Interactive neon wings event activation where a visitor poses for a photo during a night festival installation.

Beware of "experiential" events that are just razzle-dazzle. Instead, design events that provide truly useful and meaningful experiences.

Events vs. Activations: What the Heck is the Difference in PR? This question comes up a lot on my new business calls: What’s the difference between an event and an activation?

❓
"Why don't you...?" ...have a product launch and decide if it's going to be an "event" or an "activation".

an illustration of a furry to the right in the image dropping playing cards. an animal to their left is carrying a dead bird in its mouth. squirrels to the left of that have died and burst open with mushrooms. ants crawl around the squirrels. a lily grows to the left of that. protestors behind or growing out of the lily stir up clouds of dust. there is a poem overlapping the image. the poem reads: O, horrific symphony of Death! creatures are blind players here; a harem of subjectivity and ignorance. trapped in being. --- Una ilustración muestra a un personaje peludo a la derecha de la imagen, dejando caer cartas de juego. Un animal a su izquierda lleva un pájaro muerto en la boca. Ardillas a la izquierda de este han muerto y sus cuerpos se han abierto, cubiertos de hongos. Hormigas pululan alrededor de las ardillas. Un lirio crece a la izquierda. Manifestantes, detrás del lirio o surgiendo de él, levantan nubes de polvo. Un poema se superpone a la imagen. El poema dice: ¡Oh, horrible sinfonía de la Muerte! Las criaturas son jugadores ciegos aquí; un harén de subjetividad e ignorancia. Atrapados en el ser.

a colored pencil illustration of a furry figure acting like a prism. the pure light of experience shines into the furry and is divided into sadness, anger, fear, joy, and disgust. for the most part, we all function like a prism to a degree, turning raw experiential data input from our environments and lives into inner emotional experiences. -- Una ilustración a lápiz de color de una figura peluda que actúa como un prisma. La luz pura de la experiencia incide sobre la figura peluda y se divide en tristeza, ira, miedo, alegría y asco. En gran medida, todos funcionamos como un prisma, transformando los datos brutos de la experiencia que recibimos de nuestro entorno y nuestras vidas en experiencias emocionales internas. -- Eine Illustration mit Buntstiften zeigt eine pelzige Figur, die wie ein Prisma wirkt. Das reine Licht der Erfahrung scheint in die pelzige Figur und wird in Traurigkeit, Wut, Angst, Freude und Ekel aufgeteilt. Im Grunde funktionieren wir alle bis zu einem gewissen Grad wie ein Prisma, indem wir die rohen Erfahrungsdaten aus unserer Umgebung und unserem Leben in innere emotionale Erlebnisse umwandeln.

I fear to exhibit,
To be seen is to be anxious,
To be seen through, chill terror

My evasion is my undoing.
My evasion is my operation.
My evasion is my offensive
