With the COVID restrictions in the UK looking like they’ll be coming to an end, and the winter months soon to be behind us, it’s time for brands to start looking ahead and planning brand experiences for the summer of 2022…

Why You Should Start Planning Now:

It’s no secret that the opportunity for the world get out and have irl experiences has dwindled with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Safety restrictions and distancing measures have long since affected the ability for brands to provide this through brand activations and experiential marketing strategies.

With the UK government close to announcing the end of COVID restrictions, you can be sure to anticipate a vast upward trend in the number of brand experiences this summer, as well as the consumer appetite for brand activations of this nature.

To create and execute a successful brand activation takes months of preparation and planning, thus there is little time to waste if kickstarting your summer brand activation this 2022. You’ll also have to consider the availability of venues and event staff, both of which will be getting booked up very quickly by proactive brands.

Things to Consider when Preparing a Brand Activation:

There are many elements and variables to factor in when planning your experience, many of which may not spring to mind at first for those new to event planning. Here’s a quick list of the most common;

  • Finding and booking a location/venue
  • Organising event staffing
  • Health and Safety documentation/insurance
  • Creating and implementing venue design & layout
  • Event photography
  • Licensing

(and many, many more!)
