WHY EVENTS?
At AC Event & Design Studio, we understand that today consumers need to physically engage with products. Brands are in-turn responding with live, face-to face opportunities for audiences to connect through memorable, first-hand experiences. This is where word of mouth begins. At AC Event & Design Studio, we work with brands to create bold, original experiential programs such as festivals, concerts, corporate incentive programs, product launches, community and non-profit events with one goal in mind:
create a memory
People who undergo a live brand experience are likely to tell around 17 other people about that positive experience.
. . . In fact, each of those 17 people is likely to tell about 1.5 other people which means that if 1 person experiences a live brand activation, a little more than 25 other people will hear about it through word-of-mouth. Word-of-mouth is one of the most powerful advertising mediums out there because consumers trust people they know versus an ad they saw on TV, the internet or heard on the radio.
65% of consumers surveyed said live events helped them have a better understanding of a product or service, vastly surpassing digital efforts and TV advertising as methods of recognizing and learning about a brand.
74% of event attendees say that they have a more positive opinion about the company, brand, product or service being promoted after the event.
According to 80% of attendants, live demonstrations and free samples significantly help define their purchasing decision. (EventTrack)
