- FENDI - Design Miami/2014: For Design Miami/ 2014, Bombshell Productions was selected to produce the Roman Lounge space for the partnership between FENDI and the Italian-based design firm Dimore Studio.

In addition, Bombshell Productions won seven Silver ADDY’s® for its work on the following:
- Ferrari California T Launch: The launch party for the newest of the Ferrari California T line was designed by Bombshell Productions and featured a red carpet adorned with Ferraris.

Once the doors of the performance hall opened, guests entered into a space transformed by Bombshell Productions.
- Peter Marino Architect - Design Miami/: Bombshell Productions was tapped to produce the 550-square-foot exhibit stand, designed by Marino, which celebrated his multiple roles within the world of design. The exterior of the space was clad in woven leather panels with silver buckle accents. Key interior features included an architectural maquette and image, antique and contemporary chairs from Marino’s own collection, his personally designed cast bronze boxes and an infinity mirror box, which reflected a life-sized mannequin of Peter Marino.
- The Future of Volkswagen: For Volkswagen’s State of the Company address, the client wished to continue the aesthetic of fluid lines, while whiting out parts of the stage and any unused portions of the blue seating within the venue. Bombshell Productions rebranded the space creating custom white seat covers, wrapping the horizontal and vertical lines of the stage with white carpet and creating custom curved walls and a branded, lighted totem as stage décor.
- Harry Winston Pop Up Salon: A pop up salon was created in the aesthetic and using the branding language of the Harry Winston salons worldwide. The design required a full transformation of the ballroom foyer at the Mandarin Oriental Miami. This not only included carpet, wall coverings and furniture, but custom branded accents and wall graphics.
