The Sporting Life in Monte Carlo at Sportel

Tangram executed two jobs at Sportel in Monte Carlo this past October. Based on the heels of MIPCOM, Tangram's presentations for NBA International and HBO Sports were clean and mean. Despite the impression of glamour, a show in Monte Carlo is not withjout its grueling moments - particularly on the roulette wheel!

No Business Like Shvo Business

We hadn't worked with Scott Guerin at SHVO Marketing since our involvement as the fabricator of the The W New York Downtown Hotel & Residences sales office last summer. We were delighted he called to ask for help at Cityscape, the New York iteration of the big real estate show in Dubai. We were happy to help out under short notice help SHVO make a splash at this most important real estate trade show. Thanks to Scott and Michael Shvo, the Czar of Real Estate Marketing, for the business!

212: A Lifestyle, A Destination, A Scene - Nike Mercer Street Block Party Launches Sportswear Line

Nike threw a party on Mercer Street to celebrate the launch of their new Sportswear Store in Soho. Tangram produced the event which was designed by Hunter Tura and his team at 2x4. A hair raising installation on a perfect day in Manhattan caught the attention of seemingly everyone in New York City.

We built up a stadium-like feel to the blocks between Grand and Canal Street to help capture the essence, the kernal, of sports - the heart of the Nike Sportswear line. The buildup was intense, and the entire Tangram team was on hand to help.

Take Me to Your Leader: Tangram at Comic Con for Sci-Fi Channel and Sony Pictures

Once again Tangram was at ComicCon in San Diego, the annual Geek & Freak Fest celebrating all things Sci Fi, Fantasy, and Imagination. The Con has become a huge branding exercise for the Hollywood Bigs, and this year we had a new build for Sony Pictures. Like a diamond, it was multi-facetted, and shone brightly! Thanks to Mike Freeman for reigning it all in.

Perennially the Sci Fi Channel is the show stopper having won myriad design awards for designer collaborator Graft and stud man Stefan Beese. No shortage of brand hungry crowds, we have been able for the past three years to become the sign post at the show, the veritable marker by which all things are measured. The Con is a force. people save up their whole year to dress like Wonder Woman and party down in the Gas Light District of San Diego. Cudos to the Scifi Team: Blake Callaway, Dana Ortiz, Mo Setoodah, and RJ Cupelli.

Tangram Makes "The Commitment" for Nike

"The Commitment" is the story of the dedication of incredible athletes to their team and the game. It examines the heart and soul of a basketball legacy by showcasing the brilliance of the past and the dominance that will define the future.

In honor of that commitment, Nike created a gallery dedicated to Team USA, chronicling their journey from the Dream Team of 1992 to the present-day squad. The exhibit, entitled "The Commitment", opened in New York City on July 10, giving the public a look at the history and future of USA Basketball.

Located in a refurbished branch of Harlem’s famous Training Camp sneaker boutique, the gallery space houses the legendary artifacts and apparel behind each Olympic team. On one wall, photos of the 1986 players. On another, the initial letter sent by Coach K to each member of the current team. And in the center, the kicks worn by Jordan and Barkley on the court in ’92. Artists’ tributes can be found throughout, paying homage to the greatest teams and players in Team USA history.


The gallery also chronicles today’s U.S. Olympic basketball movement, documenting past hardships and detailing the challenges ahead. Watching over the exhibit are two larger-than-life portraits, one of Kobe, the other of LeBron; a symbol of the two greatest players of a generation, overlooking the legacy they stand to inherit. This summer, as Team USA takes the international stage, they’ll be joining the ranks of the most elite players the game has ever seen. They have the skills, the strength, and the dedication to win. But it’s only with true commitment to the game that they’ll bring home the gold."

Tangram created the Commitment for Nike Basketball in sixteen days from concept to completion on the opening night gala attended by the "Redeem Team" on their tour of New York City. Sometimes a plan completely comes together. In order to execute on such a tight timeframe, everything needed to go just right - and it was a commentary on the dedication and "Commitment" of the Tangram Team - that the project went off with such success.
