When the subprime mortgage crisis of 2007 and resultant financial woes sent the country hurtling into recession, Boxman Studios CEO David Campbell, a real estate developer, had to quickly construct a new career for himself. He was awed by images of homes created out of shipping containers that he saw online—and recognized the enormous potential of the idea. He mulled a business creating temporary jails and dorm rooms out of the metal boxes, but with the growing popularity of pop-up shops and experiential marketing, he ultimately decided to take the concept in a different direction.
