San Miguel music events

This is a good example of how to create a unique sponsorship experience, it can be difficult to achieve penetration and stand out in the realms of music sponsorship and thus you have to constantly look to find new ways of delivering the sponsorship to the consumer.

Similar to the innocent village fete, this festival will draw punters in and give them a full brand experience, creating an event that will appeal to all the senses. Phipps work with some great brands food brands such as Green & Black’s and Kettle chips and I’ve no doubt this Rioja festival will be a great hit.

Village Fete

Congragulations to the guys in innocent with the announcement of their second village fete, it’s an excellent concept and one that really strengthens the innocent brand. I wouldn’t be surprised to see something akin to the Regents park event cropping up on these shores within the next couple of years.
