Espolòn Cristalino Launch Party
A launch party of Espolòn Cristalino—Espolòn’s newest tequila offering—took place on Sept. 20 in New York. The interactive experience, created by agency Berlin Cameron, aimed to immerse guests in the beauty of Mexican caves and their crystalline waters. Producers use projection mapping to depict caves, waterfalls, jungles, and water onto the surrounding walls.

Delta Air Lines' Parallel Reality Experience
Delta Air Lines' Parallel Reality Experience
Delta Air Lines recently unveiled its first Parallel Reality experience at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. The technology, developed by Misapplied Sciences, provides a more personalized and streamlined airport experience by allowing up to 100 customers to each see their personalized flight information on a single digital screen. For the first public installation of this Parallel Reality technology, Delta teamed with creative agency MKG to design an experience that would help capture customers’ attention.

MKG built an asymmetrical, LED-illuminated archway, as well as an adjacent kiosk to help guide customers through this new technology experience. “We focused on clean lines and consumer accessibility,” said Will Brockmeyer, MKG’s executive creative director. “Working with Delta, we ensured that the kiosk screens and scanners could accommodate people of varying heights, which added to the welcoming nature of the space.”

Kering Foundation's Caring for Women Dinner
Kering Foundation's Caring for Women Dinner
The Kering Foundation—founded in 2008 by luxury group Kering to address violence against women and improve the lives of survivors—held its first-ever Caring For Women Dinner at New York's The Pool on Sept. 15. Hosted by Anderson Cooper, the star-studded event was co-chaired by the likes of Salma Hayek, Gloria Steinem, and Samuel L. Jackson, and raised more than $3 million to benefit a variety of organizations that address gender-based violence. Kering partnered with global event production, fund-raising, and talent engagement agency JWP (formerly Josh Wood Productions), which facilitated everything from the red carpet and cocktail hour to the table settings and dining room decor.

“Creating an elegant and intimate setting within this iconic space was essential,” said Josh Wood, CEP and founder of JWP, whose team surrounded the space’s large, square pool with dozens of candles that, when lit, were reflected in the water to complement the stage’s shimmering gold backdrop.

JWP worked with Kering to curate a bespoke menu from renowned chef Dominique Crenn, which included a tomato tart with black truffle and mushroom fricassee. For the table settings as well as guest gifts, JWP facilitated logistics with the historic Italian brand Ginori, whose colorful plates lined the tables in the dining room. The agency also worked with celebrated floral designer Raùl Ávila on the evening’s lush flower arrangements. “We were honored to work with the Kering Foundation on this incredible inaugural event to raise funds for NGOs doing exceptional work to prevent and address violence against women and support survivors,” Wood said.
