Cloth & Flame

Brand Partnership Deck

 

 

Exposition

Immersive events, remarkable places. Cloth & Flame transforms open landscapes into unforgettable dining experiences where nature and community converge.

More than an event company, they orchestrate moments of connection—where a shared meal becomes a story, and a fleeting place becomes timeless. “Create connection everywhere” is one of their brand mantras for good reason.

Founded in 2016, the company originally emerged from a hot air balloon business that included luxury dining experiences during balloon rides. Today, they specialize in creating immersive gatherings in extraordinary locations, redefining how people come together.

 

Through design, Zach Bates, along with Alex Leiphart, helped Cloth & Flame craft a compelling brand partnership deck template, showcasing their unique event experiences and service offerings. The deck captured the essence of their immersive gatherings—where breathtaking landscapes become venues and shared meals turn into unforgettable stories. By blending strategic storytelling with thoughtful design (whilst scouring through over 6,560 photos from their events), we provided Cloth & Flame with a powerful tool to forge meaningful partnerships and expand their reach.
