Great Partners, Great Success

adults agreement beverage 567633When imagining, designing, and producing an experiential marketing program, there are a lot of resources that come to mind, internal and external. We’ve been in the experiential marketing business for over 20 years, but we wouldn’t be here without some great partners. What kind of partners do you need to pull off a successful program?

Graphic designer

If you don’t have a graphic designer in house, this is something you will need to source or contract out.

Vehicle Branding

3A great mobile marketing program starts with a great vehicle. Once your team has selected a type of vehicle and have a vision for the design, pass the baton to your awesome graphics company to wrap the vehicle in the program brand. If you don’t have a vehicle already purchased, this will be something you need to source or rent for the duration of the program, especially if it’s a cool buildout. Get creative! This vehicle can draw so many more impressions on the road when it’s a unique idea versus just a logo or name.

Displays and Signs

Photographer

Premiums

Every experiential marketing program needs to have memorable premiums and giveaways. You need a partner that can help you source mass quantities of those particular items, or even produce them if it’s something unique. Typically, you’ll want those premiums branded so the consumer will walk away remembering the awesome activation they experienced and thinking back to it every time they use your premium. And you do want them to be useful (like these portable chargers we passed out with Energizer)!

Technology partners
