Corporate planners are under more pressure than ever to go green. Not just because it’s the right thing to do but because their executives are asking for it.

ESG compliance is now a standard line item in event planning, and the vendors you choose reflect directly on your company’s sustainability commitments.

Thinking About The Future

Sustainability isn’t a trend anymore. It’s a procurement requirement.

Major corporations are now vetting vendors on their environmental impact before signing contracts. If your activation partner can’t demonstrate low waste, non-toxic materials, and responsible logistics, they’re off the list before the conversation even starts.

The good news: going green at your event doesn’t mean sacrificing the experience. It means choosing vendors who’ve already done the work for you.

Green Vendors For Green Events

One of the most difficult areas is finding an eco-friendly vendor or entertainer that can provide your guests with a truly great experience, while not breaking the bank, or hurting the planet. One of the most eco-friendly green event entertainment options is Airbrush Events.

Just looking to the founders of the company, they take a very minimalist approach in their lifestyle. They know that hoarding material things and wasteful spending are some of the most dangerous mindsets when considering the future of our planet.

They’ve incorporated this minimalist philosophy into the structure of Airbrush Events. Because of this philosophy, you know their business would make a great option for green events.

Party Favors For Green Events Your Guests Will Love

Airbrush Events provides party favors and entertainment that is different from the mass-produced plastic giveaways and messy, wasteful entertainment. Airbrush Events combines the fun of personalization with the direct interaction of the artist creating the item.

Every attendee gets to choose directly what they want. There isn’t a waste of time or material on people who don’t really care for a party favor. Most large events have a lot of waste, due simply to people not wanting what is being offered.

Personalization Creates Memories

A major win is the personalization by the artists. Not only is it less wasteful but it’s so much more fun to have a personalized item as opposed to a mass-produced one.

Speaking of mass-produced, it can be a real headache trying to finalize the right designs for your swag and then having a company print thousands of your chosen giveaway items. T-shirts being the thing that is most chosen.

The problem is the event organizer has to guess the right amounts of various sizes and make sure that each item is quality. Airbrush Events bring their own shirts and let the event-goers customize them however they want. It’s as simple as that.

Being part of the creative process also builds an emotional connection to the event. When you can take something away from an event, that you helped in part to create, you are much more likely to have good memories of the event itself. Learn how this also works for marketing your brand with brand activation.

A Party Favor That Gets The Crowd Talking

Beyond that aspect, Airbrush Events is also great entertainment for your green event. They provide essentially wasteless fun for all the event participants.

Another major benefit is the clothes and hats created by the airbrush artists, make for a great icebreaker. Guests usually want to throw on their new swag right away. Having a custom tee with their name on it is a great way to encourage networking at the event. It’s essentially an awesome name tag.

It also offers the best type of marketing for the event, FREE marketing. People will be asked where they got their rad new shirt and the recipient will tell him all about this fun event he got it at.

Keeping It Low Waste

For planners who need to document vendor sustainability for internal reporting, Airbrush Events now provides a formal ESG Commitment Statement and Sustainability Initiative on request. No chasing paperwork. It’s ready before you even ask.

Airbrush Events is one of the few entertainment vendors in the country that can back up its green claims with documentation. Ready to check us off your sustainability checklist? Book a consultation today.

February 2020 saw us jetting off to Miami’s Super Bowl frenzy, tasked with executing brand activations across the city. Brew ‘N’ Motion, a marketing agency, commissioned us for Bud Light’s project.

Beyond the Gridiron: Quantifying Brand Activations’ Impact

For football fans, the Super Bowl is the pinnacle of excitement. But for event planners and marketing teams, the work begins months prior, extending long after with performance analysis. While measuring brand awareness and customer loyalty seems tricky, brand activations offer a hands-on, memorable approach

If you’re not sure what brand activations are, then check out my blog post on brand activations and why it shouldn’t be overlooked. Essentially, it’s about promoting brand awareness in a hands-on, fun and memorable way. That’s where Airbrush Events comes into play.

A Multi-Branded Miami Adventure

Four Airbrush Events artists tackled three projects for Bud Light, Visa, and Adidas. While Yariel chilled poolside creating temporary tattoos for Visa and Maris enjoyed painting at an Adidas-sponsored school field, Nick and I faced a demanding Bud Light schedule.

Hitting the Road (and Running Late!)

Our Bud Light activation differed from usual events. To promote the brand and build relationships with bars and restaurants, we visited numerous Miami locations daily. Each stop involved setting up, working for an hour, then moving on. We aimed to personalize 15 footballs and 20 helmets per location, leaving one for the bar/restaurant.

Super Bowl traffic threw a wrench in our plans, causing parking delays. Despite this, we ensured each location received its full hour, and thankfully, business owners were understanding.

Personalized Gifts, Delighted Fans

Nick and I split tasks, with him painting helmets and me airbrushing footballs. Each gift featured the Super Bowl or Bud Light logo, personalization, and a Miami-themed design. Brand ambassadors, dressed as cheerleaders, greeted guests, took orders, and hyped the brand while they waited.

The gifts proved immensely popular. Andrea, my fantastic assistant, had to stop taking orders after just 15 minutes at each location, leaving some disappointed guests. However, this highlights the activation’s success – next time, they’ll be sure to arrive early!

Helmets & Paint Pens: A Practical Choice

The non-porous helmets called for paint pens, similar to our Webroot water bottle project. While airbrushing was an option, it required extensive prep work, sanding, painting, and clear coating. Fumes and drying times made paint pens the clear winner.

Mission Accomplished, Despite the Rush

Despite the Super Bowl traffic hurdles, we delivered a successful, albeit hectic, five days. Packing up an hour before kickoff, we headed home exhausted but satisfied with a job well done.

Having a party around the holiday seasons for your employees builds company morale and is a great time to give back to the team that works hard to make the business successful throughout the year.

Most company Christmas party entertainment involves a DJ. Someone that plays music and encourages the crowd to get up and dance.  But what if your staff aren’t the dancing type? What other fun things can you offer at your company party?

Here are 6 unique ways to entertain the party guests.

Hire a dance team

Even though we might not be dancers ourselves, most of us can appreciate professional dancers. Plus sometimes, they inspire us to get on the dance floor and do a one, two step.

Check out this amazing break-dancing dance team from Florida that loves performing at private events.

Get a virtual reality gaming station

We’ve all heard about the new technology of VR but the majority of us haven’t tried it.

Hire a company that will come and set up virtual reality stations and let your staff play games and ride virtual roller coasters. It’s a great way to get people out of their seats and mingling.

Check out Mobile Gaming Events website for more info.

Get a photo booth

Give us what we really want! Opportunities to take amazing selfies that we can share to our social circles. Let the team play with props and fun costumes while getting their pics taken with proper lights and equipment.

Check out this fun idea that the Jonas Brothers did using a photo booth.

Set up a chalkboard word search

An inexpensive way to add an additional dimension to the entertainment is to put a word search on a big chalkboard or white board next to gathering places, like the bar.

It’s fun to have everyone work on it while they’re waiting in line for their drinks.

Use airbrush artists for the company Christmas party
Enterainment

Everyone loves swag, little gifts that they can bring home to remember the event.

When you hire airbrush artists, they will come to your party and personalize tees, hats, drawstring bags or a host of other merchandise for each person.

Guests love the old school vibe of airbrush and it’s pure entertainment to watch the artists painting live.

Airbrush Events artists pride themselves on professionalism and customer service. They can accommodate small intimate events or large-scale corporate events.

Hire caricature artists

Hiring caricature artists is a guaranteed way to get people out of their seats. Everyone will be thrilled to have a traditional or better yet, a digital caricatures of themselves.

With digital caricatures, the full-color caricature is printed on paper that can have the company logo on them. Maybe make it a fun ‘prerequisite’ for everyone to wear theirs to work on a lanyard the next day!

I’ve been working with RichCaricatures for many years and he’s the best out there.

BONUS: A murder mystery dinner

Your party guests will love a little ‘murder’ and intrigue with their dinner.

Jest’s Murder Mystery Dinner Shows will have your guests howling with laughter. Their professional entertainers will pull your guests into the show with lots of fun interaction.

Guests will surely be talking about your event for years to come.
