Experential Events & Activations

CoVid19 Support Program

Since events & festivals have been put on hold to the current pandemic, we developed a brand solution to help restaurants & venues while still allowing samplings and brand exposure.

You might be wondering how are we helping brands get through the COVID-19 pandemic. We created the Neighborhood GIFT Program (G.I.F.T = Get Involved for Tomorrow). Building trust and loyalty within the fabric of the community brick by brick.

So, what exactly is the GIFT Program? Well, as events across North American continue to get postponed or cancelled this summer & fall our team created a turnkey solution for companies so they can move forward during these unsettling times. While still following the local, federal and CDC guidelines restricting large gatherings. This gives your company the ability to engage customers / lead gen while also being socially responsible.
