These branded beverage events range from beer fundraisers to mobile champagne pop-ups that let visitors experience upscale food and beverage pairings, curated by renowned mixologists and chefs. In addition to interactive ads and social media marketing campaigns, beverage brands are banking on memorable experiences as a way to sell more products.
Appealing to millennial audiences, these branded beverage events include yoga workout sessions that are hosted by iconic beer brand Bud Light as well as whimsical croquet competitions like Pimm's #CrazyCroquet Course -- a pop-up that impressed travelers at London's Heathrow airport.
Strengthening consumer and brand relationships, these experiential events promote new products while simultaneously teaching participants about branded partnerships along with company philosophies and values.
