Halloween might be here, but it’s far from over.

‘Make Your Own Kind Of Music’

A bit different, but perfect for founder-led brands.
 
Jump on this trend, that sees text overlay say “what are you going to do with a degree in X?”. Typically, it’s a discipline the speaker didn’t go into or one that’s unjustly underestimated – like fashion, communications, and beauty. Show clips of the speaker smashing their career and brand building after this, showing their success despite the doubts of others.

‘My Love, Mine All Mine’

This romantic track is made for sharing the hacks and products people can’t live without.
 
Share the secret to getting that perfect eyeliner wing, styling every autumn look, or the everyday make-up routine you can’t live without. Whatever you share, it’s “your love, yours – all yours”, according to the audio.

‘Urm, I like, Serve’

A classic Harry Styles audio has made a comeback. It’s not one you’d guess, though.
 
As Harry’s first interview on the X Factor plays, he’s asked what he does in his bakery job. He shares that he “like, serves”. Remixed with a Kesha hit, the beat drops from there as the person on screen delivers their own serve – a beauty win or an outfit transition, most commonly.
