Another marketing flywheel?! Heaven forbid. We're going full curlicure. Experiential marketing isn't as simple as a wheel turning down a road; it's a marketing form that uses each touchpoint as momentum to carry your consumer to the next phase of their journey. When you consider touchpoints, it's not one-and-done; you have to keep the pressure on to reach a loyal fan. And that means never letting a moment of choice pass without strategic consideration. From events to brand homes and then, finally, to lifetime loyalty VIP benefits and personalized experiences. Then, they pass the baton to their friends, family, and every follower they've accrued on social media. And the current sweeps the new future advocates away again towards loyalty. What other shape do you think experiential can take? #experiential #marketingmodel #StrategySession #MarketingMastery

As experiential marketing has quickly become the go-to way for brands to win the mindshare and loyalty of consumers, the practice continues to evolve just as quickly. Earlier this summer, we were joined by Benjamin David 🌊, Sales, Marketing & Customer Service Manager at The HEINEKEN Company and Patrick Lowe, Head of Partnerships at LALIGA to breakdown the top trends leaders need to know: 💡Back to basics – Consumers crave real, in-person experiences, leading teams to move away from digital engagement in favor of experiential programs 🔎 Personalization – It’s time to move away from one-size-fits all experiences, making understanding your audiences more important than ever. 💯 Keeping collaborations authentic – Many are partnering with other brands to amplify the impact of their experiential programs, but when doing so it’s essential to find a partner that aligns to your mission and values 💻 Using tech to enhance in-person experiences – Experiential leaders should look for ways to leverage technology to enhance in-person experiences, e.g. driving personalization at scale Thanks to our panelists for sharing their insights at our Executive Brand Experience Summit. Looking forward to seeing how these trends continue to evolve into next year. #brandexperience #experientialmarketing #experientialtrends #ARExecSummit

In May we had the pleasure of hosting our Executive Brand Experience Summit event at the home of one of the world’s most iconic brands: Campari Group. Not only was their team amazing and the venue perfect for this year's event, but Fabricio Marques and Marco Pagliuso took the stage to share real life examples of how Campari has become the successful global brand it is today. They shared their knowledge on building out an experience strategy for a global brand, highlighting the importance of brand flagships. Here are some of the key takeaways for their session: 🚩 Flagships are a long-term investment that can help anchor your strategy and act as an incubator for your brand 📍Location is critical (but you still need a great experience, too) 😀 Your people make the experience, hire and retain great talent 💸 Financials are important, but there's so much PR value to flagships and experiences in general that can't be overlooked Thank You to Fabricio, Marco, and the whole Campari team for making the event a success! #experientialmarketing #experientialstrategy #brandhomes #ARExecSummit

"Dear Global Brand, Experiential, & Marketing Leaders, I remember when I was in your shoes. Like you, I strove for consistency and standards in the tornado of global brand marketing, including experiential. Now that I have time to reflect on my 20 years working with brands in retail, D2C, and experiential marketing, I realise I don’t have many regrets. However. Near the end of my tenure, I learned three specific things that I wish I had known during my time with brands like Johnnie Walker, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and Carter’s Osh Kosh Babies and Kids. The three things I wish I knew about experiential marketing are...." Greg Klingaman wrote an open letter for all his fellow global marketing leaders with a few words of wisdom he wants to share.

Jonathan Yaffe spoke with Luis Monserrate Castillo, General Manager of Create, last week at South Summit in Madrid!

When it comes to the success of your experiential strategy, it can be challenging to figure out what to measure. That’s why we brought in experts Candice Mayer-Gillet, Managing Director, Westfield Rise for Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield and Judith Owens MBE, CEO of Titanic Belfast & TBL International Ltd. to share their perspective at our Executive Brand Experience Summit in Milan. As it turns out, there’s not a one-size-fits-all formula for experiential ROI (sorry!) but our panelists shared some great guidance for our attendees, including the importance of identifying metrics that align to your experiential goals. For example, if your goals are centered on: 📣 Awareness & Engagement, look at attendance, foot traffic & dwell time 💙 Loyalty, measure NPS and brand conversion 💰 Revenue, track post-event product sales & conversions We love to hear from the virtual crowd on this one – how do you measure the return on your strategy?
