Every great brand has a story to tell that gives it purpose and meaning. 18.213 digs deep into the DNA of an entrepreneur’s idea and discovers what makes it unique and creates unique Pop-Up events that are grounded in PURPOSE, designed as a STORY and staged as a sensory experience.

We call it “Event Therapy”.

Every great brand was inspired by an idea and ignited with a clear purpose that inspires your customers to connect to what you stand for in a meaningful and emotional way, its your Story. Through my formulaic and deep dive approach I unpack exactly what that Story is and we start to build a strategic and tactical framework for your brand positioning.

We are in the business of making dreams happen.

In the Spring of 2012, we decided to launch the first Pop-up venue in Egypt, we were lucky enough to have exceptional entrepreneurs that took a chance on the concept.

We took part in their different narratives, in art, fashion and design and  created dynamic events that engaged the audience's senses and ultimately inspired them to connect with their stories.
It was a phenomenal success and got a lot of people talking and then it became a trend.

We moved continents to Montreal for 2 years.  Decided to learn more about event planning and took a degree.  

Now we are back with BIGGER DREAMS to inspire entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into exceptional experiences that enhance their stories with emotion ,connection and meaning. 

18.213 believes in the power of collaboration, by working closely with our clients we learned that PASSION is infectious and it creates POSITIVE VIBES for everyone involved.
