Community events

COFFEE &
CONNECTIONS

Two Saturday morning networking events held during the World Cup window — on days when there is no match. These are the mechanism that converts World Cup foot traffic into long-term Kodak's relationships: venue rental clients, Loyalty Kard holders, local business partners, and repeat customers.

Event No. 01
ATL ENTREPRENEUR MORNING
Saturday · July 5, 2026 · 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM · Free to Attend

Local business owners, creatives, side-hustlers, and entrepreneurs gather at Kodak's between the Round of 32 (July 1) and Round of 16 (July 7). The World Cup energy is fully built — this is a morning that taps into it without competing with it. Positions Kodak's as a community hub, not just a coffee shop.

Run of show
9:00 AM Doors open. World Kup drink special — $1 off all orders for anyone who shows up. Music low, vibe easy.
9:30 AM Open networking — no agenda, no pressure. Coffee in hand, business cards out, introductions happening naturally.
10:00 AM 60-second intros — every attendee stands and says who they are, what they do, and what they need. Emceed by Canvas Firm.
10:30 AM Kodak's Kup winner vendor spotlighted — meets the room, shares their product, answers questions. This is their moment.
11:00 AM Open floor — deals get made, follow-ups happen, people keep ordering. Canvas Firm circulates for venue rental conversations.
12:00 PM Close + social push. Tag @kodakskoffee. Share who you met. Every attendee leaves with a Kodak's Kard already stamped.
Event No. 02
CREATOR & BRAND MORNING
Saturday · July 12, 2026 · 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM · Free to Attend

This one leans directly into the World Cup tourism wave. Content creators, videographers, and brand teams are physically IN Atlanta for the semifinal weekend. Many need a beautiful, photogenic space to shoot. This morning introduces them to Kodak's as a venue — and Canvas Firm is right there to quote the rental on the spot. The timing is deliberate: this is 3 days before the biggest match Atlanta has ever hosted.

Run of show
9:00 AM Doors open. "Creator Morning" aesthetic setup — product on the bar, lighting considered, syrup wall visible and accessible for content.
9:30 AM Open shoot time — creators can photograph and film freely. The deal is: shoot here, tag @kodakskoffee. No restrictions, full brand access.
10:00 AM Networking round — creators, brand reps, local businesses, and international visitors in the same room. Canvas Firm introductions.
10:30 AM Venue tour with Canvas Firm — 10-minute walk through the space with a pitch for rental. Rate cards distributed to everyone in the room.
11:00 AM Live booking window — on-the-spot rental inquiries taken and quoted. Canvas Firm closes what they can. Deposits accepted same day.
12:00 PM Close. Every attendee leaves with a Kodak's Kard, a rental rate card, and a reason to come back on July 15.

WHY THESE TWO SATURDAYS SPECIFICALLY

July 5 sits between the Round of 32 (July 1) and Round of 16 (July 7) — the city is deep into World Cup mode but there's no match that day, so foot traffic is high and people are looking for things to do. July 12 is three days before the Atlanta Semifinal, which is the single biggest day in this city's recent sports history. Brand teams, media crews, and international visitors are already here and actively looking for content locations. Both Saturdays are open windows with maximum energy and no competition. Kodak's fills that gap.

Content strategy

INSTAGRAM PLAN —
PRE & DURING

Every phase of the World Cup window has a distinct content mode. Pre-tournament builds anticipation and attracts venue rental leads. During the tournament, same-day coverage is non-negotiable — the algorithm rewards real-time relevance.

PRE-TOURNAMENT

May 27 – June 14, 2026
Tease World Kup drink teaser — "dropping June 15." No full reveal yet. Just enough to create curiosity.
Announce Coffee & Connections announcement post — July 5 and July 12 dates, free to attend, what to expect.
Venue Venue rental push — "The World Cup is coming to ATL. Need a space to shoot?" Interior photo post.
Boost $40 boost on venue rental post. Target: content creators + brand managers in ATL ZIP codes.
Hype ATL World Cup hype post — lean into Kodak's proximity to the stadium. "5 minutes from the Benz."

DURING TOURNAMENT

June 15 – July 15, 2026
Match days Same-day Story coverage on every Atlanta match day. The crowd, the drinks, the energy. Real-time is everything.
Saturdays Full Reel posted same evening after every Saturday activation. This is the non-negotiable deliverable each week.
C&C events Live Stories during both Coffee & Connections events. Recap Reel within 24 hours. Tag every attendee who appears on camera.
Venue Post-rental content — when creators use the space, get the content and repost. Social proof is the best rental ad.
Semifinal July 15 Reel is the biggest post of the entire summer. Full day shoot. Goes up same night. Boost: $60, widest target of the season.
Canvas Firm — Strategic Memo

The most important fact in this entire document: 131 Walker Street is 5 minutes from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. That is Kodak's competitive advantage for this entire tournament. Every international visitor, every ATL fan, every content creator and brand team in town for 8 matches needs coffee, needs a place to sit, and needs a reason to post. Kodak's is that place — but only if we show up every single week with consistent activations, same-day content, and a clear reason for people to choose us over everyone else downtown. The Coffee & Connections events are the multiplier. They don't just drive one-day revenue — they turn World Cup visitors into venue rental clients, Loyalty Kard holders, and long-term followers. That's what makes this strategy different from a coffee shop just putting up a World Cup sign.
