Partnerships in Action
See how we've helped partners create memorable, meaningful experiences
Hudson Yards: Community at Scale
Hudson Yards is often viewed as a commercial hub rather than a place for connection and community. To shift that perception, they partnered with Reading Rhythms to bring culture into their public spaces. Together, we produced an eleven-event summer series that transformed the plaza into a gathering place for thousands of readers — Hudson Yards' most successful community activation to date.
Results
- 4,000+ attendees across eleven events
- 15 million+ social impressions
- Partnerships with leading publishing houses & world's biggest authors
- National & Global media coverage
Why It Worked
The partnership drew new audiences to Hudson Yards and drove foot traffic to its retailers, demonstrating how meaningful cultural programming can reshape how people experience a destination.
"Hudson Yards is a vibrant neighborhood where community, art, and culture intersect. When Reading Rhythms approached us to partner, it was an easy 'yes.' Bringing together people from all backgrounds to share in the unique experience of reading and reflection at the Public Square & Gardens, especially during those breathtaking sunsets, is something truly special."
Hinge: No Ordinary Love
Hinge's No Ordinary Love campaign celebrated the fact that people actually find real love on the app. To bring that message to life beyond the screen, Hinge partnered with Reading Rhythms to create a themed reading event in New York City inspired by the campaign and its companion book of love stories. Reading Rhythms turned the concept into an immersive experience where guests read, connected, and shared their own stories of love and dating.
Results
- Sold-out 70+ person event
- Thousands of organic social impressions
- Authentic user-generated content celebrating real relationships
Why It Worked
By aligning with Reading Rhythms' romance-reading community, it extended Hinge's brand narrative and campaign into culture, reinforced Hinge's messaging as a platform for making real-world connections, and deepened engagement with key audience segments.
Aesop: Transforming Retail Into Culture
After seeing strong engagement as a vendor at a Reading Rhythms Fireworks event in Hudson Yards, Aesop partnered with us to host an in-store experience at their Hudson Yards location. The evening brought together content creators and community members for a shared reading ritual paired with Aesop's signature hand treatments that reflected the brand's philosophy of ritual and reflection.
Results
- Sold-out in-store event that drove product discovery and purchase
- Increased foot traffic and direct sales
- Generated organic social content highlighting Aesop's sensory approach to self-care
Why It Worked
The collaboration authentically extended Aesop's brand into an IRL cultural experience, positioning the store as a space for community and connection while introducing the brand to new, culturally engaged audiences.
