About the project

Bringing the news and happiness to people with free hot coffee.

With the launch of their new product, LinkedIn Today, the company had a primary goal of increasing awareness for the product, introducing it to a socially connected and digitally savvy audience, helping to position the product as an indispensable daily resource for business professionals. Manifold created the LinkedIn Mobile News Cafes, a pair of food truck style coffee trucks that toured the downtown areas of San Francisco and New York, offering business professionals in targeted locations their daily fix of morning coffee, along with “Freshly Brewed” news and insights via LinkedIn Today. The trucks helped introduce LinkedIn Today to an influential audience as an essential part of their daily routines, while also serving as a backdrop for media opportunities.
