Experiential agencies are masters at communication and human connection. Unlike traditional advertising, experiential marketing encourages meaningful engagement and creates an emotional attachment between the brand and the consumer.
Corporate events are most effective when they tell a story and offer immersive experiences for attendees. Audio-visual (AV) technology is one of the most powerful tools experiential agencies can use to craft impactful brand activations that stick with people.
But to achieve spectacular results, you need a team that delivers. Not all AV companies are equal when it comes to experiential events. Today, we’re breaking down why AV is so essential to experiential marketing and everything you need to look for in a provider.
Experiential events are all about connecting with audiences through immersive, emotionally impactful experiences. The right technology can enhance storytelling and turn traditional brand messaging into an interactive, sensory experience.
A large-scale corporate activation packs a bigger punch with dynamic sound and eye-catching visuals.
Projection mapping technology creates a 3D experience, turning standard flat visuals into an immersive environment. This software allows you to project video onto irregular surfaces, meaning your venue becomes a playground for stunning displays.
VR effects are the ultimate experiential technology, helping you achieve true immersion in your presentations. Give your guests an interactive tour, a VR gaming session, or add an otherworldly effect to pre-recorded content.
Spatial audio creates a 3D experience, but for sound rather than video. This technology makes it feel as though sound is coming from all around, including above and below the listener. This creates a sense of depth that you can’t achieve with standard audio systems, making every sound feel more immersive and emotionally resonant.
High-quality visuals are at the core of experiential technology. Investing in smooth video and vivid colors with a large LED wall can go a long way in capturing attention. You can also increase engagement with interactive displays like touchscreens and kiosks. Or go a more futuristic route with holograms and augmented reality exhibits.
A good AV company will be well-versed in experiential marketing principles and know how to work alongside you to plan and design events that feel intentional and creatively cohesive.
Your provider should be your trusted guide when it comes to all things AV. Just operating equipment isn’t enough. They need to have up-to-date knowledge of AV technologies, their applications, and equipment compatibility.
Choose a company that demonstrates knowledge and expertise in the full range of AV services. A provider like Catalyst has a multi-disciplinary team that offers a blend of flexible knowledge and niche expertise.
Any type of big-scale event involves some hiccups, and when that happens, you need to be able to rely on your partners to address issues quickly and efficiently. An experienced AV provider knows exactly what to do when technical challenges arise. They’ll be able to stay calm and fix problems before your audience is even aware of them.
Experiential events need to be personal and unique to each brand, and they vary widely in terms of complexity and size. You need an AV partner that can offer customized setups that help you reach your specific goals. Ideally, you’ll find a company that you can work with on an ongoing basis.
But to develop a lasting relationship, you need to know that your partner can adapt to diverse experiential strategies and scale their services to meet the needs of your brand.
Managing AV during an experiential event is quite an undertaking and you shouldn't have to be tasked with overseeing your event and handling production throughout the process. Instead, look for an AV company that offers full-service support, from initial design to real-time event production.
AV is a rapidly evolving industry, and if you want to make a long-lasting emotional connection with customers, you need technology that feels fresh and modern. Choosing a company that owns and maintains its equipment offers huge advantages.
Not only will your technical team be familiar with the equipment and software, but the technology itself is more likely to be updated regularly and in good condition. Catalyst has an expansive collection of state-of-the-art equipment—no rentals needed.
A true partner will offer practical services like transportation, setup, and teardown. They should ultimately be there to reduce your burden and allow you to focus on creating a meaningful experience for audiences. Find a company that works well with your other vendors so you don’t have to be the middle man during your event.
An AV company with years of experience designing diverse events and working with experiential agencies is a major plus.
You don’t want to end up having to teach your technicians how experiential events work while they’re on the job. Instead, you want to work with people who already have the foundational knowledge they need to craft memorable experiences without a costly trial and error process.
Catalyst is a true partner for experiential agencies looking to take their activations to the next level. With decades of hands-on experience, a team of experts, and a catalogue of cutting-edge technology, we can provide you with the start-to-finish creative and technical support you need.
