Are you planning an event in the coming weeks for the holidays? Well if so, then you’re in luck! Because in today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 creative ideas to get your guests engaged especially during this festive time of year. These ideas are inspired by our past events we’ve produced for brands including Bob’s Red Mill, Simply Organic and more. They’re absolutely tried and tested!

But don’t think this episode is just about throwing a fun party. In fact, what I’m about to share with you are ideas based on experiential marketing principles that work, no matter the setting. It’s a fact that when people are creating, learning, or connecting, they are more likely to retain the experience (and your brand) in their long-term memory. As a brand marketer, this is THE Holy grail, so why settle for anything less?
