Camp Yellowjackets at the SXSW Festival

The SXSW Festival is one of the most highly-anticipated film festivals, attracting big-name production companies and entertainment brands. And this festival is chock-full of experiential events. For three days, festival goers, for example, could experience Camp Yellowjackets, the abandoned camp featured on Showtime’s hit series. 

The Claude Monet Immersive Experience

Another great example of a successful experiential event is the Claude Monet Immersive Experience. Spread across several cities; this activation invited participants to step into the “dream world of the impressionist painting style’s founder.” Featuring 360-degree projections, 15,000 square feet of screens, and VR technology, this crowd-pleasing event introduces thousands to the brilliant works of Claude Monet in a digitally-immersive environment.

Listerine Users Are More Likely to…

Check out this Listerine activation, which proved to be a wild success. Starting off with “Listerine Users Are More Likely to..” this street engagement drew crowds and featured performances and participants doing all kinds of things. 

  • Listerine users are more likely to do yo-yo tricks
  • Listerine users are more likely to beatbox
  • Listerine users are more likely to be in a magician’s act

Crowds gathered, danced, and participated. They also shared videos on social media and boosted the brand, in addition to getting customers to try and sample the popular mouthwash.
