Mark Stephen Agency partners with Essence in New Orleans annually. We created five immersive environments at the Essence Festival of Culture. Beautycon EFOC featured a vibrant beauty marketplace, The Soko Market highlighted small businesses, The Authors Experience hosted discussions and book signings, The Wellness House offered self-care workshops, The New Voices Hub fostered networking and entrepreneurial growth, and the Food & Wine experience offered live cooking demonstrations and tastings that celebrated culinary talent.
