You want to go out to a friends costume party but can't think of any costume ideas. Don't try to squeeze into that Robin Hood or Cinderella costume you got 10 years ago. Instead, consider one of these 10 Halloween costumes for marketers and let your creativity shine!  ## **Firefox** ![Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/hs-fs/file-1971722784-jpg/BLOG_IMAGES/13b08a5b825ac55e4cfcdb65e61ac7ee.jpg?width=295&name=13b08a5b825ac55e4cfcdb65e61ac7ee.jpg "Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers")This costume requires a little bit more work, but if you decide to go with Firefox, you'll be an instant hit! [Inbound Marketing](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/blog/inbound-marketing-vs-outbound-marketing) correlates with Internet browsers like peanut butter & jelly, so why not decide to go as one! Remember, the longer the tail and bigger the world, the more of a hit you'll be! ## **Lily** ![Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/hs-fs/file-1973073501-png/BLOG_IMAGES/att_new_iphone_flashback_ss_02.jpg__688%C3%97400_.png?width=282&name=att_new_iphone_flashback_ss_02.jpg__688%C3%97400_.png "Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers")Who doesn't love the AT&T girl? If you're a cute short girl with brown hair and rosy cheeks then going as "Lily" is as simple as getting a fit button up shirt, khakis, and a tag with the name "Lily" on it and you're good to go! ## **Flo** ![Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/hs-fs/file-1969214883-png/BLOG_IMAGES/flo_progressive_insurance.png?width=191&name=flo_progressive_insurance.png "Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers")This one may be a couple of seasons old but at the end of the day who wouldn't recognize Flo the Progressive chick? What should be a staple in the Halloween costumes for marketers repertoire, Flo's all white costume may require you to get a couple of things, but it's really not something that wouldn't work in any outfit any other time of the year! ##  **Mac** ![Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/hs-fs/file-1973635100-png/BLOG_IMAGES/mac_pc_ads.gif__550%C3%97353_.png?width=150&name=mac_pc_ads.gif__550%C3%97353_.png "Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers")This one is pretty sweet for slinky, suave looking young guys. Going as Justin Long, the "Mac" from Apple's earlier commercials is another one that's withstood the tests of time in Halloween costumes for marketers. Of course it's also super easy to achieve that Mac "look" (for some) just jeans and a long sleeved t-shirt will do the deed. ## **PC** ![Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/hs-fs/file-1971245879-png/BLOG_IMAGES/im_a_pc.png?width=150&height=427&name=im_a_pc.png "Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers")If you're more like the rest of the world and you are more awkward than suave, going as a PC could be something of a hoot. The John Hodgman character is usually wearing some kind of a second hand looking suit jacket, sometimes with a tie, sometimes not. But glasses and matted down hair are certainly going to be a big part of the outfit. ## **Gordon Gekko** ![Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/hs-fs/file-1971306094-jpg/BLOG_IMAGES/Gordon_Gekko.jpg?width=200&name=Gordon_Gekko.jpg "Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers")"Greed is good," said Michael Douglas a long long time ago. The "Gordon Gekko" look in terms of Halloween costumes for marketers makes total sense. If you're an older guy or you can make yourself look a little older, wily and maybe a little crazy then the Gekko idea is a great one. You need to have a great looking suit. If you don't have a good suit then going out for Halloween this year can be a great excuse to get one! ## **Bobby Flay** ![Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/hs-fs/file-1972979402-jpg/BLOG_IMAGES/bobby-flay.jpg?width=200&name=bobby-flay.jpg "Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers")Another more nuanced look for guys might be someone like Bobby Flay. The Food Network star is the king televised food marketing and his look is refined and muted. You could wear a chefs apron and walk around with some tongs or something; just make sure if it's Bobby Flay that you bring the heat! As an aside you can be any of these Food Network personalities depending on your look and gender: Giada De Laurentiis, Ann Burrell, Alton Brown or any of the rest of these television celebrities.  ## **Jim Cramer** ![Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/hs-fs/hub/211174/file-1973840385.jpg?width=275&name=file-1973840385.jpg "Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers") ## **Spam** ![Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/hs-fs/file-1971521934-jpg/BLOG_IMAGES/spam_costume.jpg?width=200&height=267&name=spam_costume.jpg "Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers")If you could have been a coffee bean you also could have been a can of Spam. This one takes a little bit of effort also but it's a lot of fun. You can make a big can of spam and you can have something to wear to any of your aggressive marketing meetings. If you have kids or an artistic spouse you can have them help you get the most out of your Halloween costume idea with this one. Of course then you have to always be thinking about Spam, which is never a good idea. Bloody Vikings! (+1 to you if you get the reference!) ## **Starbucks Bean/Cup** ![Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers](https://marketing.thedsmgroup.com/hs-fs/file-1973494610-jpg/BLOG_IMAGES/starbucks_cup_costume.jpg?width=211&name=starbucks_cup_costume.jpg "Halloween Costume Ideas For Marketers")Coffee and marketing goes together hand-in-hand! Although this one may require a little bit of effort, going as a Starbucks coffee bean is certainly better than going as the Starbucks Siren! Get some brown fabric and wrap yourself in it. And voila! You're a coffee bean. If you're feeling extra creative (and if you have more time on your hands), you could also make a Starbucks coffee cup, cause let's face it, everyone can recognize that!    Any of these Halloween costumes for marketers can be accomplished with minimal effort and maximum fun. **What are some ideas not included here?
