Atlanta Hawks x Xbox, State Farm Arena, Atlanta
When the Atlanta Hawks partnered with Xbox for a major fan activation at State Farm Arena, they turned to Sky Elements to take the experience to the next level. Sky Elements produced a custom drone show that brought the Hawks brand and Xbox's gaming identity together in the Atlanta sky, delivering a one-of-a-kind moment for fans that extended well beyond the arena walls. It was a powerful demonstration of how a co-branded drone show can amplify two iconic names in a single unforgettable activation.
Dave's Hot Chicken Grand Opening, Conyers, Georgia
When Atlanta R&B icon Usher opened the first Georgia location of Dave's Hot Chicken in Conyers, he made sure the city knew about it in a big way. Sky Elements designed a custom show with the Dave's Hot Chicken team, sending 800 drones above the brand-new Conyers location for an 11-minute performance that told a captivating story themed around the event. The show featured the franchise's rubber chicken mascot crashing to Earth in a UFO, paid homage to Usher with drone formations modeled after the artist, and finished with a special welcome message for the Conyers community. The drones stopped traffic and residents viewed the show for miles around, proving that a Sky Elements drone show is one of the most powerful grand opening tools in the country.
