Hot Trends in Experiential: From Cash Showers to Glitter-Filled Toilets
In a roundup of hot takes and trends within the experiential marketing industry, CM sister pub Event Marketer profiled ibotta’s cash showers, Fabletics’ Fab Daddy mascot and Olivia Rodrigo’s glitter-filled toilets.
“For the next month, Ibotta, which filed for IPO on March 22, is giving consumers a chance to rake in the dough,” writes Event Marketer‘s Kait Shea. “The Walmart-backed cashback rewards app hit NYC last week, and will make its way to Chicago and Denver in April, with interactive ‘Make It Rain’ installations designed to look like fluffy clouds.
