What a brand activation costs in Milan
In Milan, promoters start from €220 a day each for 8 hours, a photographer from €350 and a videographer from €700. Space, setup and permits depend on the location, so we quote them to measure.
Fees and permits are separate lines in the quote; runs of several weeks get their own price.
What changes the price
- The place: store, shopping centre, street or event
- How many days and hours
- Promoters, samples and gadgets
- Setup, screens and electricity
- Photo, video and paid campaigns
After the activation the campaign goes on
When the stand comes down, the work can carry on online. Two services from our marketing team, quoted separately:
Guerrilla, pop ups and sampling your questions
What does brand activation mean?
It is a live action that lets people try the brand: a pop up, a sampling day, an event in a store or on the street. In Milan we design it, handle team and permits, and capture it on photo and video.
What is guerrilla marketing? Any examples?
Unconventional advertising that surprises people in the street on a small budget: a projection on a facade, an installation in a square, a branded cargo bike, promoters handing out samples. In Milan many of these count as temporary advertising and need the City's authorisation.
What is experiential marketing?
It is marketing through experience: instead of watching an ad, people touch, taste and try the product. A stand with a guided trial, a tasting in a store or a launch event are all experiential marketing; brand activation puts it into practice.
What is a pop up store?
A temporary shop, open from a few days to a few weeks, to launch a product, test a market or build curiosity. In Milan it can sit in an empty shop, an arcade or a shopping centre; we handle setup, staff and content.
How do you organise a launch event for a new product?
Start from the goal and the audience, then choose place and dates with the permits in mind: for promotions on public land the City authorises within 30 days of the application. Then setup, staff briefed on the product, photo and video, all in one plan.
How much does a brand activation cost in Milan?
It depends on the place, the days and the people. Promoters start from €220 a day each, a photographer from €350 and a videographer from €700. Space, setup, fees and permits are quoted to measure, line by line, in the written quote.
