THE
Summer is not officially over, yet evenings are growing cooler, and suddenly everything feels a little cozier. September has a special energy that is hard to resist. The city slows down just enough to make space for coffee dates, layered outfits, and the kind of storytelling that feels warm and nostalgic. It is a time of transition, and that makes it the perfect playground for digital creativity. When the seasons shift, so do the moods of audiences, and this is where trends become more than entertainment.
At By A Management, we love this moment in the calendar because it is filled with possibility. Content does not just showcase products, it sets a tone. It becomes a seasonal mood board that tells audiences how to feel, what to look forward to, and which rituals to embrace. September is not only about capturing the pumpkin-spice aesthetic, it is about leaning into storytelling that feels rich, layered, and scroll-stopping. This month’s trend report is all about showing you what is working, why it resonates, and how you can use it to connect with your audience in a way that feels both natural and elevated.
A New Season Has Begun

This trend is all about mood-setting. Creators are pairing an autumn-inspired sound with clips of simple but intimate moments — the first pumpkin latte of the year, golden leaves in the park, or quiet mornings wrapped in a blanket. The result is content that instantly signals, “fall has arrived.”
Why it connects
It works because it blends atmosphere with storytelling. Audiences are not just watching a video, they are experiencing the feeling of autumn in real time.

Styled Fridge
The everyday fridge or shelf is no longer just storage. Instead, it is becoming a curated stage for creativity — a world built out of fruit, sneakers, skincare, or handbags. The magic is in the playful setups that transform the ordinary into something aspirational and beautifully composed.
Why it connects
Audiences love context as much as the product itself. This approach turns the setting into part of the story, creating an immersive and eye-catching moment that feels fresh and unexpected.

I Am An Autumn
This trend comes back every year! Set to the nostalgic backdrop of the Gilmore Girls soundtrack, creators are sharing their seasonal must-haves. From statement boots and cozy recipes to the ever-iconic pumpkin spice latte, this trend serves as a collective autumn mood board.
Why it connects
It taps directly into nostalgia while offering an easy format for brands to showcase their seasonal offerings in a way that feels authentic and warm.

Autumn Feels
Before fall is in full swing, creators are leaning into visuals that celebrate anticipation: earthy tones, layered textures, and the cozy promise of seasonal rituals. It is less about what is happening now and more about sparking excitement for what is around the corner.
Why it connects
This trend thrives because it combines familiarity with longing. It makes audiences eager for the season ahead, while surrounding them with visuals that feel both comforting and shareable.

Inspired by cinematic storytelling, these reels begin with a dramatic setup — a problem, a bold statement, or an awkward scenario — followed by the iconic “Directed by Robert B. Weide” frame, leading into an amusing or surprising reveal. It is a structure that feels theatrical yet approachable.
Why it connects
The format balances humor, drama, and surprise. It is versatile enough for product launches, brand stories, or playful recaps, and it keeps audiences watching until the end.

Why Should You Join These Trends?
Because they matter. Each of these trends has found its place as a cultural shorthand — instantly recognizable, emotionally engaging, and easy to share. They offer brands the chance to feel current without forcing it, to highlight products in ways that feel natural, and to meet audiences in the moments that already resonate with them.
This September, lean into the cozy, the cinematic, and the playful. Your content will not only keep pace with the season, it will capture the spirit of it.
