Bravo Fan Fest returns to Charleston

The sold-out event on October 24 features live panels, immersive experiences, and photo ops with stars from Below Deck, Real Housewives, and Southern Charm.

Five brands create fan experiences

Colgate Optic White, Planet Fitness, State Farm, Wayfair, and Wendy's are on-site partners creating activations for Bravo's passionate audience.

“What all of these brands share is that common desire to connect with consumers in a really authentic way.”

Colgate and Planet Fitness activations

Colgate offers themed trivia and custom travel bags. Planet Fitness sponsors hydration stations with bottles that unlock a free month of membership.

Commerce-enabled brand experiences

State Farm's tote bags include QR codes for personalized coverage. Wayfair's activation with Summer House's Mia Calabrese features shoppable ornament boxes.

Social media extends the reach

Ally Bank captures on-the-ground content with a Bravolebrity. Genesis shares custom content featuring the GV80 Coupe across social channels.

Wendy's Baby Gorgeous sweepstakes

Fans can order Lisa Barlow's Baby Gorgeous Meal through the app from September 16 to 30 and enter a sweepstakes, even if they can't attend.

Partnership revenue up 30 percent

Brand partnerships at Bravo experiential events grew 30% since 2024. Demand from fans and advertisers has never been stronger, according to NBCU.

“What makes experiences like Bravo Fan Fest compelling is the access to this highly engaged and active audience who's already there.”
