What Venues Like You Are Saying
Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess
We partnered with a major beverage brand for a weekend sampling event, and it was fantastic for our community. Our residents were genuinely excited to try new products, and it created a real buzz around the complex that strengthened resident engagement. The activation team was professional and easy to work with, making the whole experience seamless from start to finish.
This new flavor had our resident's interest peaked for sure! This is exam week and they were REALLY excited about the Kraft showing up while they were studying and taking exams. Thank you! (It went fast!)
Everyone was excited about the new flavor! With exam week in full swing at Virginia Tech, this little pick-me-up was truly welcomed and appreciated by our residents. Several even mentioned that they’ve never been big Mountain Dew fans—but they loved the new Dragon Fruit flavor!
