SINGAPORE – Today’s marketplace is cluttered with products and services, and heavily packed with diverse marketing efforts in place to entice and attract consumers. Brands are now confronted with the challenge to differentiate themselves, forge connections and evoke emotions in consumers. In order to beat the marketing rat race and emerge as industry tops, marketers must move beyond merely drawing eyeballs to their brands, to forging lasting relationships that translate into sales and customer retention.
Pacific Conferences is organising a 2-day conference on “Experiential Marketing” from 25 – 26 January 2010, in Singapore, to equip marketers with current experiential marketing skills and insights to enhance brand experience and connect with customers.
This conference will analyse the current landscape and potential of experiential marketing in Asia today. In-depth experiential marketing insights and applicable strategies with the incorporation of authenticity, user-generated content, design considerations and campaigns that awakens consumers’ curiosity to enhance connections and brand experience with consumers will be shared at the conference. These will be substantiated with case studies from and of a myriad of industries including the FMCG, Entertainment, Automotives and Travel & Hospitality.
Highlighting the need for marketers to look into and implement experiential initiatives in their marketing strategies, Erik Hauser, VP/ECD of Euro RSCG Impact and the Founder of The Experiential Marketing Forum mentioned that “Traditional marketing theories and practices are rapidly changing and becoming less relevant,” and “Moving forward, experiential marketing is a fundamental basis for the future of marketing strategy.”
Determine key Asia-cultural drivers and pick up implementation experiential marketing strategies from the Managing Director APAC, Luke Nathans, from iris Experience, through the case studies of Sony Ericsson and Heineken from the conference. Also, find out how Disney Channels Southeast Asia’s 360 degrees campaign created immersive experiences that encourages active participation from their target audience with the Director of Integrated Marketing, Jennifer Ng.
