When major global brands want to drive consumer action on the streets of New York City, they look to book food truck promotions to capture maximum attention. Recently, our experiential marketing agency had the opportunity to execute a high-profile branded food truck campaign in NYC, partnering with Nike to celebrate the New York Knicks’ historic NBA championship win.
This activation perfectly demonstrates how quickly a brand can move from concept to street-level execution when partnering with the right food truck marketing company.
With only a few days to prepare, speed, precise coordination, and flawless execution were critical.

By Sunday morning, we finalized the food truck rental agreement, confirmed the serving quantities, and approved the custom menu.
