Singapore, November 24, 2009 – Today’s marketplace is cluttered with
products and services, and heavily packed with diverse marketing efforts in
place to entice and attract consumers. Brands are now confronted with the
challenge to differentiate themselves, forge connections and evoke emotions
in consumers. In order to beat the marketing rat race and emerge as industry
tops, marketers must move beyond merely drawing eyeballs to their brands, to
forging lasting relationships that translate into sales and customer
retention.
Pacific Conferences is organising a 2-day conference on “Experiential
Marketing” from 25 – 26 January 2010, in Singapore, to equip marketers with
current experiential marketing skills and insights to enhance brand
experience and connect with customers.

experiential marketing in Asia today. In-depth experiential marketing
insights and applicable strategies with the incorporation of authenticity,
user-generated content, design considerations and campaigns that awakens
consumers’ curiosity to enhance connections and brand experience with
consumers will be shared at the conference. These will be substantiated with
case studies from and of a myriad of industries including the FMCG,
Entertainment, Automotives and Travel & Hospitality.
Highlighting the need for marketers to look into and implement experiential
initiatives in their marketing strategies, Erik Hauser, VP/ECD of Euro RSCG
Impact and the Founder of The Experiential Marketing Forum mentioned that

becoming less relevant,” and “Moving forward, experiential marketing is a
fundamental basis for the future of marketing strategy.”
