OpenRoad brought the world’s most venerable brand to life with a lavish launch event, winning the coveted Inspiring Greatness Award for outstanding and engaging efforts that embody the attitude of Rolls-Royce. “We wanted to create a truly inspirational event for Vancouver, Canada and the entire Americas,” commented OpenRoad CEO Christian Chia. “Cullinan was our muse, an unparalleled catalyst to inspire greatness through creativity and results,” he said. The event reflected two facets of Cullinan, offering a Diamond Room and an Adventure Room. The world had never before seen a vehicle showcased on an Onyx LED Floor imported from Brazil. The celebration also included a custom Rolls-Royce infinity mirror room of 88 candles endlessly illuminating a Spirit of Ecstasy living sculpture. Snow fell from the gobo-inspired sky while a 3D deer looked on from a cinematic mountain range inside the forested Adventure Room. All the while, guests sipped a flaming pine-infused mezcal while dining on lobster claw charcoal sliders, A5 wagyu sushi and salmon lollipops with silver leaf cotton candy. “It’s an honour to be singled out for the way we do business,” said Christian Chia, Principal of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Vancouver. “Our goal is not to be the biggest, rather, we strive to share the beauty and inspiration of the Rolls-Royce brand with every one of our clients and potential clients.” He added, “We had the distinct honor of introducing the new Cullinan to all of the Americas during the opening of our magnificent new showroom. It was a perfect intersection of events for the brand.” »
