• Exhibit build and fabrication
• Installation and dismantle
• Storage and warehousing
• Signage and graphics

Over the years, we have grown from an entrepreneurial start-up to a well-respected organization and we attribute our success to our ability to successfully transition and adapt our methods to the ever changing event & design trends. We started out designing small pieces of signage for the Merchandise Mart where we are now considered a preferred vendor. We began by building a name for ourselves in our hometown of Chicago and now build and design booths for clients overseas. These achievements have given us the knowledge and versatility to work with any size manufacturer or distributor. Our work begins with conceptual design and continues through fabrication and exhibit management, offering a solution for all of your creative needs. We have earned the respect of an array of clients including Revlon Professional, Essie, Evian Water, Thousand Trails, Sexy Hair, Royal Cup Coffee, Mizani and Modern Salon, to name a few. As an award-winning company, our team is proud of the strong presence we have built in the trade show industry. In addition the United Services, we also service Canada, Cosmoprof Bologna and Asia. We are fortunate to have relationships with builders and show management teams in various countries throughout Europe, as well as with our contacts within the Cosmoprof Bologna and Las Vegas groups.

We've touched down at destination Bioderma 🧪

Our next stop takes us to the Bioderma booth where science & skincare go hand in hand. This clean, clinical, and immersive laboratory inspired environment reflected Bioderma's skin-first philosophy while being a standout destination on the Ulta Beauty World show floor

We set out to elevate their brand presence while staying true to their brand DNA. Serving as the booth’s focal point, two oversized product display shelving units were designed to reflect the shape of their iconic products, and made with future event flexibility in mind 🔍️

Between the immersive brand experience and cute gratis giveaways, it's safe to say this destination earned its stamp in our passport

Now arriving at destination: Beekman 1802 🐐

Our next stop is at the Beekman 1802 booth where the space felt as vibrant and welcoming as the brand itself. Though faced with unexpected challenges from the infamous Ulta Beauty World fire, the Beekman team pushed forward - proving that a little kindness can go a long way ☺️

This bright yellow island invited attendees to explore and connect with their full product line. One of the show floor's most talked about items were these mini Goatie keychains displayed on a custom yellow pegboard wall! These cute collectable keychains quickly became a must-have souvenir of the show.

Gate change announcement: Flight #1833 will now depart from gate Luna Bronze ✈️

Straight from Australia to the Ulta Beauty World show floor, we were so pleased to bring Luna Bronze's vision to life for their first year at the show! 🇦🇺

We leaned into the 'Lunaverse' shifting away from beach/sun tropes to celebrate a glow achieved under the moon. Using reflective dome mirrors and organic shaped shelving, we created an immersive, otherworldly atmosphere showcasing the full product range in a way that felt natural and refined. And of course, the standout moment was the interactive, glowing, purple 'moon pool' that invited guest to engage and win prizes!

Now boarding all passengers for Flight #1129 to About-Face 🧳

We partnered with the About-Face team to bring their exclusive backstage moment to life. We channeled music festival energy - without the chaos - by replacing traditional gratis giveaways with timed product drops.

We built a clean, high impact space using a 4 screen TV grid wall to showcase the drop countdown and visuals to create anticipation and focus. Safe to say, this is a moment you want to be front row for.

Now boarding: Destination AMIKA - Booth #1931. We had a blast partnering with the team during their first apperance at Ulta Beauty World! They went all out bringing hanging signs, demo stations, arcade games, and a photobooth! The space being finished in their iconic pink & orange palette made it impossible to miss.

While they're not the largest space on the show floor... 10x10 booths pack a big punch! ⭐

You can take advantage of the intimate environment to meet personally with attendees and educate them on your product to build connections! They are the sweet spot to balancing brand presence and cost effectiveness.

Client budgets can range from 10k-100k for the entire booth! We know how to work with what you have and disperse your budget productively. We also provide price tiers of quality items for you to buy or rent depending on your brand’s long-term needs. With 30+ years of practice, we can help you have an efficient and fun experience! 💋

Lasting impact isn’t measured by square feet or the size of your budget, it’s made using strategy, design, and connection

Last year we designed, fabricated, and managed 22 booths for the ULTA Beauty World show in San Antonio, TX! 💅

We have worked with a multitude of beauty and health & wellness brands attending ULTA Beauty World, and we’ve seen a thing or two. The key to getting attendees to stop, learn, and share your product, is having an efficient traffic flow and presenting an inviting space. Making it cute really helps too 😉

Katherine Frank Creative's 30+ years of experience can elevate your booth and ensure your brand meets its goals. We love working with established and emerging brands; see our Orabella booth shown in BizBash’s article discussing last year's show: https://www.bizbash.com/experiential-marketing/step-inside-the-first-ever-brand-packed-ulta-beauty-world-event
