More Than Merch: Becoming Their On-the-Ground Extension.

The activation wasn’t a pop-up tent. It was a fully constructed, immersive exhibit, built from scratch in a downtown Indy parking lot. From obtaining city permits and securing structural engineers to sourcing scissor lifts and late-night supply runs, Industry leaned on Thumbprint as a local logistics and production partner.

Designing with Purpose.

Our strategic approach was centered on two themes: history and momentum. The challenge was twofold:

  1. Tell a brand story that spanned decades, from Chuck Taylor to  Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (aka SGA), without losing cohesion.
  2. Deliver an experience that resonated with everyone: fans, VIPs, and Converse-endorsed athletes alike.
Tote Bags as Walking Billboards

A rugged canvas tote (a nod to Converse’s classic materials) did double duty, carrying giveaways and acting as a brand beacon throughout the city.

Immersive Signage, Under the Wire

We wrapped the adjacent building with full-size vinyl graphics, lit them with gobo lights, and installed everything in under 24 hours, during one of Indy’s busiest weeks of that year.

Functional Touchpoints Everywhere

From coffee cups to cocktail napkins, every branded touchpoint was purposeful and cohesive, even in the cold outdoor setting.

Thoughtful, Intentional, Seamless

Outcome

Tote bags carried giveaways and high-value items for VIPs (like shoes), and remained usable long after the event.

Outcome

Signage transformed an urban lot into a glowing, branded installation.

Outcome

Food & drink items carried Converse branding into the everyday interactions of the activation.
