1. Themed Holiday Pop-Ups 

Imagine a temporary store decorated with lights, carols, and an interactive Santa. Themed pop-ups generate curiosity and foot traffic, allowing consumers to immerse themselves in a complete holiday experience. At Penta, we create immersive spaces that include activities like gift customization and exclusive tastings. 

2. Holiday Gamification 

Engage your audience with interactive games. From trivia to virtual treasure hunts, games create an emotional connection with the brand. For instance, we developed an augmented reality experience where users "hunted for gifts" at strategic points. 

3. Instagrammable Photo Experiences 

A well-designed holiday set not only attracts attention but also gets shared online. From a snowy forest to a giant sleigh, photo activations ensure viral success. Penta has designed holiday sets that become the most photographed spot at the event. 

4. Integrated Social Responsibility 

Organize an activation that makes a positive impact. For example, in-kind donations or community activities. One of our activations allowed attendees to create holiday kits for children in vulnerable situations. 

5. Digital Activations with Surprises 

Technology is key. We designed an interactive digital calendar where consumers discovered discounts, gifts, or exclusive experiences every day.
