Social networks are connected through moving images across multiple screens, linking up online and offline consumers, creating unique experiences in marketing, while improving brands’ popularity with users, and closing the gap between the audience and brands.
From Brand Experience and Activation Lions newly included in this year’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, it can be observed that the Customer Brand Experience Journey has become a critical standard of the industry. It is important to encourage customers to fully participate in the brand experience. Brand preference can be built through direct experience. Rafale Chang, founder and CEO of Tiger Party, who has years of experience in interactive technology and consumer behavior, believes that “On the condition of following the latest industrial trend, increasing brand affinity while maintaining the price-performance ratio, the whole brand experience with full of surprise is the key. Furthermore, creating individual memories for consumers is essential to increase brand preference. This is due to the fact that existence may transcend to participation.” He further elaborates on the key to inspire global buzz. “Once the brand has grown to a certain level, one may contemplate how to use the unique geographic condition of Times Square. Numerous global tourists shape Times Square into an extraordinary international stage and the quickest method for global advertisement. Under many years of collaboration with brand marketing teams, I have observed that when the interactive advertisement is well-established, one may generate one of a kind of ‘collective memories‘ at Times Square, and spread it around the globe.“
Use Hashtag# To Encourage Participation, While Maintaining Social Influence of The Brand
One has to use the popular social network and invite fans to participate in online and offsite events of brands. Through a Social Moderation Platform developed by Tiger Party, one may locate contents with the event hashtag from the public information of social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. After the evaluation by the brand manager, User Generated Content will be projected instantly to Times Square, while the system broadcasts the footage back to participants. It generates exclusive interaction and also breaks regional bounds, enabling global consumers to exhibit their personal memory in Times Square on social network. 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics Campaign and #AerieREAL summer solstice International Yoga Day Campaign which have just concluded both utilized this strategy in generated interactions with consumers. In #AerieREAL yoga event, Social Moderation Platform of Tiger Party received 3508 feeds tagged with #AerieREAL in four hours. Over hundreds of users had participated in the broadcast, creating an irreplaceable brand memory.
National Brand: Heart of Asia Interactive Sensory and VR Event
With advanced software and hardware, Tiger Party has designed exclusive interactive events for the Taiwan Tourism Bureau through utilization of a motion detection system. When citizens from New York and Taipei formed their arms into heart shapes via an interactive billboard at Times Square, special fireworks effects were triggered, while the screen broadcast a promotional video for tourism in Taiwan. Showcasing well-known tourist sites in Taiwan through an immersive VR bicycle experience also provided participants with a simple and interesting opportunity to experience bike riding in Taiwan. The scenery was also projected at Times Square via AR technology, which advertises the unique attractions of Taiwan to visitors to Times Square. Such events not only become well-known in the social network, but also successfully convey the national image of “Taiwan-The Heart of Asia” to the American market.
