➡️ Gold Award at the Event Awards 2021 in the “Brand Engagement Event” category ⬅️
In early summer 2021, the WHITE RHINO team organised and executed the “Nespresso x Chiara Ferragni | Exclusive Event in Athens Riviera” to celebrate the launch of Nespresso’s new limited-edition collection. The event was a resounding success, earning a Gold Award at the Event Awards 2021 in the “Brand Engagement Event” category.
The Podimatas Group approached Tom Kolokithas, the executive producer of DTMH Digital Studio, to collaborate on the event. Tom brought me on board as a partner of the DTMH team at the time.
It was a scorching couple of days in Athens, at the luxurious Four Seasons – Astir Palace. The sun was shining, and the production crew worked tirelessly amidst a sea of chic, pink, Chiara Ferragni-themed decor. My role was to coordinate the deployment of five filmmakers and two photographers across the set. Sounds simple, right? Not quite! The event lasted only an hour, and with Chiara Ferragni constantly on the move, the crew had to adapt their positions seamlessly. It was like orchestrating a choreography that needed to remain completely invisible.
On the day of the event, Kimon Fragkakis, as an excellent host that he is, everything had been meticulously planned. Each team member knew their exact positions and movement paths. When Chiara Ferragni arrived, the event began—and so did the magic! Sometimes, even if you feel like you know someone through social media, meeting them in person reveals their true, radiant stardust!
In the days following the event, I collaborated with Chris Mathioudakis (photographer) and Davina Retsi (video editor) to deliver the best shots and create a short video highlighting the unforgettable night.
This astonishing event was made possible by the seamless collaboration between Podimatas Group, WHITE RHINO, and DTMH, with me contributing as the event’s director. And… voila!
