Activation Case Studies
What are Activation Case Studies?
Each of our case studies takes an activation produced by an agency, brand and a rights-holder. We then explain the objectives of the campaign, detail the practical elements of the activation and report the outcomes.
In 2020 we will publish over 200 activation case studies – 24 every month – and we will have 500 total case studies by the end of 2021.

What should I expect in each case study?
Featuring brands and agencies from around the world
