We're Fever!

These are proprietary experiences in which we follow a data-driven content creation strategy, using analytics to understand audiences, develop and optimize new formats. Some successful examples include the "Candlelight Concert Series" attended by over 3 million guests, the Los Angeles based "Stranger Things: The Drive-Into Experience" co-produced with Netflix, or the "Mad Hatter G&T Party", all launched in multiple cities across the world.
