brooklyn museum – campus launch

Goal

Whittle School & Studios was ready to announce the launch of their Brooklyn campus. After many events with this client, we had to maintain the same high standards while working a short turn around remotely, as the event took place at the Brooklyn Museum in NYC.

Challenges

A venue and vendors, outside of DC. We traveled to Brooklyn a few times for site visits and vendor meetings to best prepare us for event day. Working with new vendors in unfamiliar places is always challenging, but we sourced sister companies and got referrals for a fantastic team of vendors. We also traveled with the design and build company as they are intimately familiar with the client’s aesthetic and we were able to re-purpose custom pieces we created for their DC campus and from their DC launch event at Mellon Auditorium.

A short turnaround. We had just around a month to put together a vendor team, travel to Brooklyn and pull together another successful launch event for our client. We got referrals for local vendors in NYC and also looked into sister companies from vendors we work with in DC. This saved a lot of time and research which gave us the extra time to work on design and run of show.

Outcome

As short turnarounds have become our specialty, the client was once again enamored with the event we put together for them, all while based in another city. We look forward to working with them as they launch additional campuses across the globe!
