This is a later Dr. Martens booth. The booth I worked on was a double-decker, completely open in the front, with a small stage for an acoustic band.

BACKGROUND
When I worked as PR/Promotions Coordinator, then Manager at Dr. Martens, we exhibited at several shows per year, including:
-
World Shoe Associates (now WSA@MAGIC)
-
MAGIC
-
Outdoor Retailer
-
Various regional shows
CHALLENGE
At WSA, to position Dr. Martens as a cutting-edge, youthful, fashion-forward brand in tune with the latest music trends.
SOLUTION
I hand-crafted an eye-catching PR display made of foam core, leather, wire mesh, rivets, and other pieces of metal; designed website kiosks; and sourced booth decor to mimic a music club.
RESULTS
Our booth won the “Best of Show” award at WSA, the largest U.S. footwear trade exhibition.
