Finding the perfect location for your brand activation
Planning brand activations involves selecting the optimal location that will help you effectively engage consumers with your brand's message. To maximise the impact of your brand activation, it’s important to target locations with high visibility and significant foot traffic. This could involve a strategy of choosing popular shopping malls, bustling city centres, or well-attended event venues. By identifying a location where your target audience naturally gathers, you can curate a more impactful and lasting experience for your audience.
Starbox: our flexible and adaptable solution
Starbox is our innovative solution designed specifically for temporary and semi-permanent infrastructure projects, offering unparalleled flexibility and functionality. When it comes to managing multiple experiential marketing activations or road shows, the benefits of using Starbox is clear. It can be easily flat-packed or fully assembled before being transported to its activation location, not only saving time, but creating a more sustainable way of construction. By being flat-packed it means that we can transport multiple Starbox units at one time, minimising trips and fuel emissions, to ensure we are doing our part for a greener future. Starbox can be shipped domestically or internationally, making it the ideal choice for brands looking to execute activations in various locations around the world. The flexibility of the Starbox has been crucial in our construction efforts towards projects like the Ryder Club project. It allowed us to create a dynamic and innovative hospitality structure and fanzone that perfectly complements the event.
The challenges associated with brand activations
Brands choosing a location for their experiential marketing activation may face a variety of challenges that require careful consideration. These challenges include restrictions related to noise levels, limitations on traffic and parking, and dealing with uneven or unlevel ground. They may need to navigate high-footfall locations, which can require overnight build times, and if the chosen location holds historical or national significance (for example, if it's near landmarks such as Windsor Castle, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, Somerset House etc), there could be specific restrictions and security considerations that need to be carefully factored in. All important for a successful and compliant experiential marketing campaign.
