About the project

JBL took over 3TEN at ACL Live with an immersive, Austin-inspired corner store experience featuring live music, artist interviews, giveaways, and unique activations, celebrating the launch of the JBL Flip 7 and Charge 6 portable speakers.

For the activation, I hand-painted JBL speakers as one-of-a-kind giveaway pieces and designed a custom illustrated postcard for the space. Guests could explore the store, be among the first to hear the new speakers, play to win products, grab custom festival essentials, and enjoy daily performances.
