EVENTS
Marketing teams from studios like Lionsgate, Paramount, and Universal reached out to collaborate on promoting their upcoming horror films because of our relationship with horror fans. The developed brand identity also aligned with the studio’s professional marketing. I created custom drinks based on each film and offered them for a limited weekend. The success of these partnerships skyrocketed the success and engagement of Horror Vibes Coffee.
