Success Stories

What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

The activation platform made it so easy to coordinate everything from setup to cleanup. We hosted a gear company sampling their new hydration packs, and our participants were thrilled to test equipment in real race conditions. The revenue share was fair, and it actually enhanced the overall experience rather than feeling like a commercial interruption.

We partnered with a nutrition brand for a sampling activation at our flagship ultra-marathon event, and the engagement was incredible. Runners were genuinely interested in trying new products mid-race, and it created a natural touchpoint that felt organic to the event. The brand even committed to sponsoring our next three races based on the positive response.
