What we did

  • Led the project. Lenzo, our event partner and subcontractor, led the activation design and build
  • Ran The Career Canteen, a canteen-themed stamp journey, at four expos over 10 event days
  • Measured genuine interest with reserved postcards and staff surveys

Let’s create your impact.
