WELCOME TO BREW STREET, USA

EA was excited to partner with Molson Coors to create their annual brand reception. We dug right in, understanding the goals of the event and learnings from previous ones. Our research and strategy would lay the foundation for success. By creating an immersive experience that featured 22 distinctly branded booths.

Molson Coors' annual brand reception is a chance for distributors and employees to come together to toast successes and plan for the future. We created a vibe that brought the 20+ brand experiences together into one cohesive, themed environment.
