Tin Building

Tin Building

The Tin Building is a sprawling high-end marketplace at the Seaport, conceived and curated by Jean Georges Vongerichten.

The Ask

Develop the Tin Building’s launch campaign strategy and creative concept.

The Tin Building is many things at once: fine dining, casual dining, a marketplace, and retail experiences at varying price points that take inspiration from around the world.

2x4 hired me to help translate the Tin Building’s brand identity and strategy into a launch campaign. Together, we created a colorful story that captures how dynamic and diverse the Tin Building offering is.

Strategy

Globally Inspired, Locally Sourced

A large-scale launch campaign brings together contemporary New Yorkers — actress Katie Holmes, artist Laila Gohar, model Ritchie Shazam, and entrepreneur Coltrane Curtis — to celebrate the myriad experiences of the Tin Building, the city’s newest culinary hotspot.
