Case Study · PUMA Rolling Nations

Domino Square, Williamsburg, Brooklyn — March 2026

1,000+ attendees. 40-minute setup. Two branded service points tied to the campaign story.

Basileia Coffee supported PUMA's Rolling Nations kit reveal — a public World Cup block party unveiling kits for 11 national teams. We built two distinct hospitality concepts, representing New Zealand and Austria with fully branded service points, custom menus, and a fast operational footprint designed for a four-hour public event.

Why It Works

Coffee is the moment guests stop for.

A branded coffee station does something a static display can't — it gives people a reason to pause, engage, and spend real time inside your brand experience. For the PUMA activation, the service felt integrated into the larger visual environment rather than reading like a third-party vendor add-on, and every operational decision was made to support speed, visibility, and guest experience.
