Drinks sampling for Gen Z

We connect drinks brands with Gen Z.

We activate brands end-to-end inside hospitality, sport and live events: culturally relevant campaigns that create memorable experiences, driving trial, awareness and measurable impact.

A better way
to sample

What you get

Your drink in a real occasion, with the data to prove it

  • Contextual sell

    Aperitivo at the table. Lager in the garden. The room does the persuading.

  • Demographic targeting

    Pick the venue, the city and the day part. That picks the audience.

  • Strong measurement

    Feedback, attribution and benchmarks, reported per campaign.

More reasons
  • Dwell time with the product

    A sit-down, a round, a night in. Time to form a view, not a reflex.

  • Product association

    Be seen in the room you want to be seen in.

  • Connect with culture

    The rooms Gen Z chooses, when they choose them. Not their inbox.

For venues

How it works

How we
do it

The product

We match the brand to the room, manage everything in between and measure what came back.

Match

Brands that need each other. Your drink, the venues where it lands. You approve every match.

Manage

Everything in between. Stock, serve, team briefing, point of sale and the mechanic that brings guests back.

Measure

What came back. Cost per trial, redemption and feedback for you. Covers and spend for the venue.

Formats

Pick where
it gets served

Three productised formats. You choose the room, we build the campaign around it.

In venue

Deepest

Served as part of the occasion. Team briefed, serve specced. Positioning, feedback and dwell time.

Restaurants, pubs, bars, hotels, gyms
Welcome serve, menu pairing, post-class serve, room drop

Delivery

Broadest

In the bag with a card and a code, tried at home with the meal. Nothing asked of the kitchen. Volume, new markets and a clean read on redemption.

Sport and live

Loudest

Stadiums, fan zones, festivals. A crowd, a moment, a reason to post. Awareness at scale and content you can reuse.

Matching

Matched to
the right audience

The venues whose room, audience and occasion make the sample land. Two ways it works.

Established brand

We put you in the small, culturally hot venues

The ramen bar with a queue down the street. The bar everyone posts from. You borrow their culture. They get a name their guests trust.

Emerging brand

We put you across the large, high-volume groups

A national restaurant or pub estate. You borrow their reach and open a listings conversation. They get new news at scale.

How a match is chosen

Room, audience, occasion

Italian aperitivo, Italian restaurant. Recovery drink, gym. The venue has to make sense for the product first.

What you approve

The venues, the serve, the dates, the mechanic

Nothing is poured until you sign off the list, the serve and the offer that brings guests back. Then we run it.

Why us

By Gen Z,
for Gen Z

Gen Z is the audience every drinks brand is chasing and the hardest to reach. Taste was built by that audience, from inside hospitality.

“Taste was founded by a member of the market it serves. I know where Gen Z goes, what we order and what gets us to try something new.”
