Barefoot x NFL Draft House Brand Activation

Barefoot Wine x NFL Draft House Brand Activation | Pittsburgh Experiential Event Design

When Barefoot Wine, the Official Wine Sponsor of the NFL, brought their NFL Draft House experience to Pittsburgh, Kristen Kane Events was honored to bring the brand activation vision to life through creative experiential event design, custom décor, and professional event installation.

Located in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh’s Market Square, the Barefoot Wine x NFL Draft House transformed the space into an interactive football-inspired destination where fans could celebrate the excitement of the NFL Draft, capture memorable photos, and connect with the Barefoot Wine brand in a unique and engaging way.

As an experienced Pittsburgh event design and production company, Kristen Kane Events specializes in creating immersive environments that go beyond traditional event décor. Our team focuses on designing experiences that tell a story, encourage guest interaction, and create memorable moments that attendees want to share.

Designing an Immersive NFL Draft Experience

The goal of the Barefoot Wine x NFL Draft House activation was to create a space that captured the energy of football while incorporating the recognizable branding and personality of Barefoot Wine. Every design element was carefully selected to create a cohesive guest experience that felt authentic, interactive, and photo-worthy.

The space featured a custom football locker room-inspired photo opportunity where guests could step into the experience and capture their own NFL Draft moment. A large step-and-repeat featuring every NFL team provided another exciting photo opportunity, allowing football fans to celebrate their favorite teams while engaging with the brand.

To fully transform the environment, the walls were designed to resemble a football field with realistic grass textures and painted field lines. These elements created the foundation for the activation while allowing additional branded details to stand out throughout the space.

Layered throughout the design were football-inspired accents including branded jerseys, pom poms, and Pittsburgh’s iconic terrible towels with the Barefoot and NFL logos. These details added dimension and personality while creating a space that felt connected to both the NFL Draft and the Pittsburgh community.

Creating a Memorable Brand Experience

One of the most recognizable features of the activation was the 10-foot inflatable Barefoot Wine bottle, creating a larger-than-life photo opportunity for guests. Previously featured at the Super Bowl, this impressive branded element brought excitement and visibility to the space while giving attendees a unique opportunity to interact with the brand.

Additional football details were incorporated throughout the installation, including football plays drawn directly onto the walls to create an authentic playbook-inspired atmosphere. Barefoot Wine’s signature purple color was thoughtfully incorporated throughout the design, creating a cohesive visual experience that connected every element back to the brand.

From the large-scale installations to the smallest decorative details, every component worked together to create an environment that encouraged guests to stop, explore, take photos, and enjoy the experience.

Our team managed the design process, coordinated installation details, and ensured every element was executed with precision.
