Keep learning about how our experiential marketing agency can help you stand out in Los Angeles, one of the most optimal cities for a brand activation.

Why We Love Los Angeles

Sprawling over an impressive 500 square miles, Los Angeles is a city home to as many as 4 million people. From a marketing perspective, this fact alone makes it a city worth targeting. When you’re trying to bring brand awareness, why not capitalize on a demographic as sizable and diverse as Los Angeles’s?

But it’s not just its landscape, diversity, or size that makes Los Angeles the perfect destination for an experiential marketing campaign. LA is also known for being the entertainment capital of the world, a city where the culture– from critically acclaimed actors, idolized musicians, and cutting-edge fashion designers– is all about innovating, creating, and pushing boundaries.

So if LA plays a hand in shaping our entire zeitgeist, what better way to drive brand growth than getting your name noticed right on the streets of this dynamic city? From our experience partnering with brands across all industries, we know better than anyone that once you’ve gained recognition in Los Angeles, your company is set up for true, long-lasting success.

Full of energy, nightlife, and stunning beaches, Los Angeles offers endless reasons to be the destination for your picture-perfect brand activation.

Our Work

Salem Ilese

Pop-singer and songwriter Salem Elise released the (L)onely Child EP, with the desire to drive buzz around the project— but she wondered, how? In the past, musicians have used things like billboards and radio appearances, but Gen Z is all about doing things differently. So, 22 year-old Salem Elise and her team decided to partner with Food Truck Promotions. We were able to bring creative details from her (l)onely child music video to life with a branded food truck experience on Venice Beach. Guests were able to pre-order her EP, meet the star in person, and bring home delicious, complimentary cereal!

Malin + Goetz

Malin + Goetz was looking to bring New York’s bodega culture cross-country, all the way to Los Angeles. They pulled it off by partnering with us and creating a deluxe food cart service that offered two quintessential New York favorites: soft pretzels and coffee. After only two days, this part of the brand’s global campaign culminated in roughly a thousand new Tik Tok and Instagram followers, and more importantly, Californians were left feeling like true New Yorkers.

Instagram

Instagram left it to us to envision and execute what is known as ‘Reels on Wheels,’ a mobile marketing experience that spread the word about Instagram’s new ‘reels’ feature. To kick off the two-day experiential marketing campaign, Food Truck Promotions organized a content creator party, driving a branded food truck to different influencers’ houses around Los Angeles with ‘Happy Ice’ Italian ice in branded cups and bucket hats perfect for photo ops— or, better yet, Instagram reels! The following day, the food truck made its way to the Melrose Trading Post to give out free ‘Happy Ice’ Italian ice and Instagram merch to people who tagged @instagramcreators in their stories.

Building Your Marketing Strategy

Because LA is so action-packed, your brand needs to have its finger on the pulse of the city to know what your target audience wants and how to give it to them.

To accomplish this, our experiential marketing agency uses technology that tracks important consumer trends, and after gathering insights, develops a corresponding marketing strategy.

From data-analysis to creative design, we do everything we can to get consumers excited about your product or service, increase brand awareness, generate leads, and build brand loyalty in Los Angeles.

Whether it’s a product launch, city-wide mobile tour, or trade show pop up, you need to make key considerations when planning your experiential marketing plan:

High vs. low foot traffic areas.

LA is not necessarily a city known for walking. Consider activating in pedestrian-friendly areas with restaurants, shops, and museums clustered together like downtown or Central Hollywood.

Reputation For Innovation and Forward-Thinking

With customer preferences changing constantly, success in event production relies on relevance and creativity, both of which you can show off when you put on an experiential marketing campaign different from what brands usually produce.

LA’s Multicultural Workforce

From local shops to up-and-coming startups to large corporations, LA comprises a diverse range of successful companies. Building a marketing strategy that is relevant to all audiences is critical to an engaging and impactful experience.
