That’s the sound of great coffee in the making! ☕

In the 'Surprisingly Good Coffee Every Time' campaign, we worked with Jarrah Coffee and comedian @jimmyrees_ to bring the sounds and taste of Jarrah’s new 3-in-1 Cappuccino to life. On Tuesday, International Coffee Day, we surprised Melburnians with free coffee at our pop-up outside the State Library Victoria.

We loved helping Jarrah bring their coffee to life—just like their new cappuccinos, it’s always surprisingly good!

Taking the brand outside the store means we can meet shoppers right where they are—whether they're strolling through a mall, catching a train, or hanging out at an event. 🎯 

Out-of-store sampling lets us be flexible and creative in high-traffic places, putting products into hands at the perfect moment. 🙌

Our team loves planning these activations, from site selection to talent recruitment. It’s all about making sure the experience is seamless, fun, and engaging! 🎉

Want to see how we do it? Check out more on our website (link in bio).

Rollin’ out in style! 🚚

Our food truck and roadshow activations are all about creating those buzz-worthy moments that people can’t help but share. Whether it’s a pop-up coffee van or a fully decked-out food truck, we bring the brand directly to the people for an unforgettable experience. 🚀

From design to logistics, it’s a full team effort to make sure every roadshow hits the mark. We’re all about making it as smooth and impactful as possible—plus, it’s always a fun ride along the way. 🎉

🌟 Bringing products to life in-store is what we do best! With our team on the ground across grocery, liquor, pharmacy and more, we create real connections when shoppers are ready to buy. It’s all about deep engagement hands-on moments that turn trial into purchase 🙌

Each activation is a collaboration between our passionate teams, our client partners, and of course, the shoppers who get to experience something new. We love being a part of that journey and making every campaign count. 

You can find out more about our in store sampling offer on our website (check out our bio).

At Mars United℠ Commerce ANZ, we're all about getting products into the right hands—and bathrooms! Our recent campaign for @bref_anz Rim Blocks did just that:
👉 20k samples handed out across 4 targeted in-mall sessions.
👉 30k samples delivered straight to Aussie bathrooms with @jimscleaninggroup.au 

Freshness? We’ve got it covered! 💥 It’s been amazing to see Aussies respond with excitement as we helped keep their bathrooms fresh. From the shopping mindset to home, we're all about meeting people where it matters. 

Looking to add a fresh twist to your next campaign? DM us to see how we can make tactical sampling fun with engaging brand experiences.
🧑‍🍳🍽️ When work meets passion: Mars United Commerce’s Global Citizenship Day!

Our teams across Australia and New Zealand joined a global effort with Mars United to swap desks for aprons and get hands-on with some amazing community projects as part of our Global Citizenship Day. And let’s just say, we had a blast! 🎉

In @ozharvest ’s kitchen, our Aussie crew turned food waste into gourmet meals, whipping up everything from kofta to cacciatore. The best part? We got to taste-test before sending out 240 meals to local communities, saving 120 kgs of food from landfill, and cutting down 115 kgs of CO2 emissions. Not bad for a day’s work!

Meanwhile, our Kiwi team showed their muscle in the warehouse with the @nzfoodnetwork, packing 98 boxes and shifting 1,480 kgs of food—equivalent to 3,288 meals for those in need.

While we focus on the local impact, it’s awesome to be part of something bigger, knowing Mars United teams across the globe are making a difference. It was an epic day of teamwork, fun, and making a real impact. We couldn’t be prouder of our crew! 🌟

Over the last few months, @xpo_tma have been supporting the DON KRC Foodservice team in launching their ground-breaking new COOKT product. Our team developed the naming and branding for the new range along with a range of launch collateral. 

This led to a mouth-watering photoshoot to showcase the versatility of the amazing range of products with café and restaurant-inspired recipes for every single product. The tantalising results speak for themselves 😋

Here we are adding those final touches before we capture the mouth-watering Pulled Pork.
