Visual Conductor partners with UEG Worldwide to craft two 30’ x 30’ trade show booths for Dove at Beautycon NY. The first booth is an experiential launch of Dove’s #ShowUs campaign: the brand further advocates real women in advertising, by creating an inclusive photo series, with Getty Images and GirlGaze. The powerful social impact journey starts with 1) Revealing The Truth: guests are confronted with oversized statistics, collages that convey lack of diversity in media, disconnect, 2) Revealing Unconscious Bias: survey kiosks where guests learn of subtle female bias, 3) #ShowUs Collection: a celebratory portrait gallery of diverse women worldwide, ending with 4) #ShowUs Photo Booth: guests participate in their own photo moment. The second booth is a colorful “gift shop” after the #ShowUs exhibit, showcasing the new Dove Body Mousse, personal care product displays and hand massage demo stations. Proud and humbled to be involved in this campaign!

Visual Conductor created a VIP launch event for Dreams.tv, an app that transforms how people watch TV content on mobile. To position Dreams as a dynamic brand and generate buzz within PR / tech / TV industries, we designed a sophisticated, immersive experience. At the entrance, guests walk through a translucent installation with color overlays to find themselves transported to a Dream-like landscape. A forest installation of 18 monitors, each playing different content and oriented to showcase the app’s vertical format, is interspersed throughout the space. Neon light installations programmed and video mapped with Dream’s brand colors purple, magenta, orange and yellow further evoke a dreamy state. During the presentation, all eyes are directed toward the double-sided 80” monitors in the center of the room. In cinematic fashion, to announce a new show, the screens fade to black, a preview begins and once the iconic soundtrack plays, the crowd goes crazy… The X-Files is the newest show to join the app!
