SweeTARTS®, the iconic brand that has been encouraging fans to live their most colourful lives and ‘Be Both’, understands the best storytellers aren’t just traditional filmmakers. They’re nurses who can sing acapella, students with a knack for thrift-store finds, or skateboarders who dabble in cooking, all with a shared passion for creating content from their everyday lives that sparks impactful emotions. To elevate the unique talents of these storytellers across the country, SweeTARTS is reimagining the typically exclusive award show concept by hosting the first branded Film Fest on TikTok.

Great idea to create a TikTok contest for your own club, restaurant chain or bar if you want to  engage young people with your brand. Done right it will push your amount of followers on TikTok and who knows it might interest young people that didn’t visit your place before. In the past we spotted similar ideas for Instagram.

For the Duvel Designer Glass 2022, the latest edition of the Duvel Collection, Duvel collaborates with the illustrator and DJ Franky Sticks from Rotterdam. As far as he is concerned, it’s all about movement – whether it be waves of music, people on the dance floor or lines on a canvas. With every movement, something new, something quirky, something devilish can emerge. This is how Franky Sticks and Duvel found each other on the cutting edge of creation, experimentation and innovation. The new Duvel Designer Glass 2022 will be available as of 5 September and will be launched on Thursday 1 September during a jam session hosted by Franky Sticks in his beloved Rotterdam.

We wrote about it just this week: a special glass that people can take home with them. The Duvel Collection is one such example; when you buy a 4-pack, you get 1 Duvel x Franky Sticks glass for free. It is also nice for bars or restaurants to develop a special glass that you can give home! Or a special holder in which you can put a glass? Check out this article for more details.
