The strategy consisted in inviting journalists from the country's most prominent media to live the experience of dining at 50 meters high, hanging from a crane.



Classified into 4 groups (TV reportes, newspaper journalists, Internet journalist and photo jourmalist), rose to Latitud 33° in the Sky to reflect the story in their articles.



Execution

Latitud 33° led 'Dinner in the Sky' to Buenos Aires so that its consumers live a different and unique experience, always considering its brand values.



"Latitud 33° in the Sky" has been a unique sensory dining experience. Suspended in the air at about 50 meters height, the guests admired the city from another angle enjoying the delicious cuisine by Chef Marcos Zabaleta and the best wines of Mendoza. From up there, they had a view of the youngest neighbourhood in Buenos Aires, a special place where the design and innovation of the modern buildings mix with the calmness of the river and nature.



Supported by a table equipped under the strictest international safety controls carefully handled by a crane of special features, the guests began the ascent preceded by a shower of stars, simulating a takeoff. It was the beginning of the journey to that special and unique place in the middle of the city.
