This past November, we had the honor of partnering with Black Ambition Prize for their 4th annual So Ambitious Dinner and Demo Day event 🌟 We celebrated the mission to close the wealth gap and empower Black and Hispanic entrepreneurs to build limitless futures, creating a space for founders, attendees, and investors to network, collaborate, and build community. At Spring Place, we highlighted this year’s cohort of founders with an inspiring talk-back featuring Pinky Cole and Felecia Hatcher. As Demo Day commenced, we designed a gallery-style spotlight wall showcasing past founders and Black Ambition’s incredible achievements and global expansion. Our DJ set the atmosphere with light refreshments leading up to the live pitching competition and winner announcement. To ensure all eyes were on this magnificent event, we coordinated PR efforts, inviting media to cover the accomplishments of these remarkable entrepreneurs alongside Pharrell's lasting impact on the community.

To launch SheaMoisture's Skin Cleansing Collection, we transformed the luxurious Fouquet Hotel and spa into a  “GLOWasis” and welcomed over 45 influencers and editors to a retreat celebrating relaxation, self-care, and SheaMoisture’s rich heritage through their plant-based formula, and body wash made especially for melanin-rich skin. The day began with an engaging breakfast event featuring a panel discussion with Blake Lawren, Eni Popoola, and Unilever R&D Scientist Kierstyn Harris.

They enjoyed spa treatments designed to educate them on the collection’s transformative properties, including deep tissue massages, revitalizing facials, and soothing foot treatments with the new line, as well as a calming sound bath experience led by wellness expert, Teya Knapp. Throughout the day, guests were able to get a professional portrait photo during individual #ShowThatGlow photo sessions to capture their radiance. Each guest received a personalized “Glow Up Kit” with the full collection, a plush bathrobe, and other self-care essentials. They also created custom SheaMoisture Glow Ritual sections on their Amazon storefronts, sharing personalized product "cocktails" with their audiences. QR codes placed throughout the space allowed guests to easily share on social with their audiences, making GLOWasis a luxurious celebration of confidence and inner glow.

In continuation of the A$AP Rocky x PUMA Group collaboration, we took over the PUMA Flagship in NYC earlier this month for the highly anticipated drop of the new collection. Inspired by night racing and neon city lights, the collection infuses motorsport silhouettes with hits of neon and A$AP Rocky’s unique design ethos. Fans had the chance to be the first to purchase while taking part in a one of a kind shopping experience along with product customization and other giveaways. Guests took photos at an entry photo moment that replicated the set of the campaign video featuring live models, as well as a CCTV photo wall with live 'surveillance' footage across 16 digital screens. Rocky made an appearance hyping up the crowd and ending the event with an surprise performance. The A$AP Rocky x PUMA collection is available now on puma.com.
