Experiential marketing

Brand activations and experiential production in Argentina

Production, build, staff, PASE accreditation and audiovisual coverage for brand activations in Buenos Aires and across Argentina. Your agency brings the brand and the idea; we deliver it on the ground.

What a brand activation is

A brand activation, also called BTL (below the line) or experiential marketing, is a brand action that happens where people are: a launch, a stand, a fan experience, sampling or a photo point. Instead of showing people an ad, the brand gets them to live something in person.

SOMOS DER produces activations end to end in Argentina: build, suppliers, staff and brand ambassadors, accreditation on PASE, our own QR accreditation platform, and audiovisual coverage. We have done it for brands reaching the provinces, for agencies abroad that needed a team in the country and for events with thousands of attendees.

Activating in another Latin American country?

Argentina is home and where we are strongest. For other countries in the region we work with our own suppliers under the same production direction.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a BTL brand activation?

A brand action people experience in person, where the audience is: launches, stands, fan experiences, sampling, photo points. BTL means below the line, as opposed to mass advertising (ATL) on TV, radio or outdoor.

What is the difference between BTL and ATL?

ATL advertising speaks to many people at once through mass media. BTL looks for direct contact with a narrower audience: the person tries the product, takes the photo or gets into the launch. That is why on-site execution (build, staff, access) matters as much as the idea.

What does SOMOS DER do in a brand activation?

We produce it end to end or join for one part: full production and build, staff and brand ambassadors, accreditation and access control on PASE, audiovisual coverage and food for stands. Each service works on its own or combined.

Do you run activations outside Buenos Aires?

Yes. We produced the 3 DiDi launch events in Bariloche, Formosa and Catamarca, and the photo activation for Livelo and Banco do Brasil Estilo at Cerro Catedral, in Bariloche.

Can you act as the local team for an agency abroad?

Yes, it is one of the ways we work most. In Argentina we delivered the DiDi launches for a Mexican agency, the Manchester City Treble Trophy Tour for the UK agency that designed the experience and the Cerro Catedral activation for the Brazilian agency Elkis18.

How do you control who gets into an activation with guests?

With PASE, our own QR accreditation platform: invitations, RSVP, credentials and door control. We used it, for example, at the official launch of INCAA’s 41st Mar del Plata International Film Festival, with three invitation circuits and VIP and Press credentials.

How much does a brand activation in Argentina cost?

It depends on the city, the duration, the staff and what needs to be built, so we quote each activation to measure. Tell us the essentials in the quote form and we will put together a proposal at no cost.
