Maybe I’m showing my age but imagine you’re navigating through a sprawling festival site, perhaps juggling a messy gourmet burger and a drink, your feet already aching. Suddenly, you spot a quiet, shaded area with comfortable seating, and for a moment, the chaotic energy of the event recedes. You take a deep breath, settle into a chair, and feel the tension ease out of your body. There’s a lot to be said for it...

Event marketing is currently the star player in the IPA (Institute of Practitioners in Advertising)’s new Bellwether report, showing an unrivalled streak of growth over nine consecutive quarters. But why are savvy marketers increasingly investing in live events despite tightening budgets? The allure, as we’ve witnessed, lies in the unparalleled ability of live events to forge connections, evoke emotions, and create memorable experiences that digital platforms can only aspire to.

In an era where digital saturation has left consumers yearning for real, tangible interactions, live events offer a sanctuary of authenticity. According to Eventbrite, events that provide unique live experiences see a 45% higher attendee satisfaction rate. This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a testament to the power of presence, a trait that digital campaigns can complement but not replace.

We look forward to seeing you under the covers – of our marquees soon.
