Experiential Marketing with Food Trucks | Florida Brand Activations

In Florida, it get's hot, especially on artificial turf. We think this is one of the reasons sporting activations with a juice truck is just genius for the Tampa Bay area and really all of central Florida. When an athlete's endorphins are running high and they're excited and your trying to share your products with them a refreshing drink helps dial in those emotions and bring a sense of calm and relief and nothing anchors your brand like a brand activation with a food truck. A food truck activation generates the same kind of experience you want a customer to feel emotionally when they love your product and associate your brand with that high, that's the essence of why experiential marketing is so effective and frankly, it's addictive. Live events with interactive experiences make a lasting impression on your target audience few things make a better impression than food truck pop up marketing.
Once you see a client with that moment of magic on their face, you're going to keep chasing it. We've seen it and watched it play out. We're here to tell you, we can help you catch it. We love coming up with creative ways to put a prospect in a memorable moment that will change how they feel about your product or service.

Tampa Bay Food Trucks was fantastic to work with for our Gasparilla Invasion party at the Junior League of Tampa! The food received rave reviews from our attendees, and the portions were the perfect size for the event. Their team was also great about accommodating dietary restrictions and allergies, which we really appreciated. This was our second year using them, and we continue to come back because of their easy communication, reliability, and excellent service. Highly recommend for events!

We used Tampa Bay Food Trucks for our wedding at Uliana Estate in Lakeland, and they were incredible! Kim Sanders helped us throughout the entire process and made everything so easy. She listened to what we wanted and matched us with the perfect trucks. We ended up choosing Chief’s Cantina for street tacos and One Stop Shop for sliders, and both were a huge hit with our guests. The food was delicious, service was efficient, and the whole setup added such a fun, relaxed vibe to the night. Highly recommend working with Tampa Bay Food Trucks and Kim!

Choosing Tampa Bay Food Trucks was one of the best decisions I made in planning our wedding. Kim was an amazing communicator and made me feel so prepared, even coming out to our venue ahead of time since she had not been there before. We chose three trucks for our guests, which gave us an incredible menu with so many options and something for everyone. Everyone loved the food, and any line that formed simply gave people time to talk and enjoy each other. We had so many happy guests. We chose Dochos Latin Bistro, Breaking Bread BBQ, and Say Cheese, and everything was delicious. My only regret is not going back for seconds. I would recommend them to anyone wanting great food and the calm confidence of knowing their food service will run smoothly and taste amazing.

Can’t say enough great things about Kim and working with her to secure food trucks for my daughter’s wedding! Kim was very helpful in helping us select the amount of trucks we need and kept in contact throughout the whole process! We had a pizza truck and a barbecue truck and both were delicious!!! I highly recommend using Tampa Bay Food Trucks for whatever event you need!
What's better than handing out beer at a football game? Creamsicles!

Tapping into childhood nostalgia is one of the many tools within our quiver. Handing out ice cream prior to an NFL football game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was easier than giving candy to children on Halloween. The smiles that ensued made it all worthwhile for 5/3 Bank. Branding and community connection were definitely fostered at this experience. Teaming with the Buc's on sponsorship definitely has its perks and this is one of them. Not just anyone gets to roll up on a stadium and give out frozen swag, it's a process and one well worth it if you're looking to make an impact. When traditional marketing isn't what you seek, we can likely help.
