Our Philosophy.

Our ambition extends beyond our immediate achievements; if we can leverage even a fraction of our influence to improve the world around us, leaving it slightly better than when we arrived, then we consider our mission accomplished. This blend of passion, fun, and a commitment to positive impact defines our approach to work and success.

“Your brand is not what you sell; it’s the experience you deliver”

What We Do.

Our campaigns are crafted with in-person experiences at their core, believing strongly that the future of marketing leans heavily on the quality of these consumer interactions. In a world where digital presence is becoming increasingly saturated, we value the authenticity of shared, real-life moments between brands and their communities as the central pillar of customized experiences.

It's precisely these genuine encounters that create resonant, lasting memories, far beyond fleeting digital engagements. These moments nurture deep, enduring connections between brands and their audiences, propelling a lasting sentiment that transcends the ordinary.

our approach

FROM CONCEPTION TO EXECUTION

We design campaign experiences meticulously engineered to spark awe, encourage adoption, and propel brand growth. Through innovative strategies and creative execution, our campaigns don't just reach audiences—they captivate and inspire them, leading to tangible results for our clients.

SPECIAL EVENTS

WORKFLOW

  • During this stage, we gather details on activation type, date, location, vision, and any production partners or sponsors, while understanding client goals and ROI. We also discuss the budget upfront to ensure alignment with the project's objectives.

  • During this stage, we conduct a site visit to take photos and measurements, then develop a pitch and detailed proposal. We provide a top-line budget with breakout notes, prepare a client presentation, and create renderings for client approval.

  • During the pre-event planning, we hold weekly planning meetings and provide updates, ensuring client approvals on various production elements and continued project management. We develop a production schedule, organize the production team, vendors, and partners, and manage production requests and trackers.

  • Durpng the event production week, we conduct additional site visits and walkthroughs, finalize permitting, site plans, and production schedules. We also finalize the trucking schedule, the run-of-show (ROS) for show day, and the delivery and strike plan.

  • On event day, we manage, produce, and coordinate the entire activation, overseeing logistics, vendor setup, client and guest flow, and streamlining guest arrival processes. We problem solve as needed and ensure all key deliverables are executed.

  • After the event, we provide a comprehensive client recap, gather feedback, and identify key learnings. We also handle final billing and provide estimates for any add-ons.

CREATIVE PROCESS

WORKFLOW

  • We begin the branding process by collaborating with clients to clearly define their company's priorities and values. This foundational step ensures that our creative team understands the direction and character the brand aims to present.

  • We initiate our design process with in-depth market and competitor research to understand the industry landscape and learn from existing experiences. This foundation allows us to craft distinctive brand identities that resonate with the target audience, ensuring our designs are not only visually appealing but also strategically effective.

  • Creative development is vital to branding, encapsulating a brand's identity and driving its marketing strategy. Our process includes thorough market and user research, careful style and color selection, and extensive testing to ensure our designs are consistent, distinct, and resonate with consumers.

  • Logo design is crucial but not the only visual element of a brand; mascots and typography also significantly contribute. Mascots personalize and enhance engagement, serving as symbolic brand representatives, while consistent typography across all materials reinforces brand identity and recognition.

  • Once the campaign messaging, color palette, and other visual elements are ready, it's time to integrate them into a cohesive brand style. This is especially important in branding for service-oriented companies, where various attributes can be transformed into branded items based on the company's type.

  • The visual material is finalized, and the final task for the designer is to ensure correct usage of all assets. A style guide is created to instruct clients on the proper and improper ways to use the brand's graphics, including explanations of the logo's concept, the corporate color palette's applications, and examples of incorrect usage to prevent visual misrepresentation.

“The keys to brand success are self-definition, transparency, authenticity, and accountability.”
