A bad BA is worse than no BA. Avoid becoming a social (media) pariah and treat BAs like you would treat anyone you care about. When they shine, so too will your brand.

GMR’s Three Factor Model assesses how a brand accommodates an individual’s sensory immersion and level of engagement in combination with a brand’s relevance to context at a given event.
FACTOR
The number and intensity of senses engaged within a brand experience, and to what extent they grab your attention.
Examples include which senses and the centrality of the experience (i.e. was this the main attractor or simply one of many touchpoints).
FACTOR
The number of touchpoints a person is encouraged to interact with. This incorporates the duration of each, and the type of content aligned to that touchpoint.
Examples include BA engagement, premium giveaways, access to talent/influencers.
FACTOR
The degree to which the brand and its activation aligns with the event and delivers against the audience’s passions and interests.
This accounts for brand fit at the event, the activation components and audience expectations.
We believe that our memories are like a string of lights, or what we call the String of Lights Effect™ (SOLE Science™). We know that some memories burn brighter than others, which GMR’s Three Factor Model helps us determine when curating the right experience for your brand.
We use the GMR Experience EQ to map human needs.
Based on the environment and the right tactics, we set your brand up for success by creating differentiated and memorable experiences. The magic is in understanding what a person is looking to get out of that experience.
Sometimes these expectations aren’t even clear to them, it’s just a feeling or an anticipation that something great is going to happen. Brands that want to dig a little deeper and get under the skin of people’s needs will ensure their experience delivers for the individual and the business.

Many of the usual suspects like The Coca-Cola Company and American Express appear, along with a handful of unexpected brands such as the U.S. Air Force. Interestingly, some lesser known/challenger brands gave the big guys a run for their money including Idahoan Mashed Potatoes, Vital Proteins and Alaffia.

“Just like the childhood memories we made with family or friends we believe that brands also have a role to play.
Given the right circumstances and carefully selected tactics, a great brand experience can easily become part of our personal repository of memories that we get to ‘revisit’ again and again, while importantly, delivering ROI for brands. You just need to know which levers to pull. And GMR does.”
Tyson Webber, President & CEO
