Experiential marketing isn’t a line item. It’s a strategic driver of culture, commerce, and community. In this episode of Production Value Matters, Matthew Byrne sits down with Brook Jay, a pioneer in the experiential space and founder of All Terrain, to unpack how top brands are rethinking the power of real-world connections.

Brook shares how her agency has evolved to connect digital, social, and IRL touchpoints while proving measurable ROI (and ROE). From a casino floor problem in Las Vegas to creating a never-before-seen airline activation, Brook tells the story of how deep consumer insight and smart experience design changed everything for a client—and reset the bar for the entire category.

If you’ve ever had to convince a stakeholder that experiential “works,” this is your new go-to episode.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why experiential marketing deserves a seat at the strategy table, not just the event plan
• How to design activations that align directly with business goals and KPIs
• What “Return on Experience (ROE)” means and how to measure it effectively
• How one in-flight activation helped transform foot traffic into casino revenue
• Why brands must earn their way into culture through authenticity and micro-communities
• The metrics that matter most when building for long-term customer value
• How to treat every event as a content engine with lasting impact
• What production teams can do to become trusted creative and strategic collaborators
