RH Minneapolis grand opening campaign

To introduce Restoration Hardware’s newest gallery to the Minneapolis market, I led a two-pronged launch campaign designed to build buzz and elevate the Twin Cities as a destination for premium, consumer-facing brands. The activation included a high-profile grand opening event and a curated influencer brunch, both designed to maximize earned media and social amplification in a short window.

My work included managing all logistics tied to influencer participation—from guest list curation and media coordination to experience design and day-of execution—ensuring content captured at the events aligned with RH’s elevated brand aesthetic and reached key consumer audiences. Campaign highlights:

  • 30+ influencers secured to attend and create content at the opening event including pro athletes, lifestyle influencers and Twin Cities content creators.

  • 3.4M influencer impressions via Instagram

  • 8.6M media impressions from regional press coverage

  • 25+ placements across print, digital, and broadcast outlets

  • Positioned RH as a cultural anchor in a new market while driving local buzz and attendance
