Why take Do AC on the road?
According to BMF, (who works with major national brands like Polaroid Sunglasses, Smuckers, Sony, HP and Hard Rock Hotels) many brands are turning to experiential marketing to create a buzz about their products and build relationships with their consumers. For example, a program with a target sample of 200,000 individuals can, through word of mouth, ultimately reach 2.5 million people. These findings reveal that roadshows and experiential marketing are a way for brands to forge lifelong relationships.

"'Live From AC' was specifically created to introduce AC to people in a new way, create a social media buzz and represent all 12 casinos in key markets," explained Atlantic City Alliance President Liza Cartmell. "We see the 'Live From AC' roadshow as an opportunity to directly engage our target audience of 'fun seekers,' show them everything that AC has to offer and help them plan – and possibly win – a trip to AC."
