To promote its venture, the brand organized a [temporary pop-up in London](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fentimans-pop-up) titled 'The Great [Cherry Bake Off](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phlur-and-space-nk).' Timed to coincide with the finale of the popular television baking competition, Humantra's event featured social media influencers who participated in a [cherry-themed baking contest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experiential-flavor-campaigns) judged by a Mary Berry lookalike – playfully referred to as Mary Cherry. With its hands-on pop-up experience, Humantra not only called attention to its Black Cherry flavor but also fostered community engagement and generated online discussion, with attendees sampling the product and related non-alcoholic beverages. Humantra Founder and CEO, Charlie Wright, shared: “To celebrate such a big moment for the brand, we wanted to create a culturally relevant activation that would generate a buzz on socials and hype around the relaunch. The Great Cherry Bake Off is all about celebrating creativity, community, and the joy of great taste – the values at the heart of Humantra."
