Bonsai x Graspop
The Golden Moment
Spearheaded by Defiant, we forged a partnership between Bonsai and Graspop, creating “The Golden Moment" to transform Europe’s largest metal festival into a meditative community space. Aimed at metalheads of all ages, this initiative transcended traditional sponsorships to deliver a unique experience in resonance with both Graspop’s and Bonsai’s culture, energy and values.
Through “The Golden Moment” mindfulness sessions, we:
Seamlessly integrated Bonsai into the Graspop community, offering 4,500 metalheads a peaceful escape.
· Achieved a 146% growth in new app users, driving a surge in downloads before and after the event.
· Made Bonsai the first brand to reach an official festival timetable.
Because community growth is golden.
