Experiential marketing activation for Skullcandy's new Crusher ANC

Objective: Showcase Skullcandy’s latest innovation with a highly-experiential marketing activation design for music execs.

Skullcandy’s Crusher ANC wireless headphones change are a game changer for music lovers. Featuring personalised noise cancelling which combines three different technologies for the first time, this revolutionary product deserved an innovative product launch marketing activation.

To drive product engagement and maximise PR, we created the ‘Deeper Dimensions of Sound’ pop-up experience at cult art and multimedia venue 393 NYC. Influencers, media editors and music experts were invited to join Skullcandy’s product designers and experience the new sound innovation for themselves. Following a drinks reception, guests were welcomed into a creative showroom space where the new Crusher ANC was unveiled with a 360 digital brand experience. Continuing downstairs, our experiential marketing activation design featured a set of illuminated sound installations, housing directional ‘sound showers’. These showcased how the adaptive noise cancelling works at home, at work or when travelling - leaving no doubt about the product's capabilities. Creating headlines like 'Sony could have a problem on its hands' from trusted CE sites like Tech Radar.

Making noise: in the heart of NYC, we designed an experiential marketing activation design immersing visitors in a 360-degree product presentation.
Cancelling out distractions: our experiential marketing activation design included a gallery-like showroom with illuminated plinths, elevating the focus on this revolutionary product.
Insider Access: Crusher ANC headphones recalibrate the sound to your unique hearing profile, whilst eliminating background noise. A sound experience, we knew, the media would have to try before they hyped it up.

Our collaborations have been heavily experiential and the focus has been to drive differentiation and consideration.

Reverse engineered: making sure nothing from their IFA exhibition design went to waste, we repurposed the 'sound showers' especially for this experiential marketing activation design.
