Transforming DC’s Historic Southwest Waterfront

The Wharf is Washington D.C.’s most exciting neighborhood and a top destination for visitors and locals alike. The mile-long, mixed retail and residential complex re-establishes Washington, DC, as a true waterfront city and destination. This fall, The Wharf is set to deliver the second half of the total 3.5 million square feet of world-class residences, offices, hotels, shops, restaurants, cultural uses, marinas and public space.Phase one of The Wharf was completed in October 2017.

The Wharf

The Challenge

The Brand Guild was hired pre-delivery to strategize and execute a comprehensive plan to build positive momentum and brand awareness for The Wharf as a waterfront neighborhood, balanced communityand world-class destination a year in advance of and following the grand opening of phase one in Fall 2017.

Highlights

  • TBG created a robust events calendar for both pre-opening and launch, that showcased the unique waterfront experience as well as developmental milestones. We organized events including Shark Bites and Brews, enhancing the landside experience for the DC Holiday Boat Parade and organizing a truck touch for the Phase 2 groundbreaking.
  • Post-opening, we highlighted new offerings at The Wharf, including  the area’s only ice rink on the water with Curling & Cocktails, a tktktk event (someone needs to fill this in).
  • TBG has secured broadcast, online and print placements in national, regional and local outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal Mansion, USA Today, Condé Nast Traveler, The Washington Post, Essence Magazine, Eater, Food & Wine, Reader's Digest and more.
  • The grand opening media coverage alone garnered more than 1.3 billion media impressions as well as 65 onsite media press tours and more than 50 spokesperson interviews in addition

Our Solution

The TBG team worked as a trusted partner with The Wharf and concepted pre-opening and grand opening events that would attract a broad audience to Southwest DC a year and a half ahead of delivering the first phase of development, while generating both lifestyle and business news coverage in regional and national outlets.
