Brand fashion show: the runway where the product is seen walking, is photographed for the next quarter's campaign and is worn to the CEO's next appointment

The corporate brand fashion show in Mexico functions as the moment where the corporate presents the new collection, new line or new positioning in runway format with professional models, VIP guests, specialised press and real-time coverage for Instagram and TikTok. An activation without runway setup ends up photographed with the hotel lighting over the brand; a roadshow without proper model apparel lowers the lookbook quality published in the next collection. The professional activation runs on five layers we hold in workshop: runway setup with architectural lighting, model apparel with the line to present, VIP gift for guests with the press, press kit with dossier of the new line, makeup and styling kit with the brand image. We work with corporates in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Querétaro, Cancún and Los Cabos. Invoicing through CFDI 4.0 to SAT, 16% VAT, deductible as Marketing, Brand or Public Relations expense.
