We conceptualised and constructed a one-of-a-kind competition series named the "Downtown Open," a rail-jam-style event that can be seamlessly implemented in the heart of Denver. The competition featured 22 of the world's finest snowboarders and skiers who demonstrated their skills on a 90ft slope, complete with customized rail features. Our event was hosted by Jack Mitrani, a Pacifico brand ambassador and an X Games icon. To ensure maximum attendance, we added musical performances by Denver natives, Option4 and SoDown, which enhanced the event's appeal. The Denver Ski/Snow fans, competing athletes, and local media all appreciated the event, with the first-ever Downtown Open receiving rave reviews. Following the successful launch, Pacifico requested us to develop a tour-based model for the Downtown Open, which became a national event series. The second iteration was held virtually in Chicago in October.

After the success of Downtown Open Denver and the cancellation of Summer X Games, fans of live action sports were left yearning for more. Pacifico once again stepped up to the challenge in a pandemic year where in-person events were not possible. We took over a warehouse space in Chicago and brought in six of the biggest skaters in the world to compete in an unprecedented elevated game of S.K.A.T.E. To add credibility to the event, we partnered with Transworld Skateboarding, an iconic media entity in action sports, and Transition Productions, the production house responsible for Jackass, Nitro Circus, and Dew Tour. The competition was live-streamed on Transworld's YouTube channel and Facebook pages, drawing a combined 230,000 live viewers.

We leveraged Pacifico's relationship with the action sports community as a way-in to authentically join the gaming world. To approach consumers as a fan, rather than a brand we utilized the buzz surrounding the release of Tony Hawk's remastered version of Pro Skater 1 & 2, we partnered with the skateboarding legend to activate a live stream where Tony challenged viewers to beat his high score in the game. Tapping IGN, a leading gaming media company, as our promotional partner, the execution seamlessly fit within their programming. Consumers who beat Tony's score were entered into a sweepstake for a chance to win a custom Pacifico-branded gaming set up and signed merch from Tony.

In 2019, Corona partnered with Ohio State Football for a tailgate promotion. However, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced all in-person events to be suspended, forcing Corona to pivot its strategy. Despite this, football games still took place, so we devised an innovative solution to remain at the forefront of the minds of mid-western consumers. The solution involved creating a retrofitted celebratory container that offered a range of prizes, from a 70-inch TV, to a SONOS sound system, to a customised sports locker filled with game day swag. The winners were treated to a memorable experience, complete with co2 cannons, laser lights, and music. The container tour lasted for 18 weeks during the entire 2020 NFL season, covering over 5,000 miles.

We built a partnership with streetwear boutique, R.S.V.P Gallery, to release a capsule collection honoring the 'Fighting Spirit' of Chicago sports. To embody this spirit, we signed an athlete from each of Chicago's four major sports to be our brand ambassadors and models. The capsule consisted of 7 branded items design by Chicago legend Don C. To support the collection and drive sales for Modelo, we executed a virtual sweepstakes experience for a chance to win the limited-edition capsules. This execution was leveraged across retail accounts in the city. Consumers were invited to enter the sweepstakes by way of a QR code that launched an immersive AR experience in which they can try on the apparel from their mobile phones.

Leveraging the already established EDM music platform we built for Corona years prior, we executed a cross-country Cinco De Mayo Benefit concert for the restaurant workers fund. Headlined by Diplo and Dillon Frances, the virtual festival made "stops' in 5 cities across the country: LA, DAL, CHI, MIA, NYC. Each stop was an hour-long performance by a local DJ- allowing Corona to own the airwaves all Cinco long. To further amplify the concert we produced and executed 9 #CincoAtHome seeding kits to major influencers who drove tune in with unboxing videos. Celebrities like Shaq and Becky G joined the fun by face timing into Diplo's live stream. We secured a partnership with LiveNation which pushed #CincoAtHome to the top of Twitter's trending topics for the entirety of Cinco De Mayo.

Conveying the significance of those who made the 501 their own and showing the evolution of the product. The 90s moment featured a content creation opportunity for guests to create a “meta-selfie” with audiovisual equipment from the decade. Finally, a hidden 90s bedroom was designed to be discovered serendipitously as word spread through the event for guests to visit. The room was red lit with posters and various nostalgic props to create a playground for content creation. The space was a homage to the 501’s enduring impact on 90s style and our audience’s nostalgic love of the era.
