BPN Fuel Station at Austin Marathon 2025

WATCH THE BUILD PROCESS HERE

From concept to execution this project took a total of 9 months. I pitched this concept to stand out from all of the noise that muddies up these expos. Not just another booth with pop up banners and a table, what if we made something that our customer could fully experience? We created a space for people that created a feeling of awe and joy, which has turned fringe consumers into diehard fans.

My biggest project to date is also my favorite thing ive ever done in my career. The bigness and scale was amazing to create but it was more so the details and tiny features that pulled it together. Hearing people ask how this was possible was confirmation of a job well done.

Initial design details with our fabrication team. Months of communication and tweaks went into finding the perfect balance for this look.
Interior of the Fuel Station. Designed to look like a 1980s New York City bodega with custom flooring, a "merch deli", and convenience check out that had a custom functioning lottery game, and Zyn inspired electrolyte pouches (fake product).
Hero element of our activation. Our first RTD, presented in a natural layout. Custom signage both on top and on windows helped to really sell the feeling that this was a drink you've seen a thousand times before, while also being new and exciting to
Functioning merch deli! I didnt want to just hang our shirts up like we always do. We created an experience for the customer to remember. They asked for their specific item and size and it was wrapped for them in butcher paper, just like your sub wou
An important detail here was the extras in layout. Why hide our backstock when the 7/11 would do differently? This really filled out our space and sold the feeling to the consumer.
The small details really brought this thing home.
Our team developed custom Newspaper covers that you would typically see. They looked normal upon first glance, but as you looked closer, each one was custom to our brand for this space.
Custom Pouch promotion to bring the authentic feel.
An extremely successful turnout. We increased our previous Revenue record for a weekend event by 230% with this activation.

BPN newstand at AIH Marathon 2025

This build out was designed specifically to point to the Austin Marathon Activation that happened less than a month later. We wanted to show up and have a great presence, while also teasing our biggest project to date. We created a custom newspaper to communicate about the debut of our first RTD, available only at the Austin Marathon. So the only logical step, was to build a street newsstand to get the word out. Watch the build out in the video below!
