This week’s “Can They Brand That?” episode has an attitude of gratitude because we gave our typical brand-centric brainstorm a fun, festive twist by focusing our 20 minutes on branding Thanksgiving. Yep, that’s the whole bit. From slogans for specific dishes, to broader concepts on what the holiday represents and includes, you could say we were on a casserole coming up with a cornucopia of great ideas. (It’s also one of the most loosey-goosey ones yet, which is really saying something.) Happy Thanksgiving, ya turkeys!
