iOn, live marketing

Some things only work live.

For over 20 years, we have created brand experiences across different places and contexts. Understanding each culture, respecting each reality and seeking to leave something positive behind.

Premises

Three things that don’t change.

Solid since 2003, a team that understands every culture and a way of working that seeks to leave something positive wherever it goes.

  1. SolidityMaking brands happen live since 2003.
  2. CultureIn every place, a team that understands the culture before creating.
  3. ImpactRespecting every reality and leaving something positive wherever we go.

Services

Where we come in

Seven services. Your project may need one, several or all of them. Research, planning, creative work, production and analysis are all part of it.

  • Brand experience and hospitality

    Welcoming guests, clients and the press on behalf of a brand, from invitation to farewell, with every detail covered.

  • Product and campaign activations

    Taking the campaign beyond the media plan and bringing it to life on the street, in stores and at events.

  • Stand design and exhibition management

    Design, production and operation of stands at trade shows, conferences and exhibitions.

  • Sports and active lifestyle projects

    Races, circuits, sponsorships and teams. This is where iOn began.

  • Field marketing

    Trained people in stores and on the street, with a clear plan, goals and a final report.

  • Community development and grassroots initiatives

    Local initiatives built with people who already live there, to keep going after the campaign ends.

  • Complex, long term BTL projects

    Contracts spanning years, multiple locations and many people to coordinate. The kind of project we enjoy.

Specialisms

iOn Live

Where the brand comes to life

Live experiences, activations and events. A brand stepping off the screen into a place, a moment and people coming together.

We do not measure the size of the stage. We measure what people did afterwards.

What we have done

Some projects explain what we do better than any presentation.

A selection of experiences, challenges and ideas brought to life for brands across different industries, places and sizes.

Bring us the challenge

A tight deadline, multiple locations, an open scope and plenty of people to align? That is how most of our projects begin.
