M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment North America

For Sperry’s SS25 Press Preview, Sperry hosted an al day event for media, influencers and friends of the brand. We showcased our all new collection – the first collection designed by our new design team – and offered guests the ability to customize their Sperry Authentic Original boat shoes with beads and shells, courtesy of Leisure Centre, and charms and chains, thanks to Charms & Chit Chat.  Over 125 people stopped by and walked out with some amazingly fresh looking boat shoes.  Thanks to the teams at M&C Saatchi, Leisure Centre, ABG, Charms & Chit Chat and Hendricks Gin for making this a huge success!
