    The Tamara Mellon campaign and what Elevate My Brand did for them
    Tamara Mellon wanted to do popups tied in with the create-cultivate team. They had to execute their first concept in 9-10 weeks. Elevate My Brand helped build out this beautiful rainbow wall of all shoes in different sizes. People could pull them off the wall, try them on and buy them. And it was a super successful national tour.
