The photo proves that you never know what you'll see (crazy, bizarre, eye-catching, unusual, weird, wild), but the best marketing consultants in the world are increasing the odds of helping you see even more of that.
Even today as I was returning from the gym, then made a u-turn when my eyes would not let go of this very peculiar shape in the hotel parking lot? As my curiosity grew, I was confronted with two options that needed an immediate response and call-to-action:
A. I could keep focused, then wonder later "what was that nutty-looking thing I saw in the middle of the lot - resembling a lonesome, wooden Klomp from the Netherlands?
B. I could turn on my signal, make a quick lane change, bust a u-ey. Then head across the road to take a closer look and see who was nuts enough to park an gigantic peanut right in the middle of the hotel parking lot?
Obviously, my second option was the only logical choice. I'm right here. It will only take a moment. But of course, check, go check it out. When I get there I'm like a Las Vegas card dealer, shuffling with my thumb to locate the icon for my camera app.
Planters NutMobile
What extreme branding can do for you?
There's still something in this post that
you don't want to overlook.
A. You do not know that the photographs of the Planter's Nutmobile (huge mobile peanut with lightly salted fiberglass shell) were taken with a Samsung Galaxy S III, but that does not matter too much.
B. You do not know how the "Bolts" of Extreme Branding work, and that really matters.
Extreme Branding takes control of the normal human impulse. It piques your interest and gives you a reason to learn more. The "more" means leading more consumers to your business. Which could mean more money in your bank account and feeling good about your business marketing decisions (bolts).
Hidden in the magnitude you will find a huge peanut parked in the hotel parking lot - made possible with a really smart marketing decision.
Will I buy more Planter's Peanuts? Not sure yet, but the huge peanut is "planted" in my mind for a while - I'll remember when I get to the store.
I can tell you that parents will be hearing their kids talking about Mr. Peanut this Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. Or you may want to pick up some Planter's peanuts for 1 of 300+ NFL games, because you may be drinking beer, and kids have been known to throw nuts into the fireplace one time.
More Extreme Branding in the Wild
Once you start looking for brands that refuse to whisper, they are everywhere. These examples turn vans, trailers and mobile displays into oversized moving media—each one using scale, color, repetition or motion to make the brand harder to ignore.
Gorilla Energy: Fuel the Fight on Four Wheels
One giant gorilla face, one deep-blue van, and almost no wasted surface area.

We especailly like the grille with the Gorilla teeth – Beauty is in the details.
Siete Foods: Juntos es Mejor, On the Move
The magenta truck, oversized Siete mark, “Heritage-Inspired” language and “Juntos es Mejor” line make the vehicle read like product packaging at street scale. Siete describes itself as a Mexican-American food brand rooted in family and heritage-inspired food—the truck makes that message visible before anyone reaches the shelf.
1-Tom-Plumber: The Name Is the Phone Number
This wrap commits to one unforgettable visual device: hot-pink plungers repeated across a black van, then one enormous plunger appearing to punch through the side. 1-Tom-Plumber says the design is intentionally built to cause a double-take, while its phone-number name turns that attention into recall.
H-E-BUDDY HEB Mascot
Anthropomorphic branding gives a non-human idea human energy. H-E-Buddy is more than a costume — it’s connection, memory, and personality, nicely packed in a brown bag, H-E-B's local answer to Mickey Mouse, fostering generational loyalty by engaging kids and adults.

The trailer enlarges Sun Cruiser’s can, turquoise-and-yellow palette and “Real Iced Tea. Real Vodka.” promise to billboard scale.

Lagunitas: Let the IPA Do the Talking
Large red LAGUNITAS lettering and its familiar IPA treatment turn an ordinary semi trailer into instant shelf recognition at road scale. Lagunitas has described packaging as one of its most important branding and communications tools; here, that packaging language simply gets several stories longer.
Coors Light: Keeping Texas Chill
Mountain imagery, the Texas silhouette and a can big enough to read across a parking lot make the message obvious before the audience studies a single detail. “Keeping Texas Chill” localizes a national brand without giving up the familiar Coors Light visual language.
Simply Spiked: It’s Getting Juicy
The moving semi turns a product tagline into roadside theater. “It’s Getting Juicy” has been used in Simply Spiked advertising, and the trailer makes the line visible long before the viewer reaches the product aisle.
Corona USA – University of Texas Football Mascot "Bevo"
Few sports properties have a physical shape as recognizable as UFC’s Octagon; UFC itself describes it as a hallmark of the brand. Bringing that cage into a supermarket turns an ordinary retail aisle into a miniature fight-night experience, while the Bud Light/UFC partnership has specifically used Octagon-shaped retail displays to carry the sports experience into stores. UFC Octagon – Dana White, CEO and President – El Rancho Supermercado, Texas #HornsUP

Shiner Beer Gigantic Football Helmet SuperBowl LIX
Shiner’s gigantic football helmet takes the brewery’s Texas identity and makes it physically impossible to overlook. The brand leans heavily into being independently brewed in Shiner, Texas, with messaging like “It’s a Texas Thing” and “Small Town, Big Dreams,” so an oversized football icon fits naturally with its Texas-sized, hometown-proud personality.
Extreme Branding at its finest - Everything's bigger in Texas - Gigantic
#Football Helmet just in time for
#SuperBowlLIX
Red Bull’s visual language is strong enough to travel across very different vehicles without losing recognition. The existing MINI and these larger branded trucks show the same principle at two scales: recognizable brand assets plus an unusual vehicle become moving media.

The DXP is a case where the marketing object actually improves the service it advertises.

Kroger takes one of the most ordinary objects associated with grocery shopping—the reusable bag—and blows it up until it becomes advertising.

Before I dig too deep into the topic of Responsive Web Design (RWD), let's go back to a time period before the smartphone - back into the days of flip phones. The company website was one entity, updated by you or your webmaster - you simply could not access your companies website on a mobile phone. Then came the smartphone where you could actually surf the web and find your favorite restaurants and directions using Google Maps - you would simply pinch and zoom or swirl your finger across, up, and down the screen to see the website.
Smartphones and tablets are made for convenience - they are smaller and fit into small compartments - so the screens are much smaller than your traditional laptop or desktop computer which offers a pleasing viewing experience because they both have bigger screen sizes. Meanwhile, your website is one size - not taking into consideration the grown number of screen sizes. Houston we have a problem! Some small business owners have hired website designers and developers to create a mobile website - one that looks better on smaller screens. Mobile websites get the job done, but they also create a job - they double the amount of time necessary to update the content on two sites. Last I checked, time equals money. And let's not overlook the fact that most mobile websites often dilute your company branding efforts by limiting graphic content, structure, and overall user experience. Today your website can be more instinctive. Allowing you to upgrade your current site and ditch your mobile site. Responsive Web Design and development responds to the user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform, orientation and eliminates the need for a different design and development phase for each new gadget on the market. Even better, responsive web design allows you to use your marketing dollars on areas that increase your business's exposure instead of updating content on your current site and mobile site. Responsive web design is a real two-for-one deal. Responsive websites do not merely shrink-to-fit differing device sizes, instead, responsive web design becomes more flexible:
Enhanced user experience / easy reading and navigation
Instantly switches between portrait and landscape orientation
With an increasing number of people purchasing and using mobile devices to access the Internet, a higher percentage of visitors will access your website with a mobile phone or tablet. When they land on your website, I know you want them to have a rewarding experience. This requires a website that allows visitors to navigate and read content with the greatest of ease. Why would you create a custom Web design for each group of users; after all, architects don’t design buildings for each group size and type that passes through its doors and hallways? With responsive Web design, we create custom solutions for a wider range of users, on a wider range of devices, and making you more responsive about your website - customers will see you do care and are willing to be accommodating - no pinch, no zoom. Just right! When it boils down to it, you can ignore the evolution of technology or take advantage of a unified approach to content management and simplify internet marketing and SEO. In fact, Indie Media Club published 10 of the best content management software tools we could find on the market. They go beyond the definition of a content management system, and breakdown topics such as criteria in choosing the best content management system, key features of a good content management solution, and other web content management options – they quote 28 different sources in the article – it's quite authoritative, you may really find it helpful.
