RIFLE MUSIC
Liquid IV x Fisher/Chris Lake B2B
The Background.
Big opportunities can sometimes come together in just a few days.
A surprise show, a pop-up event, and a FISHER and Chris Lake back-to-back set in Sydney.
For brands, these moments can vanish as quickly as they show up. Acting fast and making quick decisions is what separates those who join the cultural moment from those who miss out.
Following the OUT 2 LUNCH festival, FISHER announced a surprise Sydney pop-up featuring Grammy-nominated producer and DJ Chris Lake. With the show announced only days before the event, Rifle saw an opportunity for Liquid I.V. to get involved, with a strong natural alignment between the brand, music, and an audience primed for its hydration message.
Rifle brought the opportunity to Liquid I.V. seeing it as a way to put the brand at the heart of an exciting music event and help it grow its presence in the music scene.
The Strategy.
Liquid I.V. worked quickly and became the official hydration partner for the pop-up event together with FISHER and Chris Lake.
Rifle brought Liquid I.V. and the event together, making them part of the event experience. Liquid I.V. was featured through product sampling around the venue and in a special VIP area, so guests could try the product in a setting where staying hydrated made sense.
The event was also supported by an integrated PR and social plan, building awareness ahead of the show and giving Liquid I.V. a platform around one of Sydney’s most in-demand pop-up events.
The Result.
The partnership moved as fast as the opportunity.
The event was announced just days before the show, with registrations driven through FISHER and Chris Lake’s social channels. When tickets went on sale, the event sold out in just three hours.
Liquid I.V. was involved from the start through the event itself, with VIP hospitality and product sampling helping the brand show up naturally in a high-energy music environment.
For Liquid I.V., the partnership showed the value of having the right opportunities at the right time. With music moments often moving quickly, Rifle identified a strong brand fit, connected the opportunity, and helped Liquid I.V. be part of it. The event also gained a huge organic presence on social media, with thousands of posts and mentions highlighting Liquid I.V.’s role. This exposure came naturally, a direct result of the brand’s ability to act fast and embed itself in the cultural moment.
