"We've reached thousands of consumers at events we connected with through Rue. We've kicked off relationships with some of our core demographic: habitual hosts. And we've filled our UGC folder with photos from Rue events. We see Rue as a great way to easily build an event calendar that will generate social media buzz and end consumer brand awareness."

"Rue has been the perfect site to use to help build our brand across New York City! Our business is based in Australia so being able to utilize Rue to get important sampling completed within a variation of events has been key for our brand build. It's super easy to use and it's so nice being able to choose events that suit the product and our brands positioning. Can't wait to double down on our events throughout the rest of this year."
