The Basics of Experiential Event Planning

So, You’ve Successfully Organized Your Sister’s Baby Shower? Your partner’s 40th birthday? Or, the ultimate challenge—your closest friends’ wedding? And it was such a resounding success, with happy tears all around, that you now believe you have what it takes to launch a career in event planning? Maybe… But maybe not!

Our colleague Lisa-Marie, Project Manager in Experiential Events, recently shared the ins and outs of her expertise during a lunch & learn. And we learned that when it comes to bringing a brand to life on the ground, all the goodwill in the world will never replace dedicated field teams, a top-tier network of suppliers, an exceptional ability to manage the unexpected, and above all, a flawless knack for problem-solving! Here’s a recap of what we took away.

What is Experiential Event Planning?

Experiential events create lasting memories. Immersive experiences generate deep emotional connections that strengthen brand loyalty. As we often say: People might forget what you told them, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel!

In-person interactions allow for tailored messaging. Our Franchir ambassadors can adapt their approach based on the location, audience, and conversation length—far beyond what an ad could achieve.

Observing audience reactions firsthand provides immediate feedback on products and services, giving brands valuable consumer insights.
By engaging with participants directly, we can capture authentic testimonials, naturally boosting brand awareness. It’s also the perfect opportunity to involve influencers and brand loyalists in a strategic visibility campaign. Positive experiences encourage organic word-of-mouth, amplifying the impact.
