Let's Be Clear About What This Is

This isn't a party rental.
It's a marketing partnership.

We could rent any venue in Atlanta. We're proposing Wild Leap because we believe your Speakeasy is the perfect interior anchor for the most-visited bridge corridor of the 2026 World Cup — and because a partnership with us puts your bar in front of a global audience your marketing team couldn't reach otherwise.

The Welcome to ATL Experience is the official small business activation of the FIFA World Cup 2026 for the City of Atlanta, presented by DoorDash, in partnership with Showcase Atlanta. We're not throwing a party. We're producing the city's flagship cultural moment of the tournament — and you would be inside it.

What follows is the audience we're putting on your doorstep, what that exposure is worth, and what we're paying you to be part of it.

The People Walking Past Your Door.

Atlanta will be the second-most-hosted city of the entire World Cup — eight matches including a semifinal at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Steele Bridge is the passthrough corridor connecting downtown hotels to the stadium. Your Speakeasy sits at the foot of that corridor. This is the audience we're putting in front of you.

Beyond the visitor numbers, here are the marketing channels that put Wild Leap directly in front of this audience:

DoorDash Co-Branding · 50M+ Monthly Users

DoorDash reaches over 50 million monthly active users globally as of 2026. Co-branding places Wild Leap in DoorDash's owned media tied to this activation — a marketing channel no independent bar can purchase.

welcometoatlexperience.com

The official Welcome to ATL Experience consumer site. Wild Leap featured as the VIP Lounge anchor across the Steele Bridge zone — visible to every visitor to the platform from announcement through final whistle.

City of Atlanta + Showcase Atlanta

Official city partner amplification. Mayor's office promotion. Tourism channels carrying Wild Leap as part of the official activation across paid and organic media.

90+ Vendor Cross-Promotion

Every WTA merchant has their own audience — typically several thousand engaged Atlanta locals each. Their content during the activation features Wild Leap as the lounge backdrop.

Creator Content Program

Atlanta-based creators produce content from the activation throughout the 16 days. Your Speakeasy is the premium backdrop for every match-day creator post.

International Press Footprint

The City of Atlanta activation will receive significant national and international press coverage during the tournament. Wild Leap is the named hospitality anchor for the cultural side of that story.

The Equivalent Media Value.

If Wild Leap tried to purchase this exposure on the open market — paid social, sponsorship slots, influencer partnerships, tourism placements — what would it cost? Below is a conservative estimate using standard Atlanta-market media rates.

Equivalent Media Value · 16-Day Activation Window $76,500
DoorDash co-branded exposure Tied to a national consumer brand with 50M+ monthly users; no comparable product is purchasable as standalone media
50M+ monthly users
$25,000

Variable, multi-channel
$12,000
Earned press footprint National/international press coverage value of City of Atlanta cultural anchor positioning

$14,000
Total Equivalent Media Value
$76,500
For comparison: A new Atlanta bar trying to break through with this same audience would budget $50K–$100K+ on standalone marketing — and would still not have access to the DoorDash co-branding, City of Atlanta amplification, or merchant cross-promotion components, which are only available through this partnership.

Note on media valuations: Estimates are based on standard Atlanta-market rates for sponsored social, branded content placement, tourism channel buys, and earned press value benchmarks for sporting event activations. Figures represent equivalent open-market cost, not guaranteed deliverables. Final mix subject to activation production schedule.

We're Not Promoters. We're an Activation Studio.

The Welcome to ATL Experience was selected by the City of Atlanta as the official small business activation for the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Our mission is to build a repeatable activation infrastructure for Atlanta's biggest global moments. World Cup is the first event in a multi-year pipeline that includes Super Bowl, College Football Playoff, and DNC.

We're production-grade operators with sponsorship, marketing, operations, and creative leadership built in. We've already secured DoorDash as title sponsor, three venue zones across downtown, and partnerships with the City of Atlanta and Showcase Atlanta. Wild Leap entering as our hospitality partner gets first-look access to every activation we build going forward.

  • Official City of Atlanta activation — designated platform for FIFA World Cup 2026 small business engagement
  • DoorDash as presenting sponsor — title naming on every consumer-facing piece of activation media
  • Showcase Atlanta partnership — official tourism and cultural promotion partner of the city
  • Three-zone activation across downtown ATL — Peachtree Center, Centennial Yards / Steele Bridge, South Downtown
  • 90+ ATL small businesses already onboarded as official Welcome to ATL Experience merchants
  • Multi-year activation pipeline — Super Bowl, CFP, and DNC infrastructure being built on the same model

Two Modes. One Continuous Presence.

Across the 16-day window, Wild Leap operates in two coordinated modes — designed to drive both ticketed revenue events on match days and continuous daytime foot traffic on non-match days.

Match Day Mode 8 Days · Ticketed VIP

The Speakeasy operates as the official DoorDash VIP Merchant Lounge. Ticketed access. Watch party broadcast. Premium environment built around your space.

  • Full Speakeasy buy-out — 147-person capacity, dedicated to WTA activation
  • Ticketed access via WTA platform — $75 per guest with 2 drink tickets included
  • Drink tickets pre-purchased from Wild Leap by WTA — cash in your hand before doors open
  • Watch party broadcast for all 8 Atlanta match days
  • DoorDash-branded lounge naming and light, removable interior signage
Non-Match Day Mode 8 Days · Merchant Anchor

Wild Leap operates normally with the addition of 90+ WTA merchants cycling through across the day. A designated area for merchants to decompress between shifts — and a steady stream of guests and crew walking through during operating hours.

  • Designated merchant break area within Wild Leap
  • Organic F&B spend from merchants and activation crew
  • Bathroom access maintained for all WTA personnel
  • Wild Leap retains 100% of bar, food, and walk-in revenue
  • Opportunistic VIP nights co-decided 5+ days out based on demand signals

Partnership investment $32,000
+ 100% F&B revenue (est.) ~$24,000
+ 20% ticket share (variable) See below

What 20% of Ticket Sales Looks Like.

Match-day attendance is variable — Spain vs. Cabo Verde will outdraw Czechia vs. South Africa. We've modeled four scenarios at $75 per ticket so you can see the full range of your ticket revenue upside. The partnership investment of $32,000 is guaranteed regardless.

Scenario Tickets / Match Day % of Capacity (147) WTA Ticket Revenue Wild Leap 20% Share Wild Leap Total*
Baseline 50 tickets 34% utilization $30,000 $6,000 ~$62,000
TargetPlan To 75 tickets 51% utilization $45,000 $9,000 ~$65,000
Strong 100 tickets 68% utilization $60,000 $12,000 ~$68,000
Breakout 125 tickets 85% utilization $75,000 $15,000 ~$71,000

* Wild Leap Total = $32,000 partnership investment + ~$24,000 estimated F&B revenue + 20% ticket share. F&B estimate based on Atlanta market benchmarks: avg 3 drinks/person/night, $23 booze spend + $10 food spend per VIP guest, plus walk-in and non-match-day organic vendor spend. F&B revenue scales upward as ticket attendance increases.
