Brand activation is about bringing brands to life through innovative experiences that drive consumer action and engagement. The key is to set goals, understand audiences, and use appropriate channels to deliver messages. Tactics may include experiential marketing, sampling campaigns, digital marketing, and guerilla marketing. Metrics should measure awareness, leads, wins, and ROI. An example campaign had customers unlock lockers for prizes to effortlessly drive people to stores and collect customer data.

What they did

could win 6 potential EQT prize packs.

Customers were effortlessly driven to
retail through the mystery and fun of
receiving a locker combination to
receive a prize. Additionally, the
company was able to collect customer

excited to engage with.
