Winner: Marriott Marquis Chicago Hotel Opening
Submitted by BMF Media
BMF Media produced the opening of the Marriott Marquis Chicago hotel in November 2017, combining standard event elements with innovative technologies such as cocktails that were created and delivered by drones and a mobile Hypno Eye photo booth that traveled to guests. To make the check-in area more exciting for guests, BMF created a visual entry wall that had a light projection of a Chicago streetscape map. The event also featured an interactive installation of LED stacked cubes that projected and mimicked the silhouettes of guests as they danced. The event resulted in 1.35 million social media impressions for Marriott.
