Case Study - By Wrappa Strategic Branding and Design

Wrappa was approached by TOPS at SPAR - the headline sponsor - to coordinate and implement the VIP Lounge brand and entertainment logistics, as well as the design, production and build of the TOPS at SPAR exhibition stand at the TOPS Gugulethu Wine Festival 2012 in May 2012.

TOPS Gugulethu Wine Festival 2012
Thirty-seven wine exhibitors and eight sponsors gathered on the rooftop of the Gugulethu Square Mall with the aim of serving their wines to over 3400 guests in an interactive tasting experience. Festival-goers collected a glass on arrival and then mingled with wine farm representatives learning and tasting about their unique offerings.
