● THE TAKE
People do — when the brand stops feeling like marketing. Our job is to design the moment, then disappear inside it.
// FOUND-YOU MOMENT
✕ Festival is in 6 weeks and you don't have a footprint locked
✕ Your last “activation” was a tent with a logo and a Bluetooth speaker
✕ The recap deck from the last tour still hasn't landed
✕ Paying four different vendors to run one moment
✕ Brand team's asking what trial conversion was — you don't have it
✕ Permits, build, staff, recap — somehow all on you
✕ The talent buyer wants firm staffing numbers by Friday
✕ Your CMO just asked for a 12-city plan by Monday
Yes — we can help with that.
Festival footprints, immersive installations, pop-ups that line up around the block. We design and operate brand experiences consumers can't scroll past — because they're standing inside them.
>> DIFFERENCE ENGINE
// MOST AGENCIES
// IGNITE
Rent a footprint. Hand out swag. Post a recap deck.

Trust the venue's attendance estimate.
✓ Spark-tracked dwell, samples, leads, and trial→purchase — same day.
Recap deck lands six weeks after the event.
✓ Live dashboard from hour one. Final recap inside ten days.

Experiential marketing agency Festival activations Pop-up activations Brand activations Immersive installations CPG experiential Festival sponsorship Consumer activation Brand experience tour Retail launch event
Ignite is a national experiential marketing agency built for CPG and consumer brands that need trial, recall, and word-of-mouth at the same time. Festival activations, brand activations, pop-up retail, immersive installations, campus tours — designed in-house, built in our 12,000 sq ft shop, staffed by our 257,000-person ambassador roster, measured by Spark.
Most experiential agencies stop at the deck. We start where they finish: routing, permitting, fabrication, staffing, on-site management, GPS-verified dwell, real-time photo capture, and same-day recap. One PO, one platform, every market. That's why brands like Liquid Death, White Claw, and Marc Anthony run national experiential programs with us instead of three different vendors.
If you're scoping a festival sponsorship activation, a consumer pop-up, a brand experience tour, or a retail launch event — we've run it, in every major US market, in every category from frozen food to fine spirits. Brief us once and we'll quote the whole thing.
