Sample Case Study
A craft brewery wanted to build community connections in their local market while differentiating from larger competitors.
The small brand had limited marketing resources but needed to make a meaningful impact against national competitors with much bigger budgets. Their taproom was popular, but they struggled to extend brand awareness beyond their core customers.
The team used the Experiential Activation project to develop a unique concept called "Brew Street Studios" – a series of pop-up sidewalk painting sessions where community members created street art using specially crafted paint containing their signature beer as an ingredient. The experience included participatory elements for all skill levels, sensory engagement through art and beer tasting, and a "community canvas" star moment where individual contributions formed a larger neighborhood artwork. The activation generated significant local buzz while creating distinctive visual content the brewery used in marketing materials long after the event.
