The Velvet Room Cinema Lounge

Brand Partner

As an event space, we're always looking for ways to add value for our clients and create memorable experiences. Hosting a brand activation during the festival gave us an additional revenue stream and positioned us as a community-forward venue. Plus, seeing our space full of engaged people discovering new products felt really aligned with our mission.

Threshold Creative Collective

Brand Partner

Working with Blackbird Film Fest to host a brand activation brought in crowds we wouldn't normally see on a Thursday evening, which honestly helped offset our slower mid-week slump. The brand partner was professional and their sampling complemented our menu perfectly. We're definitely interested in doing this again.
