in 1955. She went on to appear in TV shows and movies for decades — but she's also become a merchandiser's dream. Over the last five years, Miffy has collaborated with dozens of properties, including LeSportsac, Calpak, the Museum of Modern Art, Baggu, and Starbucks.

This Miffy mania is proving big business for brands. Starbucks' 2026 collection with Miffy — which included cups, a plushie and a tote bag — launched in May in the U.S. and Canada and sold out within 24 hours at many store locations. In 2025, MoMA debuted a "Starry Night" Miffy doll, figuring it had enough inventory on hand for six months. The product sold out in less than one month, and it continues to be a top seller at MoMA's Design Store. Today, the term "kidulting" (a cultural trend where adults actively enjoy toys, games, and activities traditionally meant for children to reduce stress and find joy) has entered the mainstream. For now, customers continue to clamor for all things Miffy. In other words, the Miffy phenomenon is not a case of "hare today, gone tomorrow," and brands aren't hopping off the bandwagon any time soon."

DYSON LAUNCHES FLOSSING PRODUCT

The company known for expensive vacuums has launched a new product to address flossing. The device called the Dyson CameraJet, scans your mouth 28 times per second and fires tiny bursts of liquid into tight spaces where plaque can settle. The process is so subtle that it feels like regular brushing. However, will you pay $499 for the flossing product?

TEDDY BEAR TREND

KTAL reported, "Teddy bears are having a moment — and not just with kids. This year, cozy nostalgia is driving some of the biggest holiday trends: Starbucks kicked off a social frenzy with its sold-out Bearista merch, Ralph Lauren's iconic Polo Bear is trending everywhere, and nostalgic childhood comfort items are having a resurgence. Thanks to the revival of cozy-core aesthetics and a collective craving for soft, familiar joy, the bear trend has jumped across categories from apparel to home decor to giftables."

KING CHARLES SEES BAYEAUX TAPESTRY

As I shared in my "Recent Marketing News" post on August 31st, Forbes reported, "The Bayeux Tapestry is normally housed in the Bayeux Tapestry Museum (Centre Guillaume le Conquérant) located in the town of Bayeux in Normandy, France. However, this masterpiece of art is temporarily residing in The British Museum in London, England, on a historic once-in-a-generation agreement from France while its permanent home undergoes major museum renovations. It is on display at the British Museum from September 2026 through July 2027, marking its first return to England in nearly 1,000 years."

On September 2nd, the BBC reported, "King Charles hailed the unprecedented loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum, calling it the "best possible symbol" of the closeness between the UK and France. After viewing the medieval tapestry in London a week before it goes on public display, he spoke in French and English to guests including President Emmanuel Macron of France and Prime Minister Andy Burnham. The King said he was the direct descendant of one of the key figures in the tapestry, William, Duke of Normandy, whose army invaded and defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Describing the tapestry as a "masterpiece," French President Macron said a loan had first been proposed in the 1930s, but he was delighted that the idea had come to fruition. The tapestry, believed to have been embroidered by English women for the new Norman rulers in the 1070s, includes 58 separate scenes, with 627 human figures, 737 animals, 37 ships, 23 trees, and a Latin narration accompanying the images. There was strong demand for tickets to see the tapestry, with the exhibition already sold out until the end of 2026. The next tickets, covering visits between January and March 2027, will be available from the British Museum from 21 October."

WASHINGTON, D.C. ARCH

According to The New York Times, "President Trump is breaking ground on his 250-foot-tall triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery even before a federal review panel has approved the project. The National Park Service published a report acknowledging that the arch would disrupt views and symbolism of dozens of other historically significant sites around the capital. And a group of Vietnam War veterans has sued to stop construction arguing that the arch would obstruct the view between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery."

THE "ILLITERATE BOYFRIEND" TEST

According to The Guardian in early September, "People online are distressed at men butchering words such as 'hyperbole' and 'hors d’oeuvres' – highlighting a gender reversal in 'intelligence gaps.' There are common non-negotiables we look for in a prospective partner. They should be kind, caring and thoughtful. Having a shared interest helps. So does remembering important dates and anniversaries. But how much does it matter if they know how to pronounce the word 'gnocchi?' 

Turns out that's a potential dealbreaker, at least according to a (rather judgy) cohort on TikTok. See: the "Illiterate Boyfriend" trend, which is testing some couples on the app. Users have compiled a list of what are essentially SAT words for women to ask their male partners to read. Many of these men – this is an overwhelmingly heterosexual activity – fail to finish the list unscathed. They trip over entries such as hyperbole, cynicism, diaphragmatic, and the oft-butchered French term, hors d’oeuvres.

According to a 2024 Pew Research report, in 1995, young men and women were equally likely to hold a bachelor's degree. Now, 47 percent of women ages 25 to 34 have one, compared with 37 percent of their male counterparts. One thing people do want is an equal. According to Robin Hamilton, a couples therapist, "It's not necessarily that someone needs a specific degree or to know every word in the dictionary. It's more: are you able to communicate with me, are you able to meet me halfway with the subjects that I'm talking about?"

One of those subjects might be reading, an indicator of vocabulary range. Men's rates of book reading have slipped over the past decade; nearly half of all women read just one novel or short story in 2022, but only one in four men did. According to data from Tinder, mentions of books in bios on the dating app jumped 40 percent this year among women, but only 23 percent among men."
