MARKETING STRATEGY

Brands You Want to Bite

Why do some products feel irresistible before you even try them? Think Rhode’s caramel-drizzled lip balms and Jacquemus' butter-stacked visuals, they both tap into something deeper than aesthetics—they trigger craving.

Brands are using sensory marketing to spark instant desire, from food-inspired packaging to ASMR-worthy textures. Touch, scent, and even sound are shaping how we shop, making products feel indulgent before they even land in our hands.

This shift is about the science of attraction.
