CAPE created a blueprint to “Make the Kid Famous” with The Patch, a pop-up residence for Sour Patch Kids touring Los Angeles, Austin, El Paso, San Francisco, and Brooklyn.
The space functioned as a hybrid artist residency and mascot-led roadshow, where musicians lived, created, and connected with fans through intimate performances — all while engaging with “The Kid” mascot.

Hosted 5,000+ artists over five years
Won the Clio Award for Experiential Strategy

Production Documents Examples
CAPE has served as an agency of record for multiple leading technology companies, seamlessly adapting to their internal project management, communication and payment systems while maintaining a flawless track record in financial tracking and reconciliation.

Example of a Run of Show (ROS) that outlines Date, Time, Action, Vendor, DRI, and Notes.

Details the arrival and work schedules for all CAPE team members, client staff, vendors, and event personnel.
Example of a call sheet for an experience we developed and produced in Mexico City for Airbnb, including four iterations of the experience.
Example of an overview deck for an experience we developed and produced in London for a technology client.
Example of a deck presenting venue options after thorough internal vetting by Cape for a simultaneous multi-venue product launch across New York for a tech company.
