The Challenge: Three Events, One Universe
Netflix needed narrative-driven, in-character brand ambassadors who could handle:
- VIP hospitality in a high-pressure red carpet environment

- Live event logistics with zero margin for error
- Real-time staff redeployment between sites to maintain experience quality
Any break in theme or delay in flow would jeopardize immersion and guest satisfaction.
