Malibu - Greece
Creating a Tropical Brand Experience for Malibu: A Pop-Up at Divania Apollon Palace & Thalasso
At Cube Projects Ltd, we’re passionate about turning imaginative ideas into unforgettable brand experiences. Our recent collaboration with Four By Two, a premier design and architectural firm in London, took us to the stunning Divania Apollon Palace & Thalasso hotel in Greece. Our mission? To create a vibrant pop-up for Malibu that would transport guests to a tropical paradise, blending seamlessly with the hotel’s luxurious setting.
The Vision: A Tropical Escape
Malibu, known for its iconic rum and tropical vibes, sought to bring a piece of paradise to Greece through a brand experience pop-up. The challenge was to craft an environment that would not only reflect Malibu’s laid-back, beachy spirit but also enhance the luxurious ambiance of the Divania Apollon Palace & Thalasso. The goal was to create an immersive atmosphere that would captivate guests and elevate their overall experience.
Our Approach: Crafting the Perfect Tropical Atmosphere
To achieve this vision, we focused on three key elements: driftwood-style wayfinding, vibrant brand colors, and an engaging coconut shy marketing area. Here’s a closer look at how we brought each aspect to life:
1. Driftwood Beach-Style Wayfinding
Creating an inviting atmosphere began with our wayfinding design. We opted for driftwood-style signage that exuded a natural, beachy feel. The use of faux driftwood elements helped to evoke the charm of a coastal retreat, guiding guests through the pop-up space while enhancing the overall theme. Each sign was meticulously crafted to not only serve its functional purpose but also to blend harmoniously with the luxurious surroundings of the hotel.
The driftwood signs featured carefully chosen fonts and Malibu’s signature colors, ensuring that they were both visually appealing and on-brand. This attention to detail helped to create a cohesive experience, guiding guests seamlessly from one area of the pop-up to another.
2. Painting in Brand Colors
To further immerse guests in the Malibu experience, we incorporated the brand’s vibrant colors throughout the space. From walls to decorative elements, the use of Malibu’s signature hues added a splash of tropical flair and created a cohesive visual identity. The painting was done with precision to ensure that the colors were rich and true to the brand’s aesthetic, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere.
3. Immersive Coconut Shy Marketing Area
One of the highlights of the pop-up was the immersive coconut shy marketing area. Inspired by traditional carnival games, this interactive feature allowed guests to engage with the brand in a fun and memorable way. We designed and produced graphics that captured the playful spirit of the coconut shy, creating an eye-catching focal point that drew guests in.
The area was carefully decorated to fit the tropical theme, with vibrant graphics and creative use of space to make the coconut shy a standout attraction. The interactive nature of the feature not only entertained guests but also created a memorable brand experience that left a lasting impression.
The Installation: Bringing the Vision to Life
With the design and production elements in place, our team executed a seamless installation at the Divania Apollon Palace & Thalasso hotel. From setting up the driftwood signage to painting and producing the graphics in the coconut shy area, we ensured that every detail was executed to perfection.
The Result: A Memorable Brand Experience
The Malibu pop-up at Divania Apollon Palace & Thalasso was a resounding success. The combination of driftwood-style wayfinding, vibrant brand colors, and the engaging coconut shy area created a captivating atmosphere that transported guests to a tropical paradise. The pop-up not only enhanced the luxurious setting of the hotel but also provided an immersive and interactive brand experience that delighted all who visited.
