Why events matter: The power of brand-consumer connection
Events play a pivotal role in both selling products and cultivating lasting relationships between brands and consumers. Events allow brands to get their name and products in front of as many potential customers as possible while allowing people to discover and experience everything brands offer.
Recent statistics show the significant positive impact of event marketing in building brand reputation and gaining consumer loyalty. Research by Zippia found that 60% of business leaders worldwide believe that events are the most critical marketing tactic. Events serve as a unique platform for brands and consumers to connect and engage. Additionally, 85% of marketers surveyed acknowledged that events contribute significantly to increased lead generation and sales.
The same is true in Asia, where the industry is projected to surge to an estimated $567.10 billion by 2026, driven by increased frequency, the emergence of new event formats, social trends, and technology integration. The region is organizing major events to boost its global influence, showcase cultural values, and stimulate business growth. Among the standout cities for hosting these events are Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Manila.
In Thailand alone, the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) and mega-event market is estimated to reach $12.23 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 11.63% from 2021 to 2027, with key stakeholders including corporate organizations, public organizations, and non-governmental organizations. An increase in number of tourists and business activities in Thailand is a key factor expected to fuel market growth in the near future.
The entire event industry will also see a growing emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly practices in event planning— a direction VeroXperience intends to explore and take a leadership role in moving forward.
The new event unit reaffirms Vero’s commitment to innovation, constantly adapting to the shifting demands of the consumer market and cultivating brand-consumer relationships across Southeast Asia.
