What Brands Are Saying

Real feedback from brands that have activated at Karen Kariv/Melissa Cooney locations

Overall, the beverage was well received and runners really appreciated having a cold Heineken Silver after their race. Sometimes beers at post-race can be too heavy and this offers a refreshing lighter alternative, but still has great taste.

HEINEKEN USA

Brand Partner

Working with Karen and Melissa to bring a major sports nutrition brand to our 5K was fantastic. The sampling station became one of the most popular stops on the course, and we heard from dozens of runners who said they'd actually switch to that product based on trying it that day. It also gave us great content for our social media and helped establish our event as a premium community experience.

Sunrise Marathon Events

Brand Partner

We were nervous about adding a brand activation to our annual charity 5K, but Karen and Melissa made the entire process seamless. The energy drink brand they connected us with fit perfectly with our audience, and it added about $8,000 to our fundraising total that year. Our participants felt the activation was genuine and not pushy, which actually enhanced rather than detracted from the race experience.
