What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The activation brought in so much energy to our 5K event—participants were genuinely excited to sample the products, and it gave us a legitimate reason to extend post-race engagement. We've already booked another brand partnership for next quarter because attendees are still talking about it.

What impressed me most was how seamlessly the sampling fit into our race day logistics. The brand was professional, the setup was clean, and our runners appreciated the free samples at the finish line. It also generated some unexpected sponsorship revenue that offset our event costs.

UR

Urban Trail Collective

Venue Partner

This was our first time doing a brand activation, and honestly, I was nervous about it feeling too commercial. But the brand we worked with was genuinely aligned with our community values, and the sampling stations became a natural gathering spot for conversation and connection. Our runners felt valued, not marketed to.
