Born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, these emerging professionals are not just another wave of fresh blood; they’re a tidal shift in workplace dynamics. If you are looking at your team and haven’t considered the Gen Z factor, it’s time to tune in.

And still, all these traditional social media engagement strategies just aren’t working for any of us. So, what can event professionals learn from Threads, from how it attracted users to its post-launch slump and engagement drop-off?

We don’t need to say it, but we will; Barbie will go down in history for being one of the best case stories for how experiential marketing enhanced the customer experience, deepened the brand’s relationships with its fans, and most notably, drove sales to new heights.

Experiential marketing at South By Southwest (SXSW) has come a long way since 1987. The RED VELVET team shares some of their thoughts on the 2023 festival and the good, surprising, and underwhelming.

As a woman-owned experiential marketing agency and WBENC certified organization, it is RED VELVET’s commitment to not only nurture a culture of support and empowerment for the women on our team, but also be part of larger conversations happening throughout the world.

Just like the rest of the world… we have become enamored by the latest AI available to the public, Chat GPT. We are constantly being confused on google for red velvet cake, Red Velvet the K-Pop group, and even red velvet carpets! So, we challenged Chat GPT to write us an article comparing Red Velvet the K-Pop group to the experiential events. Curious about what it came up with?
