Two Concepts

Two directions for the activation, each designed to maximize Altra brand presence during Coachella Weekend 2.

Option 01

Run With BLXST

5K Community Run + Pool Party

A 5K community run led by BLXST, followed by a pool party hosted by BLXST and his DJ, Gabe C. BLXST brings a massive cultural footprint. Merging LA hip-hop with run culture creates a moment that lives far beyond the event itself.

  • BLXST-led 5K through Rancho Mirage
  • Live DJ set by Gabe C at the pool
  • Content-rich activation with celebrity draw
  • Cross-audience exposure: music x fitness x lifestyle
  • Social amplification through BLXST's channels

BLXST is already a runner. This activation is an opportunity to start a relationship with the artist for future collaborations. If both parties are interested, there could be bigger opportunities down the line.
Option 02

Pleasures X Altra

Coachella Run + Music Programming

A Pleasures-branded Coachella run with music programming curated by Pleasures. This is a live collaboration. Pleasures and Altra have a shoe dropping next week, making this activation a natural extension of the ongoing marketing efforts for the collab.

  • Pleasures-curated run experience
  • Music programming by Pleasures
  • Continues Pleasures x Altra collab marketing around the shoe release
  • Streetwear-meets-run positioning for Altra
  • Tap into Pleasures' dedicated cultural audience
