What Our Glass Box Marketing Trucks Can Do To Elevate Brands

Our glass box trucks are the ideal blank slate for comprehensive storytelling, letting you show off your brand in urban settings as well as at trade shows, festivals and more. For example, a beauty brand preparing to unveil a new product line can create excitement and buzz in a roving pop-up salon complete with makeup artists and skincare professionals doing consultations and demonstrations. The moment this mobile salon sets up shop in a high foot traffic shopping district, it immediately captures curiosity from anyone passing by it. The brand can capitalize on that engagement as people step inside and try out the new line for themselves.

Client Showcase

Showtime — SMILF

For Showtime’s new series, “SMILF,” we built an immersive experience where guests could get relationship advice, take selfies in a photo booth, and enjoy a host of sweet and savory treats. Our brand ambassador team was there to help build excitement for the show and sign visitors up for Showtime app subscriptions.

Wacoal — Breast Cancer Awareness

To support Wacoal’s philanthropic work with the Susan G Komen Foundation, we helped build a glass-walled truck and accompanying tent in a busy shopping area of SoHo, NYC, where guests could receive proper bra fittings from expert consultants and win Wacoal-branded swag. Every woman who participated meant Wacoal made a donation that went directly to breast cancer awareness efforts.

Award-Winning “Thoughts of a Colored Man” — Audience Engagement

Sweeter designed and built a barbershop on wheels to promote Broadway’s first all-Black production, “Thoughts of a Colored Man” and for our efforts we won a prestigious, Gold Cleo Award in Experiential.  For two days, the glass truck drove through inner-city neighborhoods in Brooklyn and the Bronx, providing free haircuts and the chance to meet and greet the show’s cast and producers. Taking a step further, we brought in a “Bar-Ber-Cue” food truck to provide feel-good food to the guests. By re-creating one of the community’s most important social hubs, we helped bring Broadway to inner city youth and anyone who may not normally be familiar with Broadway.

How does Sweeter measure visibility and audience reach during an activation?
Success looks different for every client, and we get that. While every activation is about brand awareness, some clients want to capture content for social media and PR, others are looking for social equity and user-generated content (UGC), and others are interested in tracking engagement through QR code scans. We can integrate any of those as well as taking it a step further. For example, our street team can engage with people through old-fashioned questionnaires and on-camera interviews. Through techniques like heat mapping, onsite lead capture tools, and even estimating daily average pedestrian foot traffic, we give our clients the insights they need to measure success.
