A scrapbook of different images, from a boat in the sea to a woman surfboarding. Message: Experiential Marketing Entering A New Era

“Brands need to think about…how they are getting people to do things together, talk to each other, connect with each other.” 👥

I agree with Sofia Hernandez, global head of business marketing and commercial partnerships at TikTok, that we need to use technology to bring people together and create connection—but not be the star of the show.

ADWEEK talked to industry leaders at C2 Montréal about where they think experiential marketing is heading, and they had a lot to say.

📍 Tailor experiences based on the event location.
🎯 The space is about function, not just aesthetics!
😊 Connect with attendees on a deeper level, so they can create an emotional connection with your brand!
✨ Leave attendees with a feeling about your brand, so they remember the experience.
📲 Use tech to bring people together, not be the star of the show!

Focus on designing your experiences to be immersive and personal, so attendees can form meaningful connections with each other and your brand while making memories they’ll cherish (and share) for years to come.

Where do you think experiential marketing is heading? ✨

I love to write. While most kids were playing with blocks or dolls, I was publishing magazines and newspapers – feature articles, ads, sports box scores, the whole nine yards. From promotions director to advertising roles to branding projects, I’ve always been interested in all forms of marketing. That interest blossomed into a career path, leading me to open my own business, which has always been a dream of mine. And I’d love to work my magic for you.
