Execution
To create a truly Priceless experience, we went big and built a high-end restaurant above the neon lights off a Time Square billboard. Priceless Table generated a unique and shareable experience that captured the spirit of New York and the nation’s attention through paid and earned media.
Cardholders booked reservations through OpenTable to enjoy a five-star meal catered by world-famous chef Marcus Samuelsson.
Popular national and NYC radio personality Elvis Duran heightened awareness through a 15-minute on-air interview with Samuelsson and surprised listeners with a series of giveaways.
Added-value OOH on the Reuters and NASDAQ signs amplified branding throughout Times Square.
