Brand activation: From idea to experience.
Imagine this: you walk down a shopping street, and suddenly there’s a pop-up where the scent, colors, and sounds transport you into a new world. Or you scroll through Instagram and come across an interactive campaign that leaves you smiling. That’s brand activation in action – and it’s exactly where we at XIS excel.
In this blog, we’ll explain how we at XIS transform an idea into an experience that not only stands out but also sticks with you. Curious? Read on!
Brand activation? Oh, that’s...
...that moment when a brand not only reaches you but truly connects with you. It’s about more than just a message; it’s an experience. Your favorite brand suddenly becomes tangible, touchable, and even a part of your story.
We call brand activation the art of the “wow-effect.” It’s that unforgettable experience. Whether it's a fun stunt, an online interaction, or a live event – if your audience walks away with a lasting impression, we’ve done our job right.
How do we do that? XIS’ path from idea to experience
It may sound like magic, but there’s a well-thought-out process behind it. Here’s how we turn a vague idea into an unforgettable experience:
Discover: Dive into the brand DNA
A successful brand activation starts with diving into the heart and soul of your brand. What do you stand for? What’s your unique story? And, most importantly, how do you want your audience to feel after interacting with your brand?
At XIS, we call this our “brand immersion.” We listen, ask questions, and together we uncover the essence of your brand. Because when we truly understand the brand, we can bring it to life.
Create: The ideas take the leap
This is where the creative fire ignites. Our team of strategists and creatives brainstorm until that energy fills the room. No limits, no filters – from crazy guerrilla actions to immersive digital campaigns: this is where the magic happens.
A good idea needs to provoke, surprise, and... be executable. That’s why we always keep one eye on reality while dreaming about how we can make your audience say, “Wow!”
Build: Bringing the concept to life
One moment we’re drawing on a whiteboard with markers, and the next we’re holding hammers at an event venue or working with digital tools. This is where the idea takes on a physical (or virtual) form.
We take care of everything:
Design: Everything must perfectly align with your brand identity.
Details: From logistics to the right music, scent, or influencers.
Flow: Ensuring your audience effortlessly flows through the experience.
Launch: Showtime!
And then it’s time: the moment of truth. The activation goes live, and your audience experiences your brand in a way they didn’t expect. Our team is on-site to ensure everything runs smoothly, and maybe we’ll sneak a peek at the reactions – that’s definitely the most fun part!
Measure and Learn: What did we achieve?
The smiles on your audience’s faces are already a good sign, but we love data. How many people did we reach? How strong was the impact? Using tools and analytics, we measure this so we can continue to grow and perfect our approach.
Why work with XIS?
