The KDU recently collaborated with Translation Marketing and the Strategic Group to execute visuals for the 2 Kings event during NBA All Stars in New Orleans. During this project we put together a true KDU Global Dream Team. Si Scott from London, Peter Jaworowski from Poland, Justin Maller from Australia, Matt Andrews, Philippe Richardson / Laundry from Los Angeles, along with the KDU NYC core team worked together to create the work. Even the team from Proof 7 NYC jumped in to handle printing. Special thanks to everyone that helped make this go as smooth.
