Create an Experience People Will Remember

Traditional advertising still has its place, but today’s consumers are looking for something more engaging than another banner ad or commercial. They want experiences they can participate in, photograph, and share with others.

If you’re ready to create a pop-up shop that draws a crowd, a trade show exhibit that becomes the talk of the convention floor, or a branded activation that leaves a lasting impression, MadeFirst has the creativity, craftsmanship, and technology to bring your vision to life. Reach out today – let’s work together to build something people will never forget.

Liquid IV Flavor House at Project Glow

For this 30x30' maze-style interaction, MadeFirst fabricated vinyl wrapped walls, interactive rotating hexagon windows, themed LED light pieces, dimensional logos, and a giant Cherry Ring Pop. We had so much fun seeing the crowd dance to the DJ set and immerse themselves in the space, and we can't wait for the next stop!
