A DREAME HOLIDAY

Dreame, a home technology brand, needed to stand out in the highly competitive holiday gift guide season. With multiple tech brands vying for media attention and consumer dollars during this crucial retail period, traditional product demonstrations and press events risked getting lost in the seasonal noise.

01 THE ASK

Create an engaging press and influencer event that would position Dreame’s products as must-have holiday items and secure placement in holiday gift guides. The event needed to showcase the products’ functionality while creating memorable content opportunities for attendees to share.

02 THE INSIGHT

Rather than presenting technology in isolation, we recognized that home devices exist within the context of people’s lives and aspirations. The holiday season offers a unique opportunity to tap into both the practical and emotional aspects of home life. By showcasing products within a fully realized living space, we could help media and influencers envision how their audiences would actually use and experience these items.

03 THE SOLUTION

Early Spring transformed the penthouse suite at ModernHaus hotel into an aspirational New York City apartment decorated for the holidays. The immersive environment allowed guests to experience Dreame products in natural use settings rather than sterile demonstration spaces. The space featured multiple engagement points: hands-on product testing stations, professional blow-out services using Dreame hair dryers, and an interactive ornament-making workshop that added a festive, shareable moment to the experience. This approach merged product demonstration with lifestyle aspiration, allowing press and influencers to gather both technical information and compelling content while experiencing the products as they would in their own homes during the holiday season.

MONTAUK CLIMATE

A Digital Garden in a Sea of Suits: Reinventing the Climate Tech Gathering

Montauk Climate is a climate tech incubator focused on building impactful companies through strategic collaboration with mission-driven founders.

01 THE ASK

Create a distinctive event during NYC Climate Week that would effectively bring together funders and founders in the climate technology space, while standing out in an extremely crowded event landscape.

02 THE INSIGHT

The traditional climate tech event landscape is dominated by fireside conversations, pitches, and presentations. These formal environments, typically characterized by corporate atmospheres and conventional networking approaches, often create barriers to authentic connection. The saturation of this format presented an opportunity to differentiate through a more innovative, experiential approach.

03 THE SOLUTION

Early Spring partnered with Toronto-based digital artist Diana Lynn VanderMeulen to create an immersive experience titled “Pixel As Seed.” The installation explored the intersection of digital art and land conservation, drawing inspiration from the artist’s personal experience in revitalizing unused farmland. The pixelated ecological imagery invited attendees to contemplate the relationship between technology and environmental preservation.

04 THE RESULT

The environment facilitated natural networking and authentic conversation earning recognition as a standout gathering during NYC Climate Week, successfully differentiating Montauk Climate while fostering meaningful connections between climate tech leaders and innovators.

WELLFARE

A World Well Nourished

The pandemic has laid bare many of the cracks upon which this country is built, but few needs are more fundamental than our access to food. Food insecurity existed long before COVID-19, but has worsened and especially left low-income communities more vulnerable.

 

While food banks, pantries, and other community-supported programs work tirelessly to close the gap on food scarcity, it isn’t enough to cover the up to 8 billion meal shortfall America is projected to experience over the next year. And incase you missed it—we live in a country where 40 percent of our food is wasted, lost or simply thrown away.

01 THE ASK

Founder, Cole Riley came to Early Spring seeking support in solving the massive food insecurity problem the country faces.

02 THE INSIGHT

Barriers to accessing sufficient food are far too high for far too many, not only due to cost & availability but a lack of adequate education around nourishment and achievable health.

03 THE SOLUTION

Early Spring concepted and designed a non-profit, subscription food service for those in need called Wellfare. Wellfare will deliver nourishing food and drink to those who need it at low-to-no cost.

In parallel, Wellfare will produce relatable & insightful original content around what ‘health’ looks like, lifting the veil on ‘wellness’ & well-being. It will also help brands talk about the work they do with Wellfare in a meaningful way.

04 THE RESULT

The operational and creative chasm between the nonprofit world and the commercial world had to be traversed. Old-world nonprofits may have global reach, but they often fail to treat their beneficiaries with the dignity, the attention, and the care that companies show their consumers.

Early Spring imagined, instead, a nonprofit that does not ignore design, nor branding, nor quality, nor agility. A nonprofit that pays as much attention to the needs of its beneficiaries as companies do to the needs of their consumers. A nonprofit that recognizes that people in need are not just mouths to feed but people, consumers like the rest of us, who want to be healthy, fulfilled, and happy.
