The more experiential technology changes, the more one rule stays the same: Tech should serve the story, not overshadow it. Discover how seven leading brands are getting it right. From @Nike's AR-enabled shopping experiences to SoFi Stadium's interactive fan engagement, these examples show how thoughtful integration of technology can transform brand connections. 👇 https://lnkd.in/gp6whFTq

Experiential marketing isn't just for consumer brands. Take universities, for example... A constant stream of prospective students, alumni, parents, faculty, and other visitors creates so many opportunities to engage, educate, and entertain. Smart universities realize that they are brands too. That they have "customers." And those customers value high-quality experiences.

Technology has become ubiquitous in experiential marketing. So, how does AI fit into it all? Is it replacing existing capabilities? Or simply improving them? Well, the answer is both. In this guide, we examine two distinct approaches to using AI in brand activations: AI-enhanced and AI-first. Along with plenty of examples to inspire your next activation.

Fresh as a spring day... or in this case, the corridors of LinkedIn's Chicago Headquarters. 🌼 For this statement-piece logo bug, we developed a process for drying live flowers and encasing them in a 300-lb cast acrylic block. 🏋️♂️ The logo lockup was reverse milled out of the block, then inlaid with white resin, and polished to a crystal-clear finish. ✨ We love how bespoke signage can elevate an interior, put a smile on employees' faces, and add life to what can otherwise be a maze of Sheetrock.
