AppyHour Scores Constellation Brands Partnership for Key Florida Markets

February, 2026

AppyHour® announces Constellation Brands partnership to support the industry-leader’s activation investments across key Florida markets.

This pilot integrates AppyHour’s Brand Activation Manager with Constellation’s activation investments for Corona and Modelo Especial. This approach connects placements, activation investments, retail execution, and consumer demand. Resulting in actionable reporting to optimize programs in flight and guide future spend.

Why this matters

In the beverage alcohol sector, executing activations is usually straightforward. But demonstrating their value on retail sales and consumer engagement across the market remains a persistent challenge.

AppyHour closes that gap by tying activation spend to in-market placements and consumer outcomes. This creates a scalable engine that enables repeatable execution and data-driven decisions.

“This partnership helps unify our in-market placements, activation investments, and consumer engagement into one measurable system. This isn’t possible on other channels and is essential for scaling and measuring our programs efficiently.”
-Ken Llewellyn, Senior On-Premise Market Execution Manager at Constellation Brands

What this milestone means for AppyHour

This partnership with Constellation Brands, the category’s biggest player, is a clear validation of the AppyHour team’s work and the vision we’re building.

It also signals a broader step forward for the industry, moving traditional brand activation spend away from fragmented systems and toward data-first connected platforms.

“This is a big step forward in AppyHour’s mission of bringing innovation to the beverage alcohol industry.” said Neil Jirele, CEO at AppyHour® Technologies.

“Working with Constellation Brands has been a milestone-goal for our team. Landing this partnership reinforces our vision, and we’re excited to turn this into an incredible success story for our partner and our business.”

Looking ahead

The AppyHour and Constellation Brands partnership will commence in key Florida markets, starting with Tampa Bay and Miami, featuring Corona and Modelo.

Expansion to additional markets, retail accounts, and brand SKUs will be guided by strategic priorities.
