Chicago / Lakefront and the Magnificent Mile
Navy Pier, the hotels along the river and the retail blocks of the Magnificent Mile. Streeterville packs a lot of event space into a few walkable blocks.
Navy Pier hosts consumer shows, galas and summer festivals back to back. Pier logistics are their own thing: timed dock access, long pushes from the dock to the hall, and crowds that arrive all at once. We plan the push, bring carts and power, and run stations that keep moving when the doors open.
A press or an embroidery machine inside a store turns shoppers into a crowd. We have run in store activations for apparel brands in several cities, and the Magnificent Mile is built for them: high foot traffic, flagship footprints and brand teams who want every piece personalized. Stations are sized to the sales floor and can be fully white label.
Chicago is where we were established in 2009, so a Streeterville event gets a crew from down the road and gear that is already in the region. Our quotes are all in. No travel fees, no hotel line items, no equipment shipping. The number we quote is the number you pay.
We built our own software to run every event, from the first order to the final report.
Size, design, the name or initials they want on it. Two minutes at the screen, then they walk away and get a text when it is ready.
Every station pulls from the same stock. When a size runs low it greys out on every guest screen at once, so nothing runs out quietly.
Completed orders, queue depth, turnaround time and remaining inventory, live on your phone from anywhere in the building.
The same crews and platform handle a 200 person retreat and a multi day program with over 100,000 guests. We have pushed more than 2,000 personalized orders through one three day activation without a line forming.
Your activation in Navy Pier and Streeterville runs on the identical ordering platform and live client dashboard as one in Chicago or Las Vegas. Same crews, same equipment, same software.
We work Chicago constantly and know the Pier dock and push routine. Tell us the hall and the dates and we plan the load in around the Pier schedule.
Yes. In store activations are one of our favorite formats. We size the station to the floor and work around store hours for setup.
Ballrooms and rooftop spaces in Streeterville hotels are a regular setup for us. We coordinate dock, elevators and power with the hotel.
