Utilizing Experiential Marketing to Promote Your Brand

DFW AMA Executive Luncheon

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The DFW American Marketing Association (DFW AMA) presents Blake McKinney, Group Head, of The Richards Group/Latitude.

Yes, brand messaging can be introduced, reinforced and even established in the minds of consumers through experiential marketing. It’s more than a banner on a stage, hospitality at a tradeshow, or logo placement through a sponsorship.

Today’s splintered marketing landscape dictates the need for brands big and small to connect one-on-one to gain quality brand experiences that drive deep understanding, interest and patronage. Brands in HandsTM experiential programs accomplish that task.

Come hear how industries from consumer packaged goods to vulcanized rubber, financial to automotive have deployed experiential marketing to their advantage.

You'll come away with:

• Knowledge of how experiential marketing can truly extend, enhance and reinforce branding efforts

• Real-world examples of how industries and brands of any size or shape can tap into the potential of experiential marketing.

Blake McKinney was a leader in the ‘integrated’ marketing approach. With a varied and progressive career path, Blake spent five years in brand management (James Hardie Building Products) and other cool things like experiential marketing for Activision Action Sports Games, Microsoft’s launch of Windows 2000 and PowerBar athlete sponsorship integration. After rejoining The Richards Group/Latitude, he has headed up campaigns for; Dr Pepper/7UP, Weight Watchers consumer package goods, Zeno blemish control devices, AMD processors, Hyundai, la Madeleine and Auntie Anne’s to help grow their brand equity.
