Borough After Dark

New York City: Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens

A sequence of illuminated neighborhood counters that trades a useful night-shift ritual for a two-minute product story.

Borough After Dark campaign blueprintCampaign
The brief

Introduce a cold-brew concentrate to late-shift workers without reducing the product to another curbside sample.

Audience / Hospitality teams, healthcare workers, production crews, and other New Yorkers beginning or ending work after 7 p.m.

01

Counters open near late-night transit exchanges from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., with each borough menu tuned to nearby shift patterns.

02

Guests choose a pace card—steady, sharp, or slow-burn—then watch an ambassador mix the corresponding serve while explaining dilution and caffeine control.

03

A receipt-sized Night Map lists dependable 24-hour neighborhood stops and carries a unique offer for a first online order.

04

Field teams log occupation window, chosen serve, dwell time, and opt-in action without collecting sensitive employment data.
