H&M — Los Angeles / 2025
NORTH BEVERLY DRIVE OPENING
Launch of H&M's North Beverly Drive flagship through VIP, press, talent, experiential, and public-facing programming.
01 — The Brief
A flagship opening on one of the country’s most iconic retail streets. The store had to arrive as a destination — credible to press and talent, while welcoming to the public from day one.
02 — The Idea
Stage the opening as two connected acts: an intimate VIP and press moment to set the tone, followed by public programming that invited the neighborhood in and kept momentum through the opening weeks.
03 — The Experience
- VIP and press preview featuring talent appearances, curated styling moments, and a coordinated guest arrival experience.
- Public-facing opening programming designed for queue experience, gifting and shareable in-store moments.
- Real-time content capture throughout the event, feeding social, press, and regional channels within hours.

04 — My Role

- PR and press-moment integration
- Budget management
05 — The Impact
