MAKE YOUR EVENTS HAPPEN

Connecting Brands with Consumers Through Memorable Experiences

WHO WE ARE

Founded in 2010, Mariano Events is a nationwide experiential marketing agency based in Rochester NY and Los Angeles CA that specializes in executing high-quality sampling events for innovative food, beverage and wellness brands.

When company founder and CEO Danielle Mariano recognized that brands in the food & beverage market lacked proper support from structured demo agencies, she took matters into her own hands and the rest is history!

We do the work so you don’t have to.

Testimonials

Trusted by Leading Brands in the Natural & Specialty Market

In my 18 years of working with a variety of agencies, I’ve never worked with a better sampling partner. Mariano Events is best in class in regards to high caliber sampling ambassadors, training and effective and timely recaps. The HQ customer service is also above and beyond all expectations. They have raised the bar.

As we work to grow the relatively new category of refrigerated bars along with Wegmans, in-store demos have been a key component of driving awareness, not only to our brand, but to a new location in-store for shoppers to look for healthy snacks. Danielle and her team at Mariano Events have been instrumental in this effort. I have stopped in on many demos of our product over the last three months, and the Brand Ambassadors from Mariano Events have consistently been educated on our bars, enthusiastic about sharing a new product, and nothing but professional with Wegmans customers.

I first worked with Mariano events at Wegmans introducing the Northeast to Tamales. From the very beginning, Danielle and her entire team at all levels have been 100% reliable and a fantastic partner. The inshore teams effectively sampled, cooked and represent our brand professionally, with excellent reporting. They have gone out of their way to cover remote stores and always put in the extra effort to provide the best demos. Mariano Events has set the gold standard for demo companies. Providing excellent demos, comprehensive reports with actionable information, reliable coverage and stellar communication. They are the only demo company I have worked with I am always certain I can count on.
