In New York, a giant pink flamingo floated down the East River, in front of landmarks including the Brooklyn Bridge. The campaign launch also included a party at Pier 17, hosted by Chrissy Teigen and DJ Khaled. The Acceleration Community of Companies produced the event and designed the floats.

HBO Muhammad Ali Pop-Up
For HBO’s new documentary What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali, which was released May 14, the network partnered with Team Epiphany to produce a weekend-long experience that celebrated aspects of the late boxer and activist’s life and career featured in the film. The pop-up ran May 11 and 12 in a vacant space at 45 Grand Street in New York’s SoHo neighborhood. The center of the pop-up, dubbed the Athlete space, featured a life-size boxing ring. The space played looping audio of Ali’s “Rumble in the Jungle” speech. See more: HBO Took Guests to the Ring With a Muhammad Ali Pop-Up

The video was edited on site and could be shared on social media. See more: HBO Took Guests to the Ring With a Muhammad Ali Pop-Up
