At The CREO, we had the privilege of co-organizing and producing the Meet the Founder conference in collaboration with the Puig Beauty & Fashion Comms team, featuring Vivek Sahni, the inspiring founder of Kama Ayurveda.

Our journey took us to India, where we visited Vivek at his factory in Coimbatore. Alongside the brilliant journalist Sujata Assomul, we had a deep, intimate conversation with Vivek about his story and how Kama Ayurveda came to life.

We captured this experience in a beautifully crafted video and later brought Vivek to Paris for a special live Q&A with our Puig community. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with him on a deeper level and hear his insights up close.

See the company LinkedIn post about it.

This year, we curated a truly unique experience at the Venice Biennale. As part of our commitment to exploring the transformative power of creativity, we designed an inspiration trip focusing on uncovering the most impactful and thought-provoking art on display.

The journey was centered around the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale, themed STRANIERI OVUNQUE, with a carefully curated selection of the best pavilions and exhibitions guided by our art expert, Iciar Sanchez-Mangas from Mapping Culture and by Art expert Blanca Vallejo. Participants gained deep insights into contemporary art's most exciting voices, trends, and ideas discovering the work f artists like Sandra Gamarra Heshiki, Sol Calero, Ivan Argote, Manaal Al'Dowayan, Yuko Mori, Archie Moore, Jeffrey Gibson, among many others.

Beyond the Biennale, we opened the doors to Venice’s hidden treasures, including exclusive visits to private collections and historic palazzos. These moments offered a rare glimpse into the city’s cultural fabric and allowed us to engage with the city an a more authentic and intimate way.

This trip was an opportunity to connect with the cultural pulse of Venice and its role as a global epicenter of creativity.

We sneaked into the Botanical garden in Barcelona. I love how beautifully peaceful this story came out, considering all the craziness that was going on around it in real life.
