This activation ran from January 30th through February 21st, 2026. It was Ancient + Brave's first out-of-home advertising campaign in the United States. The Live Bravely Pop-Up was designed to offer visitors hands-on engagement with the brand’s product line, which includes formulations focused on cognitive health, energy, performance, beauty, and longevity. The experience did so through a ritual bar featuring collaborations with local coffee and dining establishments, a water station for sampling, and a series of expert-led sessions such as breathwork, meditation, guided walks, and workshops. At Live Bravely, Ancient + Brave spotlighted the [True Creatine+](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatini1) for energy and focus, True Collagen made from EU-sourced hydrolyzed bovine collagen, and a newly introduced gut health formula called True Biome.
