Drinks Brand Activation
We make drinks brand activation easy.
Our national reach, via three strategic hubs, logistical expertise and understanding of ROI, managed under one roof means we solve the problem of costly, multi-agency delivery.
This joined up approach has been pivotal to brands and distributers alike, creating a solution that offers consistency of delivery, national reach and more mileage for marketing spend.
Clients include Edrington-Beam Suntory, Cellar Trends, Quintessential Brands, Stripe Communications, Red Bull, M&C Saatchi, the Moda Operandi brand activation, and Project Farm.
"It was a great event and we certainly raised awareness of the two brands to an engaged audience. Great working with you all - the dream team!”

The great thing about The Cocktail Service is being able to trust them to deliver. I never felt like I needed to manage or that the job was not getting done.

Making Brand Activations Easy
With decades of experience you can trust us to know what works and what doesn’t.
Once we have your brief, we’ll suggest a range of options to deliver the results you need.
It's All About People
Our people, whether project managing from our head office or field based delivering our activation projects, are critical to our agency. Underpinning every successful activation are the people. For an example of another activation, see the Japanese gin activation.
The experience and communication of our planning teams, the matching of brands with relevant bar teams, through to the execution and consumer engagement in the live environment, we look at every detail.
In fact, our people are so important we have developed industry standard bar training and education programmes through online and live learning.
We use cloud based staffing management programmes that utilise detailed personal profiling of our people, ensuring we are able to match our teams to the right brands on brief.

Our Network
We talk about our network a lot but with good reason.
Over the last decade, TCS has developed a network that is on a national scale, integrating three national hubs, a vast database of the leading drinks specialists and a supplier network that is tried and tested.
This network allows us to deliver the hundreds of events and projects that we do annually, with varying complexity and brand KPIs. As an agency this has made us an essential partner to so many brands.
We understand creativity, innovation and design as well as logistics, operations and delivery to an equal extent.
What this means for our clients is a solution to their problems which joins the dots, saves marketing budget and delivers quality activations every time.
