Clothing, footwear and accessory giants often team up with fashion designers to create a new collection, but collaborations of food brands and fashion are not that frequent. This fact makes people want to get such products even more. In Australia, Kellogg’s cereal brand Special K has unveiled a bag, which was created by fashion designer Kirrily Johnston, which became both the promotional piece and an item in designer’s new Spring/Summer collection presented at the Mercedes Benz Fashion. This handbag with a leather tassel is crafted for female consumers who always carry a snack with them wherever they go—it features a specially designed snack bar pocket, where ladies can keep her Special K snack bar.

Now that spring is to arrive in two weeks, all the 2012 New Year celebrations and news about them are left behind, but there’s another New Year marketing project, which is worth mentioning. China celebrated Spring Festival, its national New Year on January 23, and to mark the occasion, PepsiCo launched a lovely campaign dubbed ‘Bring Happiness Home,’ encouraging its consumers and fellow colleagues to go and celebrate the holiday with their family and special ones.

Walkers has kicked off a new promotion dubbed ‘What’s That Flavour?’ and dedicated to the launch of three new flavours, inspired by much-loved British ingredients and recipes. The brand encourages the British consumers to try and guess the flavours for a chance to be entered into a draw in case they manage to identify each of the three new names correctly (so far they are Mystery Flavour A, B or C), and walk away with £50,000.
