Client Spotlight: Blue Moon Experiential Activation

To bring the "Made Brighter" campaign to life on Danforth Avenue, we engineered a custom, vibrant blue-and-orange streetscape structure complete with interactive elements.

1. Interactive Swing Photo Backdrop

We built a custom Blue Moon photo wall featuring 3D cutouts of oversized beer glasses with orange slice accents, a wooden swing seat, and built-in, code-compliant handwashing stations for guest convenience.

2. "Made Brighter" Sampling Kiosk (Front Elevation)

A custom-fabricated, heavy-duty sampling station featuring "Made Brighter" overhead headers, circular branding badges, faux citrus trees, and clear Non-Alcoholic messaging to showcase product versatility.

3. High-Traffic Corner Kiosk & Menu Station

Designed for maximum corner visibility along the sidewalk, the kiosk included integrated bar counters, citrus garland overhangs, and branded A-frame menu boards displaying the full beer lineup.

Key Takeaway: By combining interactive photo moments (the swing wall) with a functional, high-throughput sampling kiosk, Blue Moon delivered a refreshing, memorable touchpoint at Taste of the Danforth 2026.
