EXPERIENTIAL ACTIVATIONS:
Consumer Engagements, Engineered Events, Brand Activations
FEATURING: Next / Now, V Squared Labs, Big Freeze Worldwide


From large-scale exterior and interior 3D Architectural Projections for public events, to virtual pop-up stores that are triggered by a user's smart phone geo-location app, we can connect you to the experts who have pioneered this virtual landscape. Sometimes an engineered event can be launched in a short amount of time, and others require more orchestrated early-on strategy development and planning. And the best time to bring in our Experiential partners is when you form your Experience Group.

We help spark conversations with CMOs, Brand Managers, PR Firms, Agency Creatives and Producers, Event Planners, Sports Venues, Sports Franchises, Entertainment Partners, Media Strategists and Planners. We'll outline the creative possibilities that emerging tech can offer your Group. Our Experiential Partners make bigger than life Engagements that get shared and get results.

We are continually building new Experiential relationships and repertoire with brand partners so we can provide expert advice on producing turn-key events, or stand alone production activations. We'll help you transform your concept from idea into 4D reality. 

Call 312-498-5656 or email us now for some brainstorming.
