About The Entry

To launch Papi Chulo’s second store in Ireland, the brand turned social contests into cultural currency. By hijacking festival FOMO with a sold-out Electric Picnic ticket giveaway and following it with a high-energy Day Rave promotion tied to a new store opening, Papi Chulo transformed giveaways into real-world experiences. Using bold social mechanics, influencer amplification, and DM-led entry routes, the campaign tapped directly into youth culture, live music, and nightlife. What began as a simple contest strategy quickly became a social movement, driving awareness, participation, and footfall while positioning Papi Chulo as a brand that shows up where culture happens, not after it.
