sponsorship quotes mr clean
Mr. Clean
As a first-year sponsor of SOBEWFF®, Mr. Clean and their brand Clean Freak made a splash at the inaugural FoodieCon® event at the Loews Miami Beach on Saturday, February 25. The Clean Freak’s Creator’s Counter hosted demos by digital content celebrities Salt Hank, Binging with Babish, Nick DiGiovanni and Cooking with Lynja. The cooks were sure to clean up their mess with Clean Freak products and guests walked away with special branded tote bags. Mr. Clean’s integration at this new and buzzed about event was a natural fit and had everyone excited to try their products.

Murder Point Oysters
"For the last five years, we’ve had the amazing opportunity to be a part of such a special event. SOBEWFF® gives us the opportunity to tell our unique story and showcase a southern boutique oyster. We have served over 25,000 oysters and enjoy being at some of the best events like the Oyster Bash and the Best of the Best. The relationships we have made, and the brand recognition created throughout these events is priceless for our small business. Thank you, SOBEWFF® for allowing us to play a small part of what you do." - Lane Zirlott, Owner Operator

"At Shaw-Ross, SOBEWFF® is a weekend we look forward to every year. It’s an incredible opportunity for us to showcase our brands while supporting our distributor partner Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits and the Chaplin School of Hospitality at FIU. There are so many opportunities for us to display our world class portfolio of brands, whether that’s with the sand beneath our feet and an ocean breeze at the Grand Tasting Village, in the Wine Spectator Seminar Series tasting through our most prestigious wines, alongside other critically acclaimed producers at the Best of the Best or enjoying perfect wine pairings at intimate dinners hosted by celebrity chefs and Miami’s best restaurateurs. We are excited for what’s to come and look forward to many more years of partnership with SOBEWFF®, it just keeps getting better!" - Scott Jove, President

sponsorship quotes el tequileno
El Tequileño
"El Tequileño is a 64-year story of family-crafted, additive-free tequilas. We love nothing more than seeing the response of people when they’re able to try our authentic tequilas, talk to Tony Salles our third-generation Master Distiller, and taste and hear about why these tequilas are so special. South Beach Wine and Food Festival® offered us tailored events and platforms to share with thousands of passionate tequila lovers and we are thrilled to be partnered with them! We’re already excited about getting back to the beach!" - Kevin Kennedy, VP/National Sales Manager
sponsorship quotes burger fi
BurgerFi®
"SOBEWFF® attracts the best culinary talent and food lovers in the country right here in our own South Florida backyard, so it was the perfect opportunity to showcase both our brands, BurgerFi® and Anthony’s Coal Fire Pizza & Wings, which were founded here in South Florida! BurgerFi® has always stood for “better burger”, and we wanted a way to boldly declare our BurgerFi-naticism at SOBEWFF®’s Burger Bash! People don’t just eat burgers, they become BurgerFi-ed and we wanted our festival experience to transcend more than just good food. It needed to support the fanatical experience of satisfying your craving with the very best burger and the joy in sharing that. It also had to be fun! Since we are a made-to-order burger concept, we understand that you need to make the “wait” a positive experience, so we designed our sponsor booth to activate on all these key elements. We had our “Fi”-camera so you could capture the emotion of this unique Burger Bash experience with an interactive selfie at the head of the line as well as sign-up to receive free Fresh-Cut Fries at your next BurgerFi® restaurant visit..." - Cindy Syracuse, Chief Marketing Officer
