Award-Winning Pop-Up Events

Achieving stand out from the crowd and forming a genuine intimate dialogue with one’s customers, are just two of the many benefits of an immersive pop-up experience or event. Where else does a brand get to create and define completely the moment when a person uses or interacts with a product? Pop-ups allow for deep and meaningful two-way conversations with an audience – an audience that the brand gets to select with planning and creative. If advertising in general could be described as shouting at a group of people from a far, then a pop-up experience is an intimate conversation with your best mates over a cuppa! 

But pop-up brand experiences are expensive, so its really important to plan not just for the physical, but to also broadcast elements of the work to the digital world. This method can turn the most expensive experiences into efficient marketing spend! You can find out more about how to do this properly in our Live Event Broadcast Agency area. 

Pop-up shop events have been proven to elevate potential consumers’ trust in brands, leading to loyal and returning customers. That’s why for nearly two decades, TED Experience has been creating award-winning and sales-driving popup retail campaigns for global companies. We figure out how, where, when and who to show your products to and manage every aspect of the campaign – just the way a leading pop-up events company should.

When TED Experience partnered with Campari, we were tasked to capitalise on the success of the Negroni cocktail to further drive sales and brand engagement in London. We created “The Negroni Bar by Campari”, a semi-permanent pop-up bar which housed the world’s largest selection of Negroni cocktails.

TED transformed a warehouse space into an Italian speakeasy bar for drinkers to enjoy perfect serve Negroni’s. The bar featured an old Italian street scene fly posted with historic Campari advertising from the last century, and inside housed a modernist art installation – a metaphor for the Negroni drink. To engage the ‘on-trade’ audience, we orchestrated the ‘Red Night Sessions’: Invite only parties from 1am till 6am specifically for London’s mixologists to enjoy the space after their shifts. Word spread quickly and these sessions became instantly famous, ensuring Campari was top of mind for all of London’s bar staff. We also engaged over 20 other independent bars in Shoreditch to carry Campari Negroni menus for the period, effectively allowing Campari to ‘own’ Shoreditch for the whole month. The social reach from all activity was targeted and effective.
