The idea
Anua grew mostly online, through social media, Amazon and Ulta Beauty. Its two-day SoHo pop-up in June 2026, produced by CNC Agency, gave those customers a physical place to meet the brand, while launching a new mist and introducing Kendall Jenner as its first global ambassador.

Guest journey
The idea was a European hotel stay. Guests were greeted by staff dressed as bellhops, handed an illustrated map, and collected stamps as they explored. Stamps could be traded for custom drinks and giveaways. Stations included a drink cafe, a fountain, mist demonstrations, a photo booth styled as a hotel elevator, and a gift shop with a claw machine at the exit.
What worked
the hotel metaphor gave guests a story, a route and a reason to visit every station without signs telling them to. The hydration test, taken before and after trying the product, turned a claim into something guests could see on their own skin. Street postings before the event gave the pop-up a reason to be shared before the doors opened.
What we'd borrow
a simple map and stamp system is a cheap way to guide flow and keep guests longer.
What we can’t tell
the agency says every KPI was met but publishes no numbers.
