Brand activations people stop for, hold, and take home

A live moment, at an event, where people interact with a brand instead of just seeing its logo. A good one gives guests something they choose to take part in and leaves the brand with something it can count afterwards.

Experiential marketing is the strategy of reaching people through experiences. A brand activation is one of those experiences, run at a specific event on a specific day.

We report what can be counted: keepsakes made, the opt-in list with consent, how much of the crowd took part, and how many digital copies were sent and shared. You also get the full gallery for your own channels.

As soon as the event date is fixed. A proposal usually comes back the same day, a flat $100 deposit holds the date, artwork is proofed about two weeks out and the balance is due 14 days before. Book as early as you can — some 2027 weekends are already fully booked.

Ours start from published figures: Draw Bots from $1,000, a keychain or magnet station $400 for up to 100 guests, both together $700, a Magazine cover booth from $1,000 for the day, and a custom-printed 8×8 backdrop you keep for $200. Multi-day or multi-station activations are quoted from the days, hours and number of stations.

Twenty to sixty an hour per bot, with up to three running side by side and a QR selfie queue for the rush. At the River Lions home opener that added up to 400 fans drawn in one night.

Keepsakes made, participation rate, digital copies sent and shared, the full gallery, and the opt-in list as a CSV.

Yes. Data capture is priority one at trade shows and activations, so the consent wording is agreed before the event and names who receives the list — the sponsor included.

Yes. We can work through an agency as the station inside its plan, and we are fully insured, with a certificate naming the venue, the organizer or the agency on request.

Yes. Co-branded sheets and prints carry the event's mark and the sponsor's together. Send both sets of artwork about two weeks ahead so the layout can be proofed by everyone who needs to approve it.

Yes, with power and a covered spot. Tell us the site, whether that is a beer garden, a concourse or a festival tent, and we will say exactly what the station needs.

Yes. Every booking carries commercial general liability insurance, and the certificate can name the venue, the event organizer or your company as additionally insured, on request.

Activations are quoted from the objective, the days and hours, the number of stations and the branding work. The deposit is a flat $100, the balance is due 14 days before, and travel is included.
