Pittsburgh’s chocolatiers stood over their delectable displays as a conductor would his orchestra, readying themselves for the chocolate cacophony that was awaiting the sold out crowd at the Benedum. Facilitated by Acrobatique Creative, The Chocolate Bar was a night of endless enchantment.
As creatives, we have a naturally profound respect for mother earth and all her offerings. So when Earth Day rolled around last year Acrobatique Creative geared up to honor our planet in ways that only we can. Entering into the 46th year of the Earth Day movement which continues to ignite activism for preserving our planet, Acrobatique Creative aided in showcasing to the world how much Pittsburgh has transcended itself from a Steel Town.
Having lived through the Heaven era together, I knew I could trust Ronda and her team to recreate the energy and level of sophistication that was so essential to the "Heaven" brand.
