The challenge
Forbes Brasil aimed to celebrate the 7th edition of its "Person of the Year" award with an after party worthy of its guests: CEOs, investors and opinion leaders who operate between Brazil and the United States. The challenge was to create a sophisticated, exclusive experience in New York, immediately following the official ceremony at the American Museum of Natural History, meeting the high standards of the audience within a very short production timeline.
The solution
Cuco Agency, newly established in the United States, took on the production of the project. In partnership with Forbes Brasil, we created a nighttime experience at Cipriani 25 Broadway, a classic venue in the city, well suited to welcome leading names from the Brazilian and American markets.
Cuco was responsible for the creative concept, scenography, local production, team hiring, DJs, premium bar and all brand activations. We also developed the RSVP, reception and guest experience strategies, with close attention to networking and connection among guests.
Experience highlights:
- Music by internationally recognized Brazilian DJs
- A signature bar with a custom cocktail menu
- Light, elegant scenography that respected the venue's architecture
- A highly curated guest list, with selected guests and VIP treatment
- Cuco's team working directly from New York, with a 100% local operation
The impact
Cuco produced the Forbes Brasil party in New York in 2025 and produced it again in 2026.
