Make the partnership repeatable

POPUP originated and negotiated the Smorgasburg partnership, giving Rabble a recurring place within the market’s food and cultural community.

Make a first taste easy

Branded wine service and on-site engagement brought product discovery into a setting people already came to explore. The ongoing program extended beyond the Earth Day activations shown elsewhere in the Rabble collection.

The planning lesson

A recurring presence needs a dependable operating format. Decide what remains consistent in the service point, staffing and product presentation, then allow the visit to respond to the market's activity. Familiarity grows through encounters people can recognize and enjoy.

As part of Rabble’s multi-year program, POPUP originated the activation ideas, negotiated the cultural partnerships and delivered branded wine experiences with on-site support.
