The Surrey
Upper East Side Stories
A discreet luxury hotel on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, The Surrey challenged us with giving new life to images that had been in full rotation for several years. With the goal of defying typical hotel conventions while enhancing a bit of edge already inherent in the brand’s DNA, we used bold design, typography and irreverent copy to enliven the work with more storytelling and confidence.

Hot Cocoa Cart
In partnership with The Surrey and Parisian confectioner La Maison du Chocolat, we designed a roving bicyclette and cart to sell a signature blend of hot cocoa throughout the Upper East Side. After garnering press and buzz about town, including features in The New York Times and Forbes, we were asked to follow up with the creation of a custom ice cream cart to extend the activation’s success to the warmer months.
