01 · Source / cultural truth
A global brand system meeting the realities of many distinct venues.
02 · Promise / audience experience
Guests encounter one coherent hospitality world wherever they arrive.
03 · Proof / delivery evidence
One environmental system translated across 16 host cities and three countries.
World-building idea
The program required one coherent environmental language to operate across 16 host cities, three countries, multiple hospitality tiers, dramatically different venues, and overlapping production timelines.
01System at scale
One language. Sixteen host cities.
Jake translated global brand systems into venue graphics and physical hospitality environments for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Official Hospitality program with TBA Group UK.
02Hospitality in use
The system had to feel coherent at every scale.
Publicly published final-event photography shows the brand operating across reception, lounges, terraces, food-and-beverage environments, guest gifts, furnishings, and service touchpoints—evidence of a system designed for real hospitality use.

A completed terrace environment brings the hospitality identity into architecture, furnishings, florals, and live programming.
The visual system supports a clear, warm arrival experience.
Brand, furniture, floral direction, and service zones operate as one guest environment.
Large-format graphics establish a strong north star across an active service environment.
Small guest touchpoints carry the system at table scale.
The finished environment frames the moments guests came to share.
The experience extends into keepsakes and branded details.
A lounge environment combines spatial rhythm, comfort, service, and bold brand presence.
