If a traditional creative agency’s Creative Director comes up with an incredible idea of a new TV ad, poster or digital campaign he or she has technology to ensure the idea is deliverable. However, in experiential marketing, everything changes. You may still need the technology but everything you physically build has to stand-up, literally. What might look amazing on the screen could be impossible to physically deliver.

At a recent conference consultation with a client, a millennial made me think that I wasn’t keeping up with the times. We were discussing their marketing and communication strategies for their event. I voiced my strong opinion that conference organizers should embrace inbound marketing (pull) over traditional outbound marketing (push). I explained that a blog platform is worth considering as the home base or hub for the inbound strategy.

When we enable people to meaningfully connect at a meeting, something extraordinary happens. We transform a conference from an impersonal forum for information exchange to a place where people feel they matter: their views, their experience, their ability to contribute become seen. Such a transformation is the essential work needed to build human community around the event, which becomes something special, standing out like a beacon from the humdrum conferences routinely inflicted on attendees.

Over half of those have been conferences (or smaller content led events like seminars and workshops) but I don’t often talk about my role as a speaker.

Adrian’s iPod My ancient iPod now has only one job: storing my music library of 765 tracks. Some of these performances bring me to tears when I listen to them. Many are bound to experiences in my life, and hearing them connects me to those powerful memories in a way that no other sense — save perhaps smell — can equal. You probably have this kind of relationship with music.

Event budgets are constantly getting squeezed. This means that event planners are under constant pressure to deliver exceptional results but on shoestring budgets. Printing, in particular, can take a huge bite out of the event budget, as well as use up lots of valuable time and resources.
