AlphaSense
HIGHLIFE Productions partnered with Factory360 to produce a two-day experiential pop-up for AlphaSense at FESTIVÁL Café in New York City.
For the activation, FESTIVÁL was transformed into The Signal Room—a fully branded, immersive environment designed to bring the AlphaSense brand to life. HIGHLIFE managed the venue, production logistics, fabrication, branding, lighting, hospitality, and on-site execution, seamlessly transforming an operating NYC restaurant into a custom brand experience.
THE EXPERIENCE
The objective was to take an existing hospitality space and completely immerse guests in the AlphaSense brand—without losing the warmth and energy of a real New York City restaurant.
For one day, FESTIVÁL Café became The Signal Room, a custom-branded environment designed for conversation, connection, hospitality and discovery.
HIGHLIFE worked alongside Factory360 to bring the experience to life, managing the venue transformation, production logistics, hospitality and on-site execution.
FROM CAFÉ TO BRAND EXPERIENCE
Every element of the existing space was considered as part of the transformation.
Custom branding and environmental graphics were integrated throughout the café, while furniture, lighting, audio and guest-facing areas were reconfigured to support the activation.
The result was a space that felt unmistakably AlphaSense while still feeling natural, polished and distinctly New York.
