HOW TO CATCH VANESSA’S PLACE
Vanessa’s Place attends events with a friendly team and a fleet of vehicles including our Tiny Home, Mini V (Mini Van) and Bute (Ford Ranger) to leave a lasting impression after a day or night out with mates.
VANESSA’S PLACE TINY HOME
The flagship of the campaign “Vanessa’s Place”, will roll up to major events and multi-day music festivals. Vanessa’s Place has an escape room like experience sharing messages around drink and drug driving, which leads punters to a hidden photo experience behind the fridge door.
In this hidden living room, our messaging focuses on speed and distractions before heading back out into our front yard, where you can find yard games and messaging around recharging and car safety.
Vanessa’s Place Tiny Home has plenty to offer:
- Grab a bite through the kitchen hatch
- Escape the heat
- Snag a free key ring
- Relax in Vanessa’s yard complete with bean bags and umbrellas
- Chill out in the games room
- Check you are safe with breath testing
BUTE
