Audio Visual needs for Brand Activations
A successful brand activation is at the top of every Marketing Executive’s check list. Brand activations use the art of driving consumer action through brand interaction and experiences. The competitive atmosphere of branded marketing events and the social media appeal they possess require stellar event planning and technical event production. Influencers flock to brand activations ( art of driving consumer action through brand interaction and experiences) to foster their sense of being a VIP tastemaker and to take photos, videos, and gifs to share with their social media followers who in turn, vicariously live through their experiences. This trickle-down effect is Marketing gold but also puts the pressure on experiential event planners and designers to make the next event more successful than the last.
Included under the umbrella of technical event production, lighting and audio/visual play a huge role in the success of brand activations, large or small.
The following is a checklist to help you execute an impactful experience that communicates your clients’ branding mission to the end consumer in the form of a unique and memorable event.
Lighting
Lighting provides your guests with a strong and immediate visual experience by highlighting the most important design elements of your event. Lighting is used to enhance product placement, scenic themes, video content, staging, seating, and other focus points.
There are several types of lighting that BML-Blackbird Theatrical Servicescan provide that will give your event the desired affect/mood and compliment the brands’ colors.
Conventional Lights include PAR cans (a circular or oval soft edged pool of light), Ellipisodial fixtures (fixed-beam size static spotlights allowing you to light people and things strategically without washing out other lighting), LED wall washes, and Fresnel fixtures that provide high powered, soft-edged light.
Intelligent Lights, also known as moving lights, have mechanical abilities and can be programmed to change color and positioning. Moving lights are great for floods, beams, and elaborate air effects. BML-Blackbird has a full inventory of cutting edge moving light technology made by manufacturers like Robe, Martin Professional, Chauvet, Elation Professional, High End Systems, and more.
Gobos are stencils or templates placed inside, or in front of, a light source to control the shape of the light emitted. Gobos are used with projectors and simpler light sources to create lighting scenes, project logos on red carpets, dance floors, walls, and more.
Video
Similar to lighting, video can be a focal point of your event design. Video capabilities include indoor/outdoor LED walls (various resolutions and sizes), touch screens, projection and monitor packages, studio-grade camera systems, record/playback in any format, and video engineering.
Audio
Audio packages include (but not limited to) microphones, monitors, wireless systems, professional DJ gear, and backline.
Speaker Systems, Processing and Amplification: To deliver perfect sound you need maximum clarity and minimum distortion. We can supply everything from full flown line arrays for large festivals and events to ground stacks systems suitable for smaller venues with low ceilings.
