At the 2017 edition of Sundance Film Festival, The Hub at Park City Live was the talk of Main Street for VIP guests and celebrities alike. Produced by Mirrored Media in partnership with Fingerprint Communications, The Hub featured a wide array of brands and activations over the long weekend, including Splenda, the Consumer Technology Association, AwesomenessTV, 361, Cool Effect, Tanqueray, Twitter, Movie Pilot, musical.ly, Marie Claire, and Spotify.

The convenient location of Park City Live allowed festival VIPs and celebrities to stop in for a brief respite from the snowy bustle of Main Street. Guests in attendance included Chelsea Handler, Charlize Theron, Mary McCormack, Bebe Rexha, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Aisha Tyler, Kate Micucci, Brock O’Hurn, Teresa Palmer, Max Riemelt, Olivia Culpo, and more.

Each brand delivered a unique guest experience for both daytime activations and nighttime events:

The Consumer Technology Association featured nine 4K UHD TVs throughout the venue. Each one looped exclusive 4K content to showcase the visually stunning detail and clarity of 4K technology. CTA hosted a reception for one of the Sundance films shot in 4K UHD, Chasing Coral, which was picked up by Netflix after its premiere at the festival.

Splenda warmed up guests with a branded coffee bar and gifting suite. It featured a chance for attendees to sip on their coffee, sweetened with Splenda, in a relaxing casual setting with tables, chairs, and succulents. Guests were served by Splenda baristas who also handed out brand giveaways from the custom-built and custom-wrapper coffee bar.

AwesomenessTV sponsored one of the highlights of Sundance, a performance by Grammy-winning DJ Tiesto at Park City Live. Their custom-built rose wall step and repeat was featured in the front lobby along with custom signage throughout the venue promoting Awesomeness Films’ newest title, Before I Fall.

The bar was custom-wrapped and featured boxes of fruit, a pull-up banner, and branded signage. Tanqueray was also the lead sponsor for Park City Live’s Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick.

Twitter and Movie Pilot co-sponsored an exclusive interview lounge for actors and social media influencers.

It also featured the famous Twitter Mirror, from which celebs posted selfies and unfiltered content.
