  4. CHALLENGE • Esquire is a magazine that defines and celebrates the influential man in this contemporary culture. Following that notion, Esquire hosted the 2nd Anniversary Celebration and ‘Man at His Best Awards Presentation’ in 2015. More than a celebration of Esquire HK’s 2nd anniversary, it was a statement of what the brand entailed. Reinforcing Esquire’s position of being the magazine for the men who have already made it. • While Esquire has been in Hong Kong for some time, the brand was only recently rebranded, targeting more exclusively to an elite and sophisticated audience. A challenge of this event is to reinforce the brand reputation and establishing the connection with the target audience within the local market. • Event Date: 2Dec, 2015 • Target Audience:Local celebrities, prestigious brand representatives, fine folks from the field of fashion and a host of other VIPS • Budget (HKD):$500,000

  5. STRATEGY Esquire represents a class of fine accomplished men. For the brand speaks to the scope and diversity of such men, it was crucial that the event celebrating the ‘Man At His Best’reflected this. Embodying the sophisticated self-defined man, the event was created under the theme of a house warming party. The concept was derived from insight into the Esquire brand. Demonstrating a sophisticated gathering in a light hearted manner, and communicating the Esquire lifestyle.

  6. STRATEGY Celebrating a plethora of interpretations, defining the ‘Man at His Best’, the event space incorporated a range of moods within its design. With a balance of warm and cool tones, giving variety to the guests and providing a well-rounded experience through the house of Esquire. The wealth of tones also add to the occasion. By using warmer tones at the lounge area, guests enter into a welcoming atmosphere, allowing them to bond with each other. By contrast, cool tones used for the stage illuminates the award presentation, providing a more sophisticated appearance. The use of venue is also key to the overall event. This year, the presentation took place at ‘KONG’, a car park turned art gallery. The unique setting speaks to the brand which is full of diversity and not bound to a certain interpretation. Depicting a rich illustration of the ‘Man at His best’ to the guests.

  7. EXECUTION The journey starts with the invite. As the precursor to the big event, the invite acted as a tease of what’s to be expected. The lighthearted design in the form of a napkin featuring a blue crosshatch pattern hinted at the housewarming theme. A homey kitchen area, set with molecular food is available for guests to enjoy. This counter allows guests to bond as they shared the experience. Also flushed with warm lighting, is a space in the form of a living room. Fully furnished with long plush sofas, a coffee table and TV set, the space allows guests to slow down and relax as they as they enjoy the company of others. Creative art pieces around the room gives accent to the rich taste for the finer things Esquire embodies.

  8. EXECUTION An advantage of this venue was the cargo sized lift within the event space. By redecorating it and installing a cocktail bar, it was transformed into a fun transitional space for guests. Fully utilizing the different floors of the venue, the main area used for the presentation of awards could adopt a different look and feel. Adopting a more modern and simplistic design with cool tones to match, the environment emphasized the stage, successfully directing attention to the awards presentation.
