What is Event Marketing?
We live and breathe events, it’s what we do. Experiential or activation, you name it, we can help create it, turning ideas into reality and building experiences you’ve only ever dreamed of.
We’re passionate, innovative, and not afraid of a challenge. This is why we adore our job.

Keep up with customer demand
Consumer demand is growing bigger and bigger and it shows no sign of stopping. People want more from a brand than just being told how good it is, they want to interact.
Supermarkets sell more of a product when customers get to taste it. This is a brand experience or product activation in a simple form, and customers want more of it. This simple idea can be ramped up and produced on a bigger scale to reach more people and result in more sales. Building exciting, immersive experiences in which consumers start to really feel something different about that brand is what we’re passionate about, it’s what we’re good at, and it’s what your customer wants. Everyone wins.
Great for advertising businesses without physical items to sell
Some businesses don’t have physical products or items to sell, which often makes marketing difficult. Experiential marketing can be a great solution as events and real-life experiences are better at engaging the human brain to build memories.
And experiential marketing is all about creating memories. People connect much more when they are able to link a time in their life that they engaged with that brand. We help to build these interactions, helping you to build a fanbase. And with our (many) years of experience, no job is too weird, wacky or wonderful! In fact, we look forward to seeing the best and craziest ideas you’ve got.
