which was honored in the Live Event Category. Judges praised the exhibit for its interactive and personalized visitor experience, calling the program “effective and innovative” and citing its “impressive metrics.”
Live Marketing created an animated “Tunnel Experience” that gave all booth visitors a high-level overview of CenturyLink’s products. Attendees then learned more via CenturyLink’s theater presentation and interactive demos. The new program more than doubled CenturyLink’s leads in one year, and dramatically increased face-to-face interaction with one-third of booth visitors spending 20-60 minutes in the exhibit. Exit surveys indicated that 9 out of 10 visitors rated the time they spent in the exhibit as valuable or very valuable.
Anne Trompeter, Principal and Executive Creative Strategist at Live Marketing, credits Bill Hurley, CenturyLink Chief Marketing Officer, with raising the bar on attendee engagement. “After hearing from Bill about his interest in creating a unique experience for booth visitors we collaborated with the company’s corporate events team, including Beth Clark, senior marketing manager, and re-invented the entire CenturyLink booth experience to attract more attendees. By incorporating multiple storytelling approaches, we immersed visitors in the CenturyLink brand—at the level of engagement they desired,” says Trompeter. In addition to adopting an interactive approach, CenturyLink transformed its physical presence with an eye-catching, high-tech environment created by 2020 Exhibits.
