Empire partners with Radical Media to launch Nike's Fuel Band in NYC
On January 19th 2012, Nike invited international press and influencers to the launch of their latest product, the Nike Fuel band.
Guests wore the Fuel Band, which kept track of each mile, minute, and calorie, while they traveled to various activity locations throughout the entire city.Nike took their guests to unique, in-the-know locations throughout the city that added a layer of authenticity and character essential to the experience of each activity.
Some of these experiences included a double dutch performance at an industrial Brooklyn warehouse, pizza making at Williamsburg hot spot, Roberta’s, and a workout led by the Bartendaz at Brooklyn Barbells, an elite weightlifting facility.
The day of the launch, Empire staffed activity locations to ensure each member of the press had a fun and high-end workout experience. Empire provided every location with a women’s and men’s Freshen-Up Kit and a guests refreshments table fit for the pickiest of locavores and gourmands. Both the Freshen-Up kit and the refreshments were sourced through local companies to tie in the personality and life style of the city, making it truly unique New York City experience for international press.

Empire was proud to partner with Radical Media once again to help them deliver an engaging, live-event experience for Nike.
Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.
A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.
Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience. The keynote and breakout sessions were livestreamed through an onsite studio built for this purpose and content was watched online by millions around the world.
Empire is proud to collaborate with Microsoft on this annual, top-tier business communication event.
