Multi-city brand activations

The same sketch in every city on the tour.

Certified artists in 12 hubs drawing in one studio style, on one paper stock, under one contract. A guest in Houston takes home the same piece as a guest in New York — and your team deals with one point of contact for the whole program.

What you are solving

Three questions every planner asks first.

  1. 01

    Consistency, city to city

    Every artist trains for months in the studio style before their first event, and every sketch is reviewed against the standard. For a program we train the same core group on your format and keep the paper and sleeves identical from the first city to the last.

  2. 02

    One brief, not twelve

    You send one brief and one artwork file. We print the custom paper for every location, staff each city from the local hub, and every event runs the same way: photo sign-up, a personal page by text, pick-up at the table.

  3. 03

    Local teams where you are going

    In our hubs the artists and hosts are local, so there are no flights or hotels on the program. Beyond the hubs, we travel.

How it works

Your guests enjoy the art instead of queueing for it.

  1. Two artists set up under an umbrella at a rooftop brand activation
    01

    Setup

    Our team arrives one hour before the start time to set up, and that prep hour is not billed. Every event is staffed with artists and a host, so the artists do one thing: sketch.

  2. Three guests at brand activations photographed for their sign-up
    02

    Sign-up by photo

    The host takes each guest’s photo, name and mobile number. Twenty seconds, and they are back to the party — nobody sits or stands for a portrait.

  3. A guest in the Chanel boutique looking at her sketch
    03

    A personal page for every guest

    Each guest gets a text with their photo, their guest number and the approximate wait, and the page updates itself as the queue moves.

  4. A guest at a rooftop brand activation holding her finished sketch
    04

    Sketch ready, pick-⁠up, the reveal

    The moment the sketch is done the guest gets a photo of it by text, then picks it up at the table — signed, matted in a protective sleeve, theirs to keep.

The package

What a program looks like

Alisa Maxime outside a store during a brand event

  • Each location is usually one or two artists for four hours; the team size follows the guest count.

  • 40 certified artists across the US draw in the exact same studio style, so a multi-city program looks the same in every city, with your logo on the paper everywhere.

  • Every package includes custom-printed paper with your logo, event title or date, a protective sleeve and mat for each artwork, an on-site assistant who takes the sign-ups and runs the pickup, and a one-hour early arrival for setup that is not billed.

  • Setup needs: one 4 ft table and a chair per artist, access to a nearby outlet, and an indoor or covered spot.

  • A 50% deposit books the date. After the deposit we ask for the title, names or logo to print on your custom paper.

The hubs

Good to know

Before you book

Where are you based, and do you travel?

40 certified artists in 12 hub cities, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Houston, Austin, Charlotte, Denver, San Antonio, Washington DC and San Francisco, and we travel anywhere in the US. Travel is quoted with the proposal.

How many artists and hours do I need?

It follows from your guest count and how long the room is full: each artist covers 12 guests an hour in Runway or 7 in High-End, and most parties run three to five hours. Store events run a full day inside opening hours. Send the date, guest count and hours and one recommendation comes back.

Can you put our name or logo on the paper?

Yes. A week before the event we print a custom template free: your logo, names, date, colors or a line of your choosing. Send the details once you’ve booked.

What do you need from the venue?

Per artist: a 4 ft table, a chair and a plug, all the tables together in one place, indoors or covered. We arrive an hour early to set up and that hour isn’t billed. Everything else, lighting, signage, materials, the host, comes with us.

Do I need to staff anything on my side?

No. Every event comes with a host who runs sign-up, the queue and pick-up, so the artists only draw. Your planner gets one contact and nothing to manage.

How much does it cost?

Our minimum booking is one artist for three hours, from $1,650. Most events need more artists or hours, so we send one recommendation with the artists, the hours, the guaranteed number of guests sketched and one total price, usually the same day.

When do I pay?

Once the details are set, we send the invoice and a 50% deposit holds the date. The balance is due before the event.
