THE CHALLENGE

OnePlus had already built momentum around its signature pop-ups, creating a recognizable retail format for fans to experience new devices and connect with the brand. The challenge was to evolve that proven format into something more immersive and shareable, while serving the existing fan community and creating enough cultural relevance, participation and product discovery to expand the launch beyond its core audience.
