Bastion's Bold Move: Launching a New Agency to Transform Beverage Brand Experiences

Bastion has launched a new division focused on brand management and event activations in the beverage sector. This initiative aims to provide comprehensive end-to-end solutions for beverage brands, enhancing their physical and sensory experiences. The new business unit has recruited twenty industry experts specializing in brand management and event activation to cater to both on- and off-premise needs.

By leveraging the existing resources of Bastion’s events division and creative team, the agency ensures that each consumer interaction is designed to enhance overall brand engagement. Managing Director Matt McCann expressed excitement about this new direction, emphasizing the importance of creating powerful, lasting memories through drinks.

Adding to their expertise, Bastion has appointed Alexandra O’Neil from Solotel as head of marketing, signaling their commitment to expanding their client roster in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. O’Neil noted the significance of having a dedicated team that understands the challenges within the beverage industry.

This strategic focus not only bridges the gap between drink strategy, trade advocacy, and consumer engagement but also marks a significant evolution in Bastion’s role as a full-service marketing agency within the alcohol, entertainment, and hospitality sectors.
