🫱🏼🫲🏽THE TEAM RECAP
None of this happens by accident, and it certainly doesn’t happen alone. Last Wednesday’s magic came together thanks to a lot of people working very hard behind the scenes so the rest of us could have a good time — as is tradition.
To Parade Agency and their fearless leader Joey — thank you for turning chaos into something that looked effortless. It never is, but you make it look that way.
To Tim Cooper and the whole team of Ambassadors — Anna, Kayla, Anthony, Martim, Joe, and Al — you were everywhere at once, in the best way. The night ran the way it did because you made sure of it.
To Kevin Dowell, who’s been at the helm of Fords’ cool factor since forever — and the man behind our all of our musical endeavors, including this particular dream of a lineup.
Big thanks to United Creatives Studio for once again bringing incredible artwork to life — and for this event especially, the projection mapping that completely transformed the space. 🙌
And to Simon Ford, without whom, quite simply, none of this exists. There’s no Fords Gin story without you at the start of it — thank you for building something worth celebrating.
