Creating Personalized Luxury: Live Hot Foil Embossing at Bank of America's C-Suite Dinner in Orlando
Last month, we had the pleasure of joining Bank of America for their C-Suite Dinner at The Conrad Orlando — a beautiful evening designed to celebrate leadership and connection at the highest level.
Our team was honored to bring an extra layer of personalization to the experience with live hot foil embossing (watch the recap reel here: Instagram), transforming sleek leather wallets into custom keepsakes that guests could take home and treasure.
When it comes to corporate events and brand activations, I truly believe it’s the thoughtful, personal details that make an experience unforgettable. At this intimate gathering of executives, offering live customization allowed every guest to feel individually celebrated — a small touch that made a lasting impact.
Bringing the Art of Live Personalization to Life
As part of the evening’s curated offerings, each guest received a navy blue slim leather wallet featuring a custom hot foil embossing of their choosing.
Guests selected their initials, name, last name, or a short meaningful message through a simple QR code questionnaire available at the event.
Once their preferences were submitted, our artists brought each design to life with precision, using either serif block lettering or elegant calligraphy styles in silver or gold foil.
The gentle sound of heated foil presses, combined with the gleaming personalized results and guests' delighted reactions, created an atmosphere of excitement and elevated luxury. Small details like these leave the most lasting impressions.
Turning Ordinary Items into Meaningful Keepsakes
One of the most rewarding aspects of live personalization is witnessing the transformation firsthand.
A simple wallet becomes a bespoke item, tied forever to a meaningful evening.
An everyday object turns into a cherished memento.
Guests feel personally acknowledged, strengthening their connection to both the event and the brand hosting it.
These emotional moments are why brands like Bank of America choose live event artistry. Personalization offers a level of luxury, attention to detail, and emotional resonance that mass-produced gifts cannot replicate.
At A Handful of Letters, we believe every item we personalize tells a story — and it’s our honor to help brands create unforgettable ones.
Navigating Challenges with Calm and Professionalism
Even the most carefully planned events occasionally face unexpected hurdles, and this evening was no exception.
Due to unforeseen lightning and rain delays, our activation was relocated from an outdoor venue to an indoor setting at the last minute.
Thanks to seamless collaboration with the planning team and our flexible approach, the experience continued without interruption.
With two professional artists on-site, we managed incoming requests efficiently, maintaining a polished and timely personalization experience for all guests.
Following the event, we received this feedback from the hiring agency, Imprint Group:
“Thank you so much — it was truly such a pleasure having you onsite with us! We're incredibly appreciative to work with you and your team and are grateful to have you as a trusted partner.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we navigated lightning and rain delays, the temporary loss of our live document, and the ultimate shift from outdoor to indoor.
Your calm energy and professionalism throughout did not go unnoticed!
Looking forward to the next one!”
Delivering beautiful results is always our goal, but creating a smooth, reassuring guest experience is equally important.
