Concept

Production Theory worked with the Zappos team to create a custom activation that fit both the festival and their desired audience at one of Las Vegas' largest festivals, the Great Vegas Festival of Beer.

Based on a long tradition of pretzel necklaces paired with beer at festivals,  Zappos.com Pretzel Brewtique was one part fun and the other part high-end luxury retailer. A fun play on a high-end jewelry store that ‘fitted’ and sold fun and creative twists on a beer festival staple: pretzel necklaces. We created a custom buildout and decor that drew a crowd of buyers, encouraged media coverage and social buzz, and supported a local non-profit partner to benefit from all Brewtique proceeds.
