Transforming a city block with surgical precision.
Stryker needed to make an impact, big time.

Thousands of orthopedic surgeons were descending upon San Diego for a conference. Stryker’s top competitor was hosting a showcase event the day before. We built an immersive experience that outshone the competition, spanned a city block and introduced Stryker’s new robotic surgery system to a packed house.

the story we made

Interaction is everything.

Research taught us that surgeons’ inherent self-confidence makes them skeptical of technological assistance, so we let them experience the unparalleled precision of the Mako Total Knee Robotic-Arm Assisted Surgery System for themselves—and have fun doing it.

HOW WE BUILT IT
A truly massive event.

We fully transformed a city block—including six restaurants—in only 16 hours from start to finish.

THE RESULTS

1.5 HOURS

spent inside per guest

The Mako experience was so successful, Stryker tapped GMR to run the program for four years running.

2,000+

visitors, blowing away all projections

GMR’s guidance, vision and execution allowed us to create excitement about this technology and boldly proclaim our position in the orthopedics market.”
