VW @ Kaleidoscope Brand Activation
BRIEF
Grooveyard was tasked with designing and delivering an engaging campsite brand activation that immersed festival-goers in the California lifestyle. The experience needed to maximise dwell time, encourage interaction with the vehicles, and create a welcoming family-friendly environment that aligned with the Kaleidoscope Festival atmosphere.
