  • 238 events during a pandemic and look what happened

    Pull the parking brake, it’s a global pandemic.  Cancel events, outlaw large gatherings, and figure out how to market your goods and services in other ways.  How do brands with products that center around hands-on use engage with customers?  How do we continue to create experiences that stimulate the senses and create positive memories in unknown parameters?  We adjust, we prepare. we pop the brake, and we charge on.

    LOOK Marketing, event production, experiential, pandemic marketingPop the Brake on Events

    The parking brake was certainly pulled tight on any and all events and ‘back-up’ tactics where quickly put into play. Virtually everything virtual was ramped at warp speed and that helped fill the void…kinda.  ‘Virtual’ was the next best thing to an actual ‘event,’ and as good as technology is in replicating an experience it can not nor ever will truly replace a real, in-person experience.  The tickling of the senses causing infusion of emotions and that is what makes ‘being there’ so special. Being there is tangible, sensational, and memorable. There is no replacing a live event.

    Events generate the timeline of your life.  Events create the most vivid and lasting memories. Birthday’s, weddings, vacations, first car, concerts, games, experiences.  Our client’s products greatest attribute is providing a memorable experience. A virtual experience simply isn’t enough to move you physically or emotionally, or even remember. With more knowledge and some fresh science our clients and LOOK popped the parking brake and activated Sport Mode on our event planning and production. Committed to curating real memories. Together we committed to offering brand promise delivering, experience events. With experiential event marketing being one of LOOK Marketing’s core services and passions we worked diligently with our spirited and driven, and incredibly safety conscious clients to create safe experiences.

    A Clean Plan

    LOOK Marketing, event production, experiential, pandemic marketingThe strategy was to be very grass roots; small, limited numbers, intimate, at a distance, and be super clean. Clean in every way. A reservation system was implemented with time in-between guest visits to sanitize EVERYTHING. Our staff was diligent about wearing branded n95 masks, gloves, and we had sanitizer kiosks everywhere you looked in the footprints. And everything was outdoors.

    The events focussed on quality personal engagement. Start with personal concierge service preparing the guest for the experience prior to arrival via personal phone, text and e-mails. Customize the experience on-site to fit the guests’ expectations. Give them a well-designed, immersive experience on the product just long enough to fall involve with it. Follow the trial with answering every questions guests have and knocking down every purchase barrier that pops up.  We activated a dozen teams with tight, nimble event packages with a plan designed to maximize the experience while respecting and implementing every reasonable tactic to minimize contraction. Our 26 specialists (our Spark Plugs) on 12 different teams were ultra diligent at minimizing transmission risks.

    What Really Happened

    LOOK Marketing, event production, experiential, pandemic marketing, eventsThis event strategy worked. LOOK at the results. Our 52 on-water event activations saw a guest-to-sales conversion rate higher than any other comparable tour for the brand of the past 20 years. Our 186 on-road event activations saw total participation numbers fall short of the pre-tour goals. That’s okay. We crushed the most important KPI, sales.  The personable approach of our ultra engaging specialists and get-a-way designed on-product experiences led to direct sales of 43% ABOVE target.

    As of this writing we are packing up to produce our final consumer event of the year at Biketoberfest in Daytona. After this weekend our 2021 experiential event production total will top 238.  Thousands of experiences curated with out one known contraction.  Crisis brings out the best in creative thinking and creates opportunity for those courageous enough and prepared to charge on.

    Support events. Go to events. Do events. LOOK what can happen. . . a new memory. And remember, wash you hands.

  • BEST EVENT – SO MUCH MORE THAN DONUTS

    .You only get one chance to launch a New product

    If you tell buyers your product is good, what can you do to prove it? Produce an immersive experience. Prove to them your promises are real and better yet, let them discover it for themselves.  LOOK Marketing, a Space Coast creative idea and strategic marketing agency, recently won awards for Best B2B activation and Best Event for our Sea-Doo ‘More Than Donuts Experience.’

    The other key opportunity a new product launch provides is launching the go-to-market creative campaign in a manner that’s remarkable. For 2020 our professional friends at Sea-Doo launched a new family oriented watercraft with the creative campaign focussing on donuts as the key visual. We took the donut creative theme and built the experience around that. The event guests would not only see the campaign but live it, smell it, taste it, and feel it.

    Proving it’s So Much More Than Donuts

    Experience Station #2 – Grand Touring

    The 2020 line of Sea-Doo watercraft was launched at Club BRP, the recreation product giant’s global dealer meeting taking place in Las Vegas. LOOK is the outdoor event marketing agency for the global leading Sea-Doo brand. We were tasked to produce the test ride experience where over 2400 dealers from around the world converge to see the new model year products. Here they would test ride the Sea-Doo to see if the product lived up to the promises and then place their wholesale order that accounts for $1billion in revenue for BRP. The Test Ride experience was key to the success of the new Sea-Doo GTI model launch with he dealer network. We had to prove this new watercraft expanded the on-board experience. We had to prove it was so much more than donuts. 

    Here’s our highlight video of the Sea-Doo ‘More Than Donuts’ Experience. This is our double award winning project.

    Dealers were treated to a fresh ‘Doo-Nut.’

    We served nearly 900 pink frosted donuts to dealers from the famous Las Vegas Pink Box Donuts at our pop-up ‘Doo-Nut’ truck. The Doo-Nut stop also served as a social activation for dealers to share on their social pages. Followed by four experience stations that dealer guests participated in to gain strategic insights and first hand, or first butt, experience on the new watercraft. And all station were strategically designed for maximum efficiency to safely process the large number of guests, while offering a fun an immersive experience.  An epic location like Lake Las Vegas with great weather also greatly contributed to the success of producing a Best Event.

    Neptune Award and Addy Gold for BEST B2B and Best Event

    At the 2020 Miami International Boat Show LOOK Marketing won two Neptune Awards. One for BEST B2B for the Sea-Doo ‘More Than Donuts’ Experience. The Neptune Awards are presented by the Marine Marketers of America organization to celebrate the best marketing campaigns and activations in the Marine Industry. These are LOOK Marketing’s fifth and sixth Neptune Awards, and includes wins in five different marketing categories. The ‘More Than Donuts’ Experience also won a Gold Addy from the American Advertising Federation (the AAF) Space Coast of Florida Chapter for Best Event.

    Creating a Sharable Experience

    Great Experiences are those that connect all the dots and tap into emotions. And it’s said the way to your heart is through your stomach. Delicious donuts help. And showing the new Sea-Doo GTI watercraft is so much more than donuts contributed to record orders.

    Help your brand connect with your audience in a deeper, more emotional level. Give them an experience they’ll feel, remember and share. Share your brand’s experience. If you need help. #lookatus
