Influencer Workout Event

About the

‘Unleash Your Inner 80s’ Event

Samsung partnered with Edelman to create Unleash Your Inner 80s — a nostalgic, high-energy influencer event designed to promote their latest product campaign. Hosted at Preto Loft, one of Toronto’s most versatile pop-up & brand activation spaces, the event took full advantage of our seasonal Nature’s Velvet decor installation – a lush, overgrown forest setup – and the ability to combine our East and West Side studios into a single 2,000+ sq ft custom event space.

The result was a dynamic, immersive brand activation venue that seamlessly blended Samsung’s branding with an 80s-inspired wellness theme — creating a camera-ready backdrop for content from every angle.
