Brand Besties

Gig Overview: Brand Besties is teaming up with the Texas Department of Transportation for the “Drive Sober. No Regrets.” SWID Labor Day campaign, bringing impaired driving education directly to college campuses. We're booking 4 Brand Ambassadors for an engaging outdoor activation in Commerce featuring TxDOT's newest outreach vehicle, a fully redesigned truck built to educate the public on impaired driving, including alcohol, THC, and other drugs. The activation includes an arcade style driving simulator, cornhole, an “Operation” style hand-eye coordination game, and video displays and quizzes, all experienced while wearing alcohol and THC impairment goggles. The goal is simple: remind students and campus visitors that any high is a DWI, and that planning a sober ride ahead of time is always the right call. Of the 4 Brand Ambassadors booked for this activation, 3 will be stationed at the activation footprint engaging guests at the simulator, impairment goggles station, and games, while 1 will focus on collecting participant feedback surveys. If you love connecting with people, care about safety messaging, and want to be part of a high-energy outdoor activation, this opportunity is for you.
