Jarritos Canal Cleanup

1

single purpose

people on the water

15 kg

of waste collected

Amsterdam’s canals are home to birds and fish, and too often to plastic too. On 5 June 2026, Jarritos brought a group of volunteers to spend the day on the water and change that. Together we pulled 15 kg of waste out of the canals, making the city a bit cleaner and safer for everyone. Doing good never felt this much like a day out with friends.

What shapes the price

Every activation is different, so we price per project. We calculate the final cost based on:

  • Budget
  • Duration
  • Extras
  • Location
  • Pax
  • Services
  • Type of event

Questions we get a lot

What is a brand activation, and what does it deliver?

A brand activation is an event or action where people experience your brand in person, instead of seeing an ad. It gives you real contact with your audience, content for your channels and a story people share.

What does a brand activation cost?

It depends on the type of event, the location, the number of guests and the requested services. Tell us your idea and your budget, and we send you a concept and a quote.

Do we have to deal with different vendors?

No. We manage every vendor for you, from venue and catering to music and content. You have one point of contact, from the first call to the final report.

How far ahead should we plan?

It depends on the event, but we recommend at least 6 to 8 weeks.

Can you work with our own venue or suppliers?

Yes, if your venue or supplier allows it. If not, we bring our own partners.

Partner with our events

Be where people feel something.

With our sponsorship programme, we work with key partners like you at events where your brand builds a real emotional connection with the crowd you want to reach.
