The mission

Brain Juice Collective was appointed the exclusive marketing partner for the Asian Premiere of Soufra, the first social impact film to premiere in Asia through Singapore. Presented by Air Amber and Rebelhouse Asia, we were tasked with a range of responsibilities including event management, illustration, design, videography and managing public relations.

The event broke sales records for all partners involved in the pop-up, raised more than $85,000 for the camp and earned a raw ad value of $1.5M (excluding ongoing international coverage and data we do not have), millions of impressions with features in BBC World News, The Straits Times, and more.

The Brain Juice approach

A. Event Management

Logistics, collaterals and vendors were managed by Brain Juice Collective prior to and during the premiere weekend. Payments were done through RFID wristbands from PouchNation, a cashless payment sponsor acquired through Brain Juice Collective.
