B-to-C Events

Last weekend, LG Electronics unveiled the LG Chalet in Beaver Creek, CO, to expose hardcore ski fans to its home electronics and appliances at the Birds of Prey World Cup Ski event. The brand invited the 20,000 attendees of the event to visit its high-tech home on the slopes and immerse themselves in the LG brand while relaxing from a long day on the slopes. LG is the exclusive electronics/appliance partner of the event, and leveraged that partnership on-site through social media, digital signage and VIP hospitality, in addition to the Chalet.

To capture new audiences as well as get current viewers excited for the launch of season two of its hit series “Doomsday Preppers,” the National Geographic Channel activated an end of days-themed bunker experience at NASCAR races in Phoenix on Nov. 11, and Miami on Nov. 18.

There's nothing like the taste of home, and Bulla Creamy Classics, the ice cream line of the 102-year-old Australian brand Bulla Dairy Foods, is reminding Aussies of that this holiday season with its new campaign, Bring ‘Em Home. Central to the campaign is a contest where Aussie expats, backpackers and the like can enter to win a free trip home this summer (that’s February, for Aussies) by uploading a 30-second video message to Facebook describing what they are missing Down Under.

Luxury champagne brand Krug Champagne, a division of Moet Hennessey, activated its second annual Krug House pop-up experience in New York City on Oct. 7. The brand rolled out a week-long high-end tribute to all that is luxury with programming that included a private dinner kickoff to name the winner of the Krug Lifetime Achievement Award and two invite-only $300 Krug tasting dinners benefitting The James Beard Foundation and hosted by Iron Chef Marc Forgione, Olivier Krug and Margareth Henriquez, president and ceo of Krug.

As part of a strategy to grow its audience and engage with youth, NASCAR on November 16 brought 2,300 Dade County middle school students and teachers to Homestead Miami Speedway for a first-hand look at science, technology, engineering and math (a group of study topics collectively know as “STEM”)—all with a racing spin. The field trip is the culmination of a three-part program involving hands-on and in-person activities designed by Ten80 Education, a team of scientists, teachers, professors and parents to help students understand STEM subjects.
