Creative Group, Inc., a leading meeting, event, and incentive agency, has been honored with the Bronze Award for Best Overall B-to-B Environment at the Event Marketer Experience Design & Technology Awards. The prestigious award recognizes outstanding event design and innovative use of event technology in both consumer-targeted and business-to-business event formats.
Raising Cane’s Timeless Horizon Event
The award-winning event, called the Raising Cane’s Timeless Horizon, was organized by Creative Group for Raising Cane’s, a popular American fast-food restaurant chain specializing in fried chicken finger meals. With over 600 stores, Raising Cane’s was looking to create a special experience for its 2,000+ store leaders. Due to the pandemic, the annual conference had been postponed for several years, making it necessary to create an exceptional event that would instill brand pride and reenergize the team.
Creating an Immersive Brand Experience
Creative Group collaborated with Raising Cane’s to design a fully immersive brand experience that would engage and inspire attendees. The event aimed to combine education, fun, and celebration while building advocacy and momentum for future growth. The design-driven solutions provided by Creative Group played a crucial role in adding richer and deeper elements to the event space.
The brand expo environment featured unique elements like four-foot-tall chicken fingers and a 25-foot-tall Raising Cane’s dog inflatable. These eye-catching installations showcased the brand’s identity and added an element of excitement to the event. Inside the 42,000-square-foot general session space, a custom-designed 150-foot-long LED wall with over 300 individual panels ensured that all attendees had a direct sightline to important information.
The entire hotel was transformed into an immersive brand experience, with Raising Cane’s Timeless Horizon branding prominently displayed throughout. The attention to detail and the seamless integration of the brand’s identity at every turn created an unforgettable event atmosphere.
