Amidst the high-energy environment of Miami's Super Bowl weekend, the unconventional wine brand BABE aimed to capture widespread attention and engrain itself in the cultural landscape. The challenge was not just to be seen, but to become a cultural talking point, leveraging the Super Bowl's massive audience to create a buzz-worthy spectacle that resonated well beyond the event itself.

To transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, POPLIFE embraced Miami's rich car culture and its love for vibrant celebrations. Our strategy was to convert a mundane Wynwood car wash into a pink-themed paradise that not only celebrated the spirit of Babe wine but also tapped into the city’s penchant for Instagrammable moments. The event was designed to be a sensory overload of fun, freedom, and unapologetic self-expression.
