This strategic partnership also allows Continental Coffee to additionally launch a unique coffee themed experience store offering an immersive space for coffee enthusiasts.

“At Continental Coffee, we are always striving to craft exceptional moments for our coffee lovers. We're always on the lookout for fresh, innovative opportunities, and with the Madison team, we found the perfect partners who share our vision for creativity. By securing the naming rights for the food court at Nexus Hyderabad, we've not only established a presence in the city's most popular mall but also tapped into the vibrant, youthful crowd that frequents it,” he said.

Raja Chakraborty, Chief Marketing Officer at Continental Coffee, said, “The partnership enables them to create an immersive experience zone at the food court, engaging coffee lovers in ways we've never explored before. We’re confident that this collaboration will be mutually rewarding, laying the foundation for a long and successful partnership. The flagship space will also feature a dedicated photo-booth shaped like a coffee cup for visitors to capture and share moments on social media.”

Dipankar Sanyal, CEO, Platinum Outdoor & MRP, stated “We are thrilled to be part of this innovative campaign, showcasing the synergy between experiential marketing and retail. Partnering with Nexus Hyderabad for Continental Coffee allowed us to push the boundaries by integrating sensory elements like aroma and visual storytelling, turning footfall into meaningful engagement.
