At IRE, the industry’s largest annual gathering, SRS's goal is to own the show. The resulting environment centered on a large, integrated footprint that combined multiple zones into one cohesive experience. Distinct kiosks and stations were intentionally programmed to represent different SRS business lines, making it immediately clear where attendees should go based on their interests, transforming the booth into a guided experience.

We're thrilled to announce that JonnyPops has won a Silver Award in the "Advertising – Trade Show / Exhibit" category at the 2026 MUSE Creative Awards for our standout exhibit at Natural Products Expo West! 🏆🍦
The 30-foot experience paired a high-energy sampling station with a retail freezer display and a private meeting space, so the booth could bring fans in from the aisle while supporting real conversations with buyers and retail partners.

Mighty Spark has spent the last several years building toward a clear position in the protein snack category: the chicken brand. With what the team believes is the best-tasting chicken stick on the market, the goal at Expo West 2026 was to make sure every retailer, broker, and buyer on the show floor knew it. Category ownership was the strategic objective, and the exhibit needed to communicate that with confidence.

MegaFood’s updated logo, color palette, and “from food” positioning into a cohesive physical environment at Expo West this year. The space read as bright and inviting, standing out with more than just a good product. Every design element worked in service of a single goal: communicating who MegaFood is today, and doing it with confidence.

The best booth experiences are from exhibitors who stop thinking about booths and start designing experiences that people genuinely want to participate in. Attendees connect with exhibits that educate, engage, and create genuine connections.

The best booths don't rely on foot traffic.

It's always best to drive momentum before the event, taking a look at opportunities to promote via social media, press releases, and even tapping into your existing networks by inviting clients to connect with your team onsite for new sales opportunities.

We're thrilled to announce that SRS Distribution has won a Gold Award in the "Integrated Marketing – Event Marketing" category at the 2026 MUSE Creative Awards for our standout exhibit at IRE! 🏆🎉

Built around the concept "A Home Built to Last," the two-story experience brought SRS business divisions together under one roof, with meeting spaces upstairs, a swag porch at street level, and a boom-truck presentation stage that made the product the landmark of the show floor.

Kindness never tasted so good. 🌈🍦

Our team helped bring JonnyPops' "Kindness is Golden" experience to life at the Minnesota State Fair, and fairgoers couldn't get enough. This year, JonnyPops turned a simple treat stand into something people stopped to feel good about.

Every inch of the space carries the message, right down to hundreds of kindness prompts printed on the popsicle sticks themselves: write a thank-you letter, teach someone a new skill, be a force for positivity.

That's the kind of experiential marketing we love building: a brand story you can hold in your hand, one popsicle at a time.

Allan Flinn, our CFO, has been named a 2026 CFO of the Year honoree by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.

Every experience we deliver for our clients rests on the financial groundwork set long before they exhibit on a show floor or unveil a brand activation. Since joining STAR a little over a year ago, Allan has played a transformational role in advancing our financial budgeting, invoicing, and planning processes so that our Client Services and Operations teams can commit to the right ideas with confidence.

Partnership and ex*****on are what carry a client's goals from an idea to an experiene. Allan has made both stronger across this company.

We're thrilled to announce that four STAR clients have been recognized in the 2026 MUSE Creative Awards, earning one Gold and three Silver honors!

A roofing show, a ballpark, a university, and a natural products expo. Four audiences with very little in common, and one approach behind all of them: understand who is walking in, decide what they should see, feel, learn, or do, then build the environment that gets them there.

Congratulations to our clients and to the STAR teams and partners who brought each project to life!

Have you heard about the Battle of the Buns? Once a year at STAR's Minneapolis office, the aprons go on, and the grills fire up as our resident grillmasters go head-to-head for bun supremacy and a full year of bragging rights.

The 2026 edition came with a 90s theme, neon table covers and all. Teammates from across the company packed the patio and the tent to eat well and cheer on the competition, because the people who spend their days building unforgettable experiences for clients deserve a few of their own.

Congrats to this year's winners on claiming the title!
Psst... the aprons are already washed and waiting for 2027. The trash talk never stops.

Taco Bell envisioned an energetic and immersive environment that aligned with its “Live Más” mantra. The goal was to bring excitement to the fans with interactive elements like photo ops, games, food, and charging stations, while building a positive association with the Taco Bell brand. The Live Más Student Section needed to stand out at the CFP Tailgate with branded visuals that would appear well on TV and social media, while offering experiences that resonated with the students in attendance.
