It’s been a few months (plus an eternity) since we’ve been stuck at home in some form or another due to COVID-19. These days, aside from gardening in the frigid cold (is that why my lavender isn’t growing?) to recycling so many beer bottles the buddy who hauls away the stuff asks if I’m okay, […]

How are your plans for the Holidays shaping up? No, I haven’t bothered making any, either. Given the circumstances in the world at large, it doesn’t seem likely I’ll be re-introducing the kids to their Grandma (“My goodness, haven’t they grown.”) or opening presents with the extended family on Christmas morning, except via the medium […]
In case you hadn’t been tipped off by the enormous caption on our homepage, here at DesignScene our mission is nothing less than Total Brand Immersion. To us, that means delivering experiences that truly immerse an audience in the client’s brand, voice and message. Not just spectacle for the sake of it, but spectacle with […]
We’re big fans of live music at DesignScene. (Who isn’t?) Our staff includes ex-music industry folk, our founder started his career lighting gigs and nightclubs, and there’s even an ex-music journo among us. So the absence of festivals and gigs this summer has been keenly felt. What else would you expect from an experiential marketing […]
First Artists to be Announced…
The countdown’s begun to the DesignScene Digital Showcase. The well-known adage in creative agencies is: Show, Don’t Tell. Don’t talk about a product benefit. Show it to the audience. And make it entertaining. It’s why live events and experiential marketing are both such powerful tools. They’re the perfect way to show what a new product, […]
Offline event… that’s an oxymoron, right? We’re creatures of digital habits, taught to coax content out of the most mundane of moments. Morning coffee runs, captured reminiscent of a Bon Appetit article, casual hangs finessed to feel like a soiree filled with A-list celebs. We’re unspoken pros at procuring our digital ‘brands’, even if inadvertently. […]
thanks to digital, everyone’s invited “We made our own entertainment in my day.” That’s what my northern grandparents told me, without adding too much detail about what that ‘entertainment’ consisted of. I have a feeling it’s what we’ll tell our grandchildren too as they fly around the house on their hover boards wearing the virtual […]
What live events will look like post-coronavirus. The cliché at DesignScene is that I mention Red Bull once a day. This is not true – sometimes, it’s far more often than that. This isn’t because I’m addicted to energy drinks (although I’m often exhausted enough to need one) but because I had a ten year […]
What’s next in the digital revolution? In recent months, our entire industry has been turned upside down by the coronavirus pandemic. It has drastically changed how the trillion dollar business events sector operates. Massive events like Mobile World Conference, SXSW and Cannes Lions along with hundreds of others have either cancelled or had to improvise […]
