So excited!

What truly moves the needle for Gen Z/Millennials today? ?? How do you capture the attention of a generation that feels so disconnected? With bookstores, malls & public spaces fading into the past while everyone is glued to their screens, there’s a hunger for something more—genuine moments of connection. Here’s a fact: Did you know that 72% of Gen Z prefer spending money on experiences over material things? Now more than ever, brands have the chance to fill this gap by creating real-life experiences that go beyond online ad campaigns. These experiences offer the emotional connection the younger generation crave, turning casual customers into loyal advocates. In this video, Riley Zobel our marketing manager explores how brands can become the bridge to meaningful, in-person moments.?

The next big thing in marketing isn’t online—it’s on wheels! ?? Food trucks dominated the last decade, but the next trend is brands taking their products directly to the streets, transforming everyday locations into immersive brand moments. Here’s a wild stat: 72% of consumers say they’re more likely to buy a product after interacting with it in a unique, memorable experience in the real world...NOT ONLINE! We had a blast using AI to re-imagine pop-up trucks and see just how far this idea can go. From sleek mobile boutiques to themed experiences on wheels, these concepts aren’t just about convenience—they’re about creating unforgettable connections. We hope these concepts inspire you and your business to rethink how you bring your brand to life. Which one is your favorite? - Mattel, Inc. adidas the LEGO Group Sunrio hellokittyhub

Throwing it back to the unforgettable Big Gay Prom ????? activation we put together for Stoli back in the Y2k era. The idea stemmed from the insight that many LGBTQ individuals in the '90s and 2000s didn't get to attend prom with the person they truly wanted to. So, we decided to change that. We started the campaign with on-premise activations at the top LGBTQ bars across Chicagoland?—places like Sidetrack, Hydrate, and Roscoe's—who's ownership became our prom committee. At these venues, we were on the hunt for the Stoli Prom King and Queen. All Terrain collaborated with key accounts to create drink specials and specialty nights to support the event. These pre-prom events not only built excitement but also strengthened community ties. The culmination was the Big Gay Prom held at the iconic Hilton Towers Grand Ballroom. We crowned the King and Queen, who then had the honor of riding with Stoli on a float in the Gay Pride Parade. The night was MC by local icon Terri Hemmert from WXRT and Jessica Halem and featured music from Chicago's own Sixteen Candles and a memorable performance by Julie Brown, making it an event to remember. This activation didn’t just build brand love for Stoli; it showcased how the power of experiential marketing can create safe, welcoming spaces where people can rewrite their own stories. Testimonials from some of the biggest influencers in Chicago's LGBTQ scene showed that the prom struck a chord. Not only did it drive sales for Stoli, but it also fostered a strong sense of community. When done right, experiential marketing can truly drive social change. When brands stand for something bigger and act on it, they become part of a movement, helping to move humanity forward. Looking back, it’s clear that this wasn't just about creating a campaign for Stoli; it was about addressing social issues, breaking down barriers, and building stronger communities—all while having a blast along the way. Hey Stoli? Group, we want to bring this great platform back. Are you in? Hilton Towers 93XRT Janine Dettbarn

This past weekend,?All Terrain?was so fortunate to be on the ground with E.L.F. BEAUTY Day One Agency at ?Purdue University,?where Taylor Swift and the Eras tour was, as?Kory Marchisotto?says, "making a pit stop. and e.l.f seized that opportunity to inspire a community and empower the next generation of legendary females". Read Kory's post below (and all her posts, for that matter, as she is THE legendary female to me). We were honored to bring the Lip Oil Change experience back for a 2nd lap and to take part in this important celebration of STEM. Shout out to Gillian Kushner, Klint Briney, Justine Rowland, Heath Kopp, Janine Dettbarn, and the entire team that made this all happen.

Total mayhem at?Westfield Old Orchard?the other night! Watching NWA wrestlers throw down with?Billy Corgan &?David Arquette?right there? This definitely wasn’t on our 2024 bingo card. So much fun. Bodies flying, cocktails flowing, and 90s alt-rock shaking the mall—all while the crowd went wild. Just another example of how we at?@allterrain?know how to create the most unexpected totally wild promotional campaigns that move the needle. Who else would've thought of combining wrestling, a vegan tea shop, and a retro rock soundtrack at a suburban mall? Still can't believe this happened in the suburbs. Proceeds benefited one of our favorite causes,?PAWS Chicago, making it a win for all. - - -?#ExperientialMarketing?#EventMarketing?#eventprofs?#wwe?#wrestlemania?#wrestling?#nwa?#smashingpumpkins?#billycorgan
