Bernie Sanders x MAX
Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drew 26,000 people to Queensbridge Park on October 19, 2019 - the rally where AOC endorsed his 2020 campaign. MAX performed, with Michael Moore and San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz speaking.

The situation
Sanders was returning to the trail after a heart attack, and the campaign needed a restart that read as strength rather than recovery.
The task
Build the biggest rally of the primary and stage the AOC endorsement inside it.
What we did
Produced Queensbridge Park end to end, booked MAX, and set the run-of-show around the endorsement moment.
The results
26,000 people in Queens, the endorsement delivered on stage, and the largest single crowd of the 2020 primary field to that point.
