Friendly Vengeance is an experiential marketing agency that specializes in creating unique, interactive moments in the live event / physical exhibit setting. We operate with the mindset of "Play + Purpose".
Traditional marketing is about telling stories to an audience. Experiential marketing invites an audience to be a part of the story. Through tailored, interactive experiences, meaningful connections can be made between people and brands. Memorable interactions create brand champions.
Some Things We Like To Do: - Brand Strategy + Design - Scripting + Messaging - Creative Direction - Art Direction - UX / UI Design - Mobile App Development for iOS and Android - Web App Development - Campaign Creation - Creative Problem Solving
Mission: We work with brands and organizations, whose values align with our own, to create memorable experiences that spark curiosity, encourage action and engage audiences.
Today marks the six year anniversary of Friendly Vengeance's first official team meeting! While we aren't able to celebrate in person, we're looking forward to what the next trip around the sun will bring.
And yes, we were fully aware of the date six years ago. đ
