3D Exhibits’ “EVOLVE” program leveraged an exhibit that evolved on a daily basis to communicate how the company has evolved its approach and solutions to meet the challenges facing corporate marketers. Lighting, video, floor-embedded video, beverages served—and even the frosting color on the sugar cookies served in the exhibit—transformed daily to symbolize 3D Exhibits’ evolution and demonstrate its expertise.

Promotion for the program encompassed email blasts, social media and the interactive exhibit experience. Multiple 3D EVOLVE posts appeared on the company’s blog, YouTube, Vimeo, LinkedIn and Flickr, while attendees participating in a Twitter promotion were rewarded with the chance to win a Starbucks gift card. The most popular aspect of the program was the omnipresent six person E-V-O-L-V-E team. This group walked the convention center as well as the surrounding hotel and lobbies, spelling out evolve (and other words on request) with the oversized letters on the backs of their bright colored t-shirts.

The result of the program was increased awareness of 3D Exhibits among EXHIBITOR attendees that drove people to visit the exhibit multiple times over the course of the three-day show. 3D Exhibits also increased the number of qualified visitors to its exhibit versus the previous year and generated several immediate new business opportunities.

“We are especially proud to win the EDDIE Award because the other entrants are our competitors. Our program demonstrated our expertise in both exhibit design and in leveraging both traditional and social media,” says Gene Faut, president of 3D Exhibits. The Eddie Awards are the premier awards program recognizing exhibit firms, agencies and suppliers for marketing excellence. In addition, the EVOLVE program won a 2010 Sizzle Award from EXHIBITOR Magazine.
