Featured Experiential Projects

Echoes

The experience used sculptural form, reflection, motion-responsive audio, and light to create a portal-like environment that festival-goers could walk through, react to, and share.

    Highlights:
    60,000+ walk-throughs
    Audio + motion-responsive immersive environment

Planning a Brand Activation or an Experiential Event in Salt Lake City?

Let’s Build an Experience

  • An experiential marketing agency designs and produces live brand experiences that create emotional connection and real-world engagement. This includes brand activations, pop-ups, product launches, wellness events, and immersive experiences that audiences remember, share, and associate with your brand long after the event ends.

  • Barnastics produces experiential brand activations, including pop-ups, product launches, wellness events, influencer and media experiences, corporate activations, and immersive brand moments. Each experience is custom-built around your brand goals, audience, and the market you’re activating in.

  • Absolutely. Many of the brands we work with activate nationally or regionally. Barnastics regularly produces events for out-of-market brands, managing everything from planning and logistics to local execution and production oversight.

  • We work across lifestyle-driven industries, including wellness, beauty, fashion, food & beverage, spirits, technology, and consumer brands. Our approach is especially effective for brands that value storytelling, in-person connection, and culturally relevant experiences.

  • Yes. While our strategic framework remains consistent, every activation is tailored to the city, venue, audience behavior, and cultural context. We design experiences that feel authentic to the market while staying true to your brand.

  • Barnastics blends creative strategy with executional expertise. We focus on experiences people actually feel—not just see—prioritizing emotional connection, shareability, and seamless production. Our work is designed to resonate both in-person and online.

  • It starts with a conversation. We’ll learn about your goals, audience, timeline, and vision, then recommend an experiential approach aligned with your brand and market. From there, we move into concept development and production planning.
