To celebrate the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Nimblist worked with Nike to create the Nike Hall of Phenomenal. This interactive event took place over six days in New York City and included art installations and trial runways highlighting two styles of cleats, the Mercurial and the Magista, worn by athletes competing in the World Cup. We worked to create an innovative and engaging event allowing guests to test the dexterity and performance of the featured soccer cleats on the Skills Track and in the Hexagon game.

The Hall of Phenomenal also showcased a first-hand look of the Nike F.C. fall clothing and cleat collection. In addition, the event played host to the Winner Stays soccer tournament, which was held on the Hall of Phenomenal outdoor soccer field.

Emerald Cup Supply Co. was a brand born of the world-renowned event, The Emerald Cup, which annually establishes the standard of excellence in the cannabis industry by promoting an ethical and sustainable world filled with community, learning, and organic sun-grown cannabis.

In 2019, Nimblist helped with all stages of this brand development and launch including naming, logo design featuring hand drawn script, a stylized tagline and product design. To help establish the brand, we also wrote and created the brand guide and printed materials, such as business cards and menu cards. In addition, our team assisted with the design of the pop-up product booth at the Emerald Cup festival in December 2019, which was built around the use of natural woods and the inclusion of cannabis plants.

For Draft 2018, we provided the production design for Draft Eve presented by Verizon. The event was held this year at The Rustic in Dallas, TX. Verizon sponsored the evening’s concert with Leon Bridges which was for invited guests only. In addition to the concert, attendees enjoyed complimentary beverages and food in a branded experience. This was the fourth year Nimblist partnered with the NFL on Draft Eve.

At the Adolphus Hotel, VIPs were invited to follow the draft in an exclusive venue by invitation only. The Legends Lounge is a private hospitality space open exclusively for draftees, their families as well as current and former NFL players during the Draft. We were honored to provide the production design for both this space and the Legends Luncheon (NFL Off the Field Huddle). The Luncheon, which featured former players discussing what it’s like to play football and their journey getting into and out of professional football, was taped at the Joule Hotel in Dallas. It airs September 5, 2018. These opportunities allow the players and families to maintain deep ties with the NFL supporting the League’s football tradition.

The Hunter for Target Ultimate Family Festival was a ticketed one-day event to launch the collaboration between Hunter and Target brands. The event site featured a unique retail activation showcasing the new collection, engaging family activities, food & drink and a music stage featuring artists such as Charlie XCX, One Republic, Troye Sivan, Charlie Puth and DJ QuestLove.

Nimblist partnered with David Stark Design to successfully execute this outdoor one day festival in beautiful Pasadena, California.

Our scope included stage, talent, and site management, infrastructure planning, technical design and production, vendor management, coordination and contract administration, budget management of elements, on site design and production execution teams and lighting design for the performance stage and pop up shop.

The design included individually controlled and full image mapping of 48 TVs. The stacked TV screens created the performance backdrop. Blue multidirectional lasers highlighted Future throughout the performance.

Water is an essential part of our daily lives and together we can learn the importance of water conservation and protecting our local environment. Our team had the honor of working with the Lancaster Conservancy for their annual Water Week celebration. With the support of many local sponsors, the Conservancy was able to host educational and fun filled events throughout the week such as Streamside Care Workday, Riverland Trail Festival, Harbor Day Tour and Native Plant Conference.

The Nimblist team coordinated and lead in the project management, graphic design and event branding. Informational flyers, postcards and vinyl graphics were placed around Lancaster city to help raise awareness and encourage residents to participate and donate to water and environmental conservation.

We have been working with the Conservancy for three years now building this event. It is one we take great pride in because it was the brainchild of our CEO, Spike Brant, and a good friend as they kayaked local waterways.

When we have the chance to give where we live, we take to it with zeal! The Lancaster County Conservancy worked with us to develop a local festival focusing on clean water issues. This project allowed us to address challenges a typical rock show might not: how do we entertain and educate an audience? How do we turn set dressing, lighting, and design into concrete, measurable change for Lancaster County and the Conservancy? We developed a brand for non-profits and businesses to pool their resources under, guided by the environmental expertise of the Conservancy. We assisted with development efforts by creating marketing and PR pieces allowing the Conservancy to exceed sponsorship goals and build support for all the activities.

For the first week in June, Lancaster came to life with tours of our waterways, a film series, a branded beer, and more. Check out the video and one of the social media animations below.

Water Week’s first year was a wild success with sponsors from all parts of the county. As Water Week develops year by year, we’re excited to see how we can impact our community and how we can “use our powers for good.”
