Experiential marketing becoming a more important part of marketing campaigns because of better metrics and engagement with customers. Consumer event sponsorship growth driven my new venues accepting sponsorship deals. For example, sports, such as NBA basketball, have begun to allow sponsored messages on uniforms, in addition to some college teams. Live consumer event marketing is growing faster than consumer event sponsorships because it gives brands exclusive access to target consumers, as well as more grassroots events being staged amid the increasingly contentious US political climate, in which brands are backing more unconventional causes.

Global experiential marketing growth outpaced that of the overall advertising & marketing sector and nominal GDP by 1-3 percentage points during the 2014-19 period, as brand marketers shifted investments to media channels that demonstrate the ability to engage target consumers, create emotional connections and increase sales. Experiential marketing posted consistent growth in the period despite strong headwinds that began to negatively impact various digital and traditional media, particularly strong criticisms leveled at digital media  channels related to fake news, ad fraud, ad placements near controversial content, and the growing use of ad blockers.

To avoid these pitfalls, many advertisers have increased their use of branded entertainment, including consumer experiential marketing. And the strong desire to gain brand awareness among target audiences, create positive brand associations and produce sales lift will continue to favor all branded entertainment marketing in the post-pandemic era.
