Maddox & Company
Curated Influencer & VIP Brand Dinner
Atlanta, Georgia | April 2025
Overview
In April 2025, I produced an intimate, invite-only influencer and VIP dinner for Maddox & Company to formally introduce the Enduring Legacy Collection alongside a ready-to-wear collaboration.
The objective was awareness and positioning. The dinner was designed to refine Maddox & Company within the luxury lifestyle space and align the brand with tastemakers, media, and culturally relevant voices in an intimate, intentional environment. This was a strategic visibility.
Brand Context
Maddox & Company is a lifestyle brand rooted in heritage, craftsmanship, and legacy-driven storytelling.
The Enduring Legacy Collection marked a pivotal moment; signaling maturity, permanence, and expansion into elevated wardrobe staples.
This launch required:
• Cultural credibility
• Intentional influencer alignment

Secondary Goals:

Strategy
Rather than a large-scale activation, we chose intimacy as strategy.
1. Guest Curation
30 hand-selected attendees:
• Diverse influencers across fashion and lifestyle.
• Select tastemakers + VIP consumers
• Brand partners
Every guest aligned with the brand’s visual identity, audience demographic, and long-term growth strategy.
2. Narrative-Led Experience
The evening was structured to unfold as a story:
• Arrival + branded welcome moment
• Seated curated 5-course dinner
• Founder-led storytelling around legacy and design inspiration
• Intentional product placement woven into tablescape styling
Ready-to-wear pieces to living organically within the space rather than feeling promotional.
