Four days of connection, collaboration, and creativity — that’s a wrap on Advertising Week New York 2025! For the Relish Catering + Hospitality team, it was another inspiring week spent fueling some of the brightest minds in marketing, media, and technology.
Held at the bustling corner of 33rd Street and Sixth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, this year’s event once again transformed the Manhattan Mall into a dynamic hub of innovation and conversation. Thousands of professionals came together to share ideas, explore new strategies, and celebrate the ever-evolving world of advertising.
A 20-Year Partnership Rooted in Creativity
2025 marked the 20th anniversary of Advertising Week New York, and Relish was honored to celebrate this milestone as the event’s exclusive catering partner since its inception in 2003. Over the past two decades, we’ve watched this gathering grow from a local industry conference into a global movement — one that unites creative thinkers, changemakers, and innovators from around the world.
For Relish, this long-standing partnership is more than just a tradition. It’s a reflection of our shared commitment to excellence, community, and the power of collaboration. Just as Advertising Week connects the industry’s best minds, we believe food connects people — sparking conversations, inspiring new ideas, and creating moments that linger long after the plates are cleared.
Fueling Every Moment — From Morning to Night
Throughout the week, the Relish team was proud to keep attendees fueled, focused, and inspired. Each morning began with a warm welcome – freshly brewed coffee, muffins, and breakfast bites that helped kickstart the day’s sessions. As the hours unfolded, Relish kept the energy high with vibrant lunches and quick bites designed to nourish creativity without slowing down the flow of ideas.
One of the highlights of the week was our continued collaboration with The Female Quotient Lounge, a space dedicated to advancing gender equality and empowering women in business. The lounge buzzed each day with conversation, connection, and, of course, delicious food. From morning coffee and pastries to evening networking receptions, Relish was there to make every moment feel thoughtful and elevated.
As the sun set, the energy shifted from brainstorming to celebrating. Evening gatherings featured passed hors d’oeuvres from our newest menu additions, offering guests a taste of what’s next in the world of catered cuisine. It was the perfect way to transition from learning to networking – with great food as the common thread.
Where Flavor Meets Inspiration
At Relish, we know that the right meal can do more than satisfy hunger – it can spark creativity, strengthen relationships, and bring people together. Events like Advertising Week remind us why we do what we do: creating experiences that nourish both body and mind.
From the first pour of coffee to the last bite of a canapé, our goal is always the same, to craft food and moments that fuel connection. We’re proud to have played a role in supporting this incredible event once again and to have been part of the conversations shaping the future of marketing, media, and technology.
Here’s What’s Next
As Advertising Week NYC 2025 comes to a close, we’re filled with gratitude for another year of partnership, purpose, and innovation. Thank you to the organizers, speakers, and attendees who make this event so extraordinary — and to everyone who stopped by to share a meal, a conversation, or a moment with us.
Here’s to creativity, community, and conversations powered by great food. Until next year, Advertising Week — we can’t wait to do it all again.
