Challenge
Nightlife in NYC is competitive. The challenge was to differentiate yacht events from other clubs and parties. By focusing on luxury, community, and viral social content, IboatNYC positioned itself as the trendsetter in the party space.
Strong branding creates loyalty, where attendees identify with the experience and share it on social media — further strengthening the brand’s presence.
Solution
These are the primary touchpoints where audiences interact with the brand: TikTok, Instagram, ticketing pages, and live events. Each touchpoint must deliver a consistent high-energy party vibe. The ease with which people discover and share content is crucial. A smooth, engaging UX builds trust and excitement.
