EP 167 | The Coolest, Smartest Event Ideas We’ve Seen (and Why They Worked)

Every brand wants the next big experiential idea. But too often, what gets delivered is safe, predictable, and easy to forget.

Audiences are craving creativity. They want experiences that surprise them, move them, make them pause. And behind every “cool idea” that actually worked is a deeper story—why it mattered, how it connected, and what made it resonate long after the lights went down.

But what if you’ve never walked through SXSW or experienced Cannes in person? What if you don’t have easy access to the creative executions that make people stop and pay attention?

This time, Matt Kleinrock is bringing the inspiration straight to you in a live panel featuring Joe Rivers (Manager, Global Experiential Marketing at Dolby) and Eva Phelan (Senior Creative Producer at Heaps + Stacks).

They’re bringing the examples. You’re getting the insights:

✅ The activations that grabbed their attention as consumers, not just marketers

✅ What big brands are doing to capture attention and connect face-to-face

✅ The stories and impact behind the ideas that actually worked

If you’re hungry for creative inspiration and want to know what’s actually working in experiential right now, this is your refresh.
