Brand Activations that Drive Results (Half Day)

How to Create Brand Experiences That Will Excite Your Customers
(Half Day Workshop)

Brands are increasingly looking for ways to more effectively engage with our consumers beyond traditional channels to build profitable, long term brand loyalty. As a result, marketers are under ever more pressure to deliver “buzz”, sharable consumer experiences and sales through brand activations. This is no easy task given today’s distracted consumer. To succeed you need an integrated plan, agile process, and tools to get closer to your consumers and stand out in a crowded marketplace.

During this half day workshop, we will focus on some of the most essential and effective methods of bringing your brand to life and delighting your consumers. These include Promotions, Experiences, Events, Sponsorships and Cause Marketing*. You’ll learn the core principles of each discipline and best practices for implementing an activation plan in your business.

This workshop is interactive, with ample exercises that will allow you to build skills and practice new approaches for your brand. You will work with others on case studies and group exercises and each module is packed with insightful examples.
