ADVERTISER PLAYBOOKS / EVENT TAKEOVER

Be the brand people see
on the way in.

Concerts, games, conventions and festivals pull a city’s attention to one place for a few days. Wrapped cars that swarm the venue at the right hours, and screens that put your ad first around entertainment, make your brand part of the scene around it.

Goal: Own the streets around an eventRuns 2–4 months
THE PLAY

How it runs.

01

Put the date on the board

Vugo® Planning shows your flights next to the market’s moments, and flags a moment where you have wrapped cars on the road but no swarm yet.

02

Wrap the cars early

Book wraps for two months or more around the event, so the cars are installed and on the road before the city fills up.

03

Swarm the venue

Schedule swarms around the venue, or along the route from the hotels or the airport, for doors-open and the exit. Wrapped drivers are paid to bring their cars into the zone, and the coverage map shows them there.

04

Add screens where they run

Your video and QR code play in a continuous loop while the screen is on the road; TripIntent® and time of day put your ad first around entertainment and in the evenings.

05

Leave the event’s marks out

Talk about the city, the week and the crowd, not the event’s name or logo, unless you hold the rights. Every ad is reviewed against Vugo’s Content Guidelines.

TIMELINE

Runs 2–4 months.

  • Before launch: Map the venue, hotels and routes; recruit drivers and install the wraps.
  • Month 1: Wraps on the road across the city; screens live where they run.
  • Event week: Swarms at the venue for doors-open and the exit.
  • After: Compare scans, visits and searches with the weeks before.
HOW TO JUDGE IT
  • QR scans and validated plays on screens around event week
  • With screens, visits counted to your own location: cars that passed nearby or were headed there
  • The coverage map for each swarm
  • Searches and site visits from the host city, in your own analytics

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you run it.

Can we run on event day only?

Swarms are scheduled windows on a wrap campaign. The wraps run for the whole flight, two months or more, and you choose the swarm windows inside it, such as event day.

Can we run it in our city?

Wraps and Tiles are recruited for each campaign, so most U.S. metros are possible. Screens run where drivers and fleets already carry them. Share your market and dates and Vugo confirms what’s available.

How is it priced?

Screens are priced per thousand validated impressions; wraps and Tiles per car for the flight. Every campaign is quoted for its format, market, and dates.
