Grindr x Madonna Times Sq Pop-up

Client: Freddie  ·  Role: Production

Production Planning

Goal 1

Coordinate production for Grindr's Times Square activation celebrating Madonna while delivering multiple social assets inside a tightly scheduled live event.

Approach

  • Worked directly with talent, creative director, and production team day-of shoot to align on deliverables, creative direction, and posting requirements.
  • Planned interview prompts, music selections, and production flow before filming began to maximize a limited production window.
  • Coordinated closely with the videographer throughout production to adapt creative in real time, capture sufficient coverage, and keep filming moving efficiently.

Live Production

Goal 2

With only fifteen minutes surrounding Madonna's surprise appearance on the Grindr bus, every shot needed to be captured in sequence while balancing talent, crowd movement, and brand visibility.

Approach

  • Sequenced priorities on shot list covering every required deliverable before filming began.
  • Structured production around the activation timeline to capture key brand moments and supporting footage before the reveal concluded.
  • Managed logistics, including waivers, consent forms, and post-production notes for the editing team.

Result

Delivered multiple social-first videos across Freddie and talent channels while supporting production for one of Grindr's largest live brand activations.
