Kodiak Campus Activation & Sampling Program

Kodiak engaged YMC to develop a nationwide college campus sampling program to generate awareness of the brand and product mix, drive traffic to campus retail partners, and acquire new Gen-Z customers. With a mix of event partnerships hosted at university recreation centers, fitness-oriented pop-ups at popular on-campus locations, campus ambassadors, and social content creation & sharing, Kodiak reached new consumers and drove demand across key retailers.

“Students enjoyed how fun and accessible the event was. We had a handful of first time Kodiak customers at the event, and we made sure to get them excited about the brand and products. The students loved learning about the convenience of Kodiak products and how it’s the perfect snack for busy college students! The star of the show had to be the Trucker Hats—they were gone within the first hour of the event!”
