Internorth Corporation

19th century Swiss artist, Karl Bodmer’s exquisite watercolor collection of the American West provided an outstanding opportunity to provide much needed corporate identity for a little-known billion-dollar corporation.  The Bodmer collection had its debut at a black tie event at New York’s prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art where it received broad media and pubic acclaim as a result of our advance and follow-up campaign to promote its opening.

Note:  All exhibits featured black tie cocktail receptions, some including sit-down dinners at premier restaurants and museums.
