Boost’s alignment with A3C from a brand positioning, community engagement and continuous cultural support exceed my highest expectations. Bijan Kazemi//Boost Mobile
Our brand benefitted greatly because we were able to take advantage of the full week of events. Per the suggestion of the A3C team, beginning our activation/branding opportunities on Wednesday and stamping that presence in full until Sunday, we made a strong impression by the week’s end and introduced new faces to the brand which is always our top goal. It aligned perfectly with generating new news for our fleets as well. Lauren Gaspard// Burrell Communications
