"Brandless" does a Pop-Up in the Meatpacking District, so pedestrians can try and taste their goodies before ordering online

Brandless does a second pop-up in New York, following their debut in L.A. with an experiential short-term location. “Brandless” is a company that sells exclusively online, and had never shown their merchandise to the public in an actual retail location.

The main goal of the campaign “pop-up with purpose” is for people to taste and try their products, to create a brand awareness and get more clients into their online sales funnel.

Nothing is for sale in the showroom, instead they offer an interactive experience, very millennial I must add and everything geared towards social media sharing. It is funny that a company with no brand is doing this huge experiential space to position and market their brand-less brand :). They offer over 350 household essentials, and everything, absolutely everything costs $3.

The Taj Miami; located at the top of "The Palace Condominium" has had the magic touch of 3 interesting personalities

The "Taj Miami" is truly a palace in the sky.  A glass cube that feels as if it was magically transported and placed in the rooftop of the Palace Condominium, making it unlike any other cookie cutter unit in Brickell.

The Palace is a building located in what I like to call "Old Brickell" next to the colorful Villa Regina Condominium which is not a popular favorite. Old Brickell for me starts in St. Jude Melkite Catholic Church at the intersection of Brickell avenue and 15th rd. down to the last building before the bridge to Key Biscayne.
