FAO Schwarz: Bringing Sing 2 to Life Through Immersive Retail Experiences

FAO Schwarz holiday window display featuring Sing 2 characters, festive decorations, and a Christmas tree.

Challenge

FAO Schwarz came to Midnight Oil, our LA-based experiential out-of-home agency, to produce the holiday window campaign promoting Sing 2 for the brand’s prestigious Manhattan location.

Creation, delivery, and installation all needed to happen flawlessly amid a rise in COVID-19 cases and global supply chain challenges.

Solution

We secured high-quality materials to create a mix of 2D and 3D characters and images for a takeover of 11 large-scale windows as well as the iconic FAO Schwarz Piano Room. 

The 3D characters were hand-painted and mounted onto foam, and the hand-painted title treatment used clear plexi-glass.

Results

We delivered the high-quality campaign on time and left the client saying:

“If I was told I had to do one of these programs but for some reason you weren’t doing the creative… I would have to say no.”
