Events Are More Than Just For Celebrities!
Event activations, especially awards shows, are a marketer's dream! Having celebrities and influencers all in the same room, with massive amounts of media exposure, is the perfect way for a brand to showcase their products and services.
Celebrity events are watched and enjoyed by millions, and there are a myriad of ways for your brand to get involved with them. From entire event sponsorships to swag bags, there are seemingly endless opportunities for amazing partnerships. In this blog, Hollywood Branded recaps some of our blogs about marketing within Hollywood events.
The Future of a Product Featured at an Awards Season Event
There is always a screening process, to what brand will make an awards season swag bag for inclusion. The level of scrutiny is based on opportunity, and is typically overseen by the producer of the swag bag. Producers of the swag bag can range anywhere between an actual corporate entity like The Recording Academy for the Grammys, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for the Oscars, The Sundance Institute for the Sundance Film Festival, or a hired agency who produces the swag bag, as is the case with the Golden Globes. Brand managers should typically expect to provide two to five items of whatever product being considered (and not expect these items to be returned.)
Products are chosen based on best-in-brand-category, (of those brands indicating interest in participating), price point, and overall potential interest to celebrities. Typically brand category exclusivity is guaranteed.
