What we do

Three ways to make it shine.

Live Swag Bars

01

Live Swag Bars

On-site presses where guests design and take home a custom piece — tees, totes, trucker hats, denim. The activation is the entertainment.

The process

How it works.

From first hello to last guest — a simple four-step roadmap.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    15 minutes. We learn the brand, the event, the goal, the budget. No deck required.

  2. 02

    Concept + quote

    Within 5 business days you get a written concept, a fixed quote, and a list of what we need from you.

  3. 03

    Build

    We source, customize, and ship the activation. You stay in the loop with one point of contact.

  4. 04

    Show up

    We arrive on-site, set up, run the experience, and pack out clean.

We can be on-site in any major North American market within 72 hours of a signed scope.

Good questions

The things everyone asks first.

Most live swag bars land between $2,500 and $12,000 depending on the piece guests take home, how many of them there are, and how long the bar runs. A press bar for 30 guests at a Mitzvah sits at the lower end; a multi-station brand activation with custom garments, branded packaging, and a full crew sits at the top. Every quote is flat and all-in — design, materials, on-site team, setup, and teardown — so there is no surprise line item the week of your event.

Six to eight weeks is the sweet spot. That gives us room for a discovery call, a concept round, and time to source and sample the actual pieces your guests will keep. Peak season — spring Mitzvahs, December brand parties — books three to four months out, so reach out early if your date is in those windows. If you are on a tighter timeline, ask anyway: we can be on-site in any major North American market within 72 hours of a signed scope.

We are based in Toronto and work across the GTA constantly, but we travel. Most of our work happens in Toronto, Montreal, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago, and we take on destination events worldwide. Travel, crew, and shipping are quoted transparently up front as their own line, so you always know exactly what the road adds.

Concept and design tailored to your brand, all custom materials and blanks, the branded bar build and signage, a trained on-site team running the station, setup and teardown, and a post-event recap with guest counts, pieces made, and content captured. Anything measurable is measured — that recap is how brands justify the spend the following year. Add-ons like photo capture, custom packaging, and rush production are quoted separately.

Still wondering something? Ask me directly — I read every note myself.
