Nicky Balestrieri gave a presentation at the Event Innovation Forum on designing experiential marketing with content in mind by thinking like an editor. She discussed how to use market research and storytelling methods to create engaging experiences for guests. She provided the example of Refinery29's fashion week activation, where the objective was to showcase the brand's trendsetting and inclusive attitude, and the design was inspired by the website and editors' point of view. Her presentation emphasized starting with the brand's tone, understanding the audience, and using details, lighting, and characters to tell a compelling story.
