We create something specifically for your brand, from entry to exit. For example, our client Rioja, Spain's most prominent wine region, came to Brady with a challenge to create a ground up Rioja Wine & Tapas Festival, something that would surpass their festivals in London and Mexico City. Going on five years, this is the biggest and most flavorful Spanish festival for the United States and Rioja. As a result, Rioja continues to be respected in the culinary industry for its authentic programming, special tastings, flights, food pairings, and good will amongst restaurants, media, sommeliers and wine professionals throughout the country. By tapping into the Taste Network, we succeeded taking a client’s dream to reality. We don’t need to tell you want we do, just tell us what you want and we can take it from there.
