SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spritz, a San Francisco-based firm, is proud to be named as the marketing agency for Salesforce Transit Center, a regional transportation and lifestyle hub now in the final stages of construction in the heart of downtown San Francisco.
Spritz is providing all aspects of the branding, creative, digital concept, and web design, as well as social media for the landmark center due to open to the public in late summer 2018.
Appointed by Lincoln Property Company, the transit center’s asset manager, Spritz joins a team of experienced partners responsible for leasing retail, programming events, staging pop-ups, as well as coordinating sponsorship and advertising opportunities at Salesforce Transit Center and its one-of-a-kind public rooftop Salesforce Park.

Owned and operated by the Transbay Joint Powers Authority and designed by award-winning Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, the striking Salesforce Transit Center with its geometric lace-like awning of steel, skylit Grand Hall centerpiece, urban gondola and design-forward interiors and exteriors is destined to become an iconic landmark in San Francisco. A welcoming 5.4-acre rooftop public park features an outdoor amphitheater, tree-lined trails, grassy lawns, children's play area, cafe, bar, and restaurant. A robust calendar of dynamic events is planned for the enjoyment of community, residents, and visitors alike.
In the SOMA neighborhood surrounded by Fortune 500 companies, tech giants, startups, and a growing diverse neighborhood of residents, Salesforce Transit Center combines improved mass transit for tens of thousands of passengers, plus an inviting meet-up place with curated dining and shopping in addition to its sustainability-focused rooftop urban oasis.
