Real feedback from brands that have activated at Chicago International Film Festival locations
Our festival attendees, guests, and members loved Heineken Silver! We had actors and filmmakers from the US and outside of the US, such as Ireland, really express their enjoyment of the product. People were joking "you can't even taste the alcohol, it's so light!" Our founders were saying they enjoyed being able to have an alcoholic beverage before a film screening without feeling bloated or sleepy. Folks who enjoyed Heineken and had never had Silver, said it didn't compromise the flavor they already love when they tried it.
We were skeptical about product sampling at first, but the craft coffee brand that activated with us really resonated with our film-loving crowd. The samples drove genuine repeat business—we've had customers coming back specifically asking for that brand, and it's become our top-selling item at the counter now.
Working with this platform to host a premium spirits sampling activation during our festival was fantastic—it brought in an entirely new demographic of affluent consumers who stayed for multiple films and spent significantly at our concession stand. The activation felt natural within our festival environment, and we've already booked three more brand partnerships for next year based on the success of this one.
