Element Build Brand-inspired memories

Element-blog-picIf you’ve chosen a holiday, weekend break or overnight experience for your next prize promotion or incentive, you’ve already made one important step toward a successful outcome. It’s not necessarily about offering something that people can’t organise for themselves – although sometimes the prize has so much ‘wow factor’, they really can’t. It’s the time saved doing it, it’s not having to find that extra bit of cash and, even if they had all that, it’s having everything taken care of by an expert prize winner manager, providing a 24 hour concierge service and a real VIP experience.

Ultimately don’t forget that it’s all coming from you, because your winner won’t. It was you that gave them the ticket to ride, and when they’re sipping Champagne overlooking the Eiffel Tower, enjoying the fruits of a tapas masterclass in Barcelona, or watching the sunset from a Manhattan rooftop – your brand will be right there, leading their experience.

Start trading in this powerful currency and you’ve taken your product and your message a long way into people’s lives. You are giving customers and staff something very special, and laying down the building blocks of association between happiness, good times and your brand.

The photo in the living room serves as a reminder that it was your brand that turned them into winners and gave them a prize experience they will never forget – a short moment in time that buys you some pretty heavyweight loyalty. http://www.element-london.com/

 

“WOW!” – The Power of Social Media

Sian Thomas – business owner of  the nightclub Linardo in Naoussa on the Greek island of Paros – is testament to the power of social media.  When she created and posted this stunning image to Linardo’s Facebook business page she was quite surprised…

After only a few days the picture had gone viral…

The post has now reached over 400,000 people and shared over 3,500 times.

Sian is hoping to welcome some of those thousands to Linardo this summer.

Ambient’s new approach to experiential marketing

ambient-mchAmbient reveal new agency strategy placing emotion at the heart of creating influential brand experiences.

Experiential agency, Ambient, has this week re-launched their agency with a fresh identity and a new approach to experiential marketing which places the effect of consumer emotions at its heart.

At the nexus of Ambient’s new approach is an emphasis on understanding the part which emotions play in serving as powerful markers of memory and behavioural influence.

To capitalise on this, Ambient has developed a unique planning matrix that draws upon a set of six psychological influencers. In the application of this model, Ambient maximise the effect of emotions evoked by an experience. The benefit in employing this new strategy is to empower brands with the ability to build enduring consumer relationships far more capable of transforming interactions into meaningful action and making brands part of consumers own stories.

This follows recent developments at Ambient which include deeper integration of digital and social media, the launch of a comprehensive social media measurement platform and bespoke technical solutions – embracing the trend towards real-world experiences driving consumer generated content.

The new identity reflects the 3 core services (Experiential & Sampling, Ambient & Disruptive Media and Promotional Staffing) and a uniquely scientific approach to delivering brand experiences.

“At Ambient, we have invested heavily in changing the way we approach experiential marketing in all its forms.

The landscape of marketing opportunities has changed dramatically over the past five years; we continue to innovate and provide the best possible services to our clients.

This stage in Ambient’s journey is reflective of our passion and dedication to our mission to provide the most effective and exciting ways to engage audiences and enable brands to become part of consumers own stories.” – Jonathan Schultz | CEO

Ambient is an award winning agency specialising in experiential marketing, disruptive media stunts, national sampling campaigns and innovative ambient media. Ambient works for a variety of clients and agencies including Zeo, Clinique, Sport Relief, Haribo, Ford, Waitrose, Nike & Red Bull.

Ambient recently won GOLD within the experiential marketing category at the IPM COGS awards.

 

How EMC Mugs save 50p off your coffee

Did you know that by buying your staff and contacts a travel mug with your design you will be saving them 50p off a coffee?

Let me explain, Starbucks offer a discount on every hot drink for supplying your own mug.  In addition to reducing the environmental impact of paper cup landfill they are also encouraging loyalty and saving the cost of their own packaging production which even in the millions of cups is estimated at 16p including carriage and storage.

0f42998d-9bd0-4a2d-89d6-96b8bace669cd9823b8c-fe76-4190-b7ae-44146fa4b5aa9e4600af-a22a-441b-8a79-b7e208bec254

 

 

 

 

 

For a long time this discount has been set at 25p per hot drink but from the start of April they are stepping up the discount to 50p per drink.

This is an initial trial for 2 months but I would bet that the positive publicity of the decision will be enough to keep it in place on-going.

So what could be a simpler way to reward your clients and staff than to give them the gift of 50p off their morning brew?

If you were to buy 100 of our Conway plus mugs at £3.05 (including a 1 colour print) the cost would be refunded by Starbucks in just over 6 drink purchases and 100 people out there would be walking around with a brightly coloured travel mug with your message or logo printed the whole way round for them and everyone else to see. That’s got to be worth more than a tile advert in the local paper!

It’s an offer that will please both the marketing and finance department!

QUOTE CoffeeCrazy for free set up and (UK mainland) delivery so what you see is what you pay.

Offer valid on all the travel mugs included in the email for orders placed during April 2016, current lead time is 2 weeks from artwork approval. (Prices are ex-VAT).
