AOL Programmatic Upfront

Kicking off Advertising Week in New York on September 23, AOL debuted an event that it called a “programmatic upfront." A giant white billboard on Skylight West plastered one of the event's themes—“It's Time"—in massive type. The campaign tagline was also incorporated through various aspects of the event design, including drink stirrers and catering trays.

In June, jewelry company Stella & Dot teamed up with liquor brand Midori to host a happy hour event on the rooftop of the London West Hollywood. Small shelves were built into the press wall in order to display emerald green accessories from the line alongside the green-colored booze.

In June, Skyy Vodka hosted Skyy and Sea, the official opening event to New York’s Governors Ball Music Festival, aboard the Hornblower Infinity yacht. The nautical theme was reflected in the event’s step-and-repeat: White shelves held bottles of vodka and branded lifesavers.

Also at the Skyy and Sea event, guests could spin a prize wheel to win items like a hat, a bikini, or sunglasses. The pointers on the wheel were made from empty Skyy bottles.
