With an ever-more important part to play in a bar’s operation, the Social Media Presence category (Sponsored by Villa Sandi) saw some of the best showcases of connecting the online world to real-life experiences.

With one TikTok capturing two million views, and partnerships with influencers also reaching into the millions, Junkyard has put Gen Z-targeted social media activations at the forefront of its marketing strategy, with huge strides made in revenues.
