Use Case Details

  • Designing a Winning Marketing Campaign
    The best predictor of the future is the past. And when you can plan based on a well-organized set of data that benchmarks this history, you can create a campaign that will get it right more often from the start. You’re moving your marketing downriver faster because you can use benchmarks to identify the venues that have your consumer target and strike a stronger balance between “event size” and “event frequency”.
  • Selling Your Experiential Campaign to Stakeholders
    We’re all always selling. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Brand Manager talking to your VP or if you’re an Agency Director talking to your Brand Client. You need to demonstrate that your reasoning is sound, and your plan is positioned to be a success. Experiential marketing benchmarks allow you to differentiate yourself from the external and internal competition and demonstrate the value before the money is spent.
  • Negotiate Better Venue and Sponsorship Agreements
    The right benchmarks will give you a point of reference when speaking with venue managers or when developing sponsorship agreements. You’ll be in a stronger negotiating position with data on your side because you can validate venue manager and producer performance commitments and choose the best sponsorship package.
  • Validating a Proposal’s Performance Promise and Budget
    A solid benchmarking resource will allow you to validate an outside agency or vendor’s plan. We recommend that you consult the right benchmarking tables in your report anytime you’re evaluating an experiential activation strategy; validate agency performance commitments and evaluate a campaign’s budget before committing.
  • Managing Campaign Performance
    When you have performance benchmarks from dozens of experiential programs you know what to expect. The proper use and application of experiential benchmarks will allow you to establish the right Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to evaluate campaign performance during execution and recap your program when it is complete.
