Events
The venue played host to 6 events: A media preview event and hard-hat tour when construction was still underway, a private cooking class team-builder for all tenants, an invitation-only pre-opening event, the public grand opening, and a night market. To deliver the message early on that fanfare was in the DNA of this brand, we even made the job fair an occasion worth celebrating. After interacting with this market across its many touchpoints, one could easily say, “it’s a vibe.”
All together, the events earned about 15 million social media impressions.
