The average person sees over 6,000 advertisements per day. With this constant bombardment, it’s become more difficult than ever to cut through the clutter. Unlike traditional ads, in-person experiences are a two-way interaction that humanizes the brand and creates a more authentic experience.

In the age of social media, people are constantly looking to share their world with others. By tying your brand to a unique experience, consumers will feel inclined to share the interaction via social media, broadening its reach far beyond the activation itself. And if the activation is unique enough, this user generated content even has the potential to go viral. 

 

Most importantly, in-person experiences have the power to deepen the connection between a brand and its target audience, making consumers more likely to engage with the brand in the future.
