top

5.  Reputation
To gage the quality of the event marketing company you are interviewing for your brands next activation make sure you are able to obtain a good idea of the clients the company has serviced in the past.   Never relay on just a website these days, instead go by the facts.  How long has the company been in business and what have they produced in the past for their clients.

4.  Experience

When producing events and marketing campaigns in the New York and NYC area make sure the company you choose has experience working within in the marketplace.  Having a company that is familiar with the dynamics of NYC will help make for a seamless activation.

3.  Creativity

One of the most important factors on both an event and marketing level.  How does your potential event marketing company stand out from the rest.  What can this company create that someone else can’t and how will it excite and inspire your audience at your next event.

2. Leadership

Execution at your event, get to know your team ahead of time.  Who will be the account representatives responsible for onsite coordination at your event.  This is a very important part of the event process as planning and execution at an event are two very different things.  With the right team, you will not have more time to focus on the event and not the details that go into pulling an event together!

1.  Resources

The single most important resource that you should focus on when selecting an event company for your next brand activation is its ability to deliver full event services to you internally.  This will cut out third party prices and allow your event company to produce a high quality event for you all while aligning within your budget.

If you have any questions on how to plan a successful event or marketing campaign in NYC or the New York area please feel free to give MMEink a call.  We look forward to the opportunity to share our creativity with you.  Visit us at MMEink for more information with your event

 

Sweet & Low Street Team Giveaway Contest

Sweet & Low Street Team Giveaway Contest

 

As part of ongoing efforts to reach out to younger consumers while also maintaining strong relationships with existing older customers, Sweet’N Low and AOR Kellen Communications partnered with producers of the Broadway musical comedy Nice Work If You Can Get It.

“It was a nice fit to embrace young and current consumers because the show’s demographic is 65% female, ages 25 to 55,” says Sweet’N Low brand manager Monica Oliva. “And one of the show’s songs, ‘Sweet and Lowdown,’ fit perfectly.”

A press release announcing the campaign was sent to traditional media outlets and bloggers covering theater on September 20. Bloggers covering giveaways were also targeted.

The random drawing sweepstakes ran September 20 to December 15 on www.sweetnlowpromotions.com and was promoted on Sweet’N Low’s Facebook page. Entrants provided their name, email, and phone number for the chance to win the grand prize of two VIP tickets to the musical that included meeting the stars backstage, two plane tickets, two nights in a hotel, and various Sweet’N Low souvenirs.

The campaign was promoted regularly on the musical’s Facebook page and in a September e-newsletter.

Message-trained street teams handed out co-branded Sweet’N Low packets and flyers at New York City’s Food and Wine Festival on October 12 and at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 22, where the musical’s cast members performed. One packet with a gold star was handed out during each event, and the recipients each won two show tickets.

Facebook posts promoted the street teams’ location and the chance to win show tickets from them.
