2. How Guinness and R/GA Made a VR Tasting Experience for All Five Senses

Guinness has always been a company to take creative risks with its marketing and has recently created a masterful, innovative marketing event.

1. Kia Makes Big Push Into Experiential to ‘Fight’ for People’s Consideration

When Kia created a two-story slide for the product launch of the Kia Soul vehicle model, they not only created a lot of smiles but also fortified their reputation as being a fun, youthful brand during the ten-day event. With a red slide for adults, perhaps the ‘most fun auto manufacturer on the planet’ would be a better brand descriptor.

From global industry conferences to tasting tables in the grocery store, event marketing can do more to make brands come alive than words or pictures can do alone. Authentic, engaging, motivating, event marketing enables a brand to provide more than just services or products, but experiences to their audiences. These experiences make the brand-consumer relationship all the more worthwhile.
