Our team has put together 51 standout booth designs that have helped brands shine and connect with their audiences in fresh, innovative ways.

Out of these 51 booth designs, 17 were for new clients who came to GTC looking for something exciting. Their trust in us speaks volumes about our growing reputation for cutting-edge creativity and unforgettable brand experiences.

Client Partnerships

We’ve had the pleasure of teaming up with 44 powerhouse clients, each bringing their unique vision and energy to the table.

Our branded merch has also been a hit, perfectly capturing the essence of each client’s brand. Our creative team has worked relentlessly, pouring passion and precision into every detail to ensure each project meets and crushes expectations. Whether it’s a sleek, modern booth or an influencer kit that tells a brand story, we’re all about delivering excellence.
