Experiential Marketing & Brand Activation Agency

We build experiences people remember and that brands benefit from.

Big ideas. Real crowds. Flawless execution. As New Zealand’s experiential marketing and brand activation agency, we take brands off the screen and into the world. Creating live moments that get people talking, sharing, and coming back for more. We’ve done the unexpected, delivered the impossible, and we’re just getting started.

What Do We Do?
We make it unforgettable.

Some events are attended. Ours are remembered. We design and deliver live brand experiences that get people off their phones and into the moment. Activations, events, pop-ups, touring campaigns, corporate experiences, and everything in between. Conceived with big ideas and delivered with the kind of operational precision that means nothing goes wrong on the day. We’ve built the world’s largest skateboard and toured it for 40 days, got Red Bull to back a race format we invented, and sold out a pop-up restaurant before it even opened. Whether you’re launching something new, rallying your people, or making your brand impossible to ignore, we’re the team that makes it real.

What We Do

We Make It Unforgettable

Some events are attended. Ours are remembered. We craft experiential marketing, brand activations, and event experiences that stay with people – long after the lights go down. Whether you’re launching something new, rallying your people, or making your brand impossible to forget, we’re the team that makes it real.

What We Offer

Experiential Events

Experiential marketing is how brands stop being seen and start being felt. We design and deliver campaigns that create genuine human connections. Immersive, memorable, and built to earn attention in the real world. From live activations to large-scale touring campaigns, we make brands part of people’s stories.

Brand Activations

A great brand activation doesn’t just get noticed, it gets remembered, shared, and talked about. We concept, build, and deliver activations that bring your brand to life in the places your audience actually are, from pop-ups and product launches to immersive installations and experiential stunts.

Corporate Experiences

Beyond the conference room and the standard offsite. Marvel Experiences designs premium corporate experiences for clients, teams, and stakeholders, built around New Zealand’s landscapes, delivered personally, and designed to leave a lasting impression.

Event Management

Live events are unforgiving, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We plan, produce, and deliver events of every scale with the kind of calm, end-to-end operational capability that means your guests only ever see the good stuff.

Logistics & Delivery

The engine room of every great experience. We manage the complex, high-stakes logistics that most agencies quietly avoid, including transport, build, installation, compliance, risk, and nationwide rollouts, so nothing is left to chance.

How We Work

Senior people on every project. No exceptions.

 

Most experiential marketing agencies win the pitch with the senior team, then hand the work to someone junior. We don’t do that. Mike and Scott run every project personally – at the site inspections, in the production meetings, and on the ground on the day.

Discovery

We get under the brief – your brand, your audience, and what success actually looks like for this project. Not what a generic brief says success looks like.

Concept

We develop original ideas with media value, creative ambition, and a clear, realistic path to execution. We don’t pitch ideas we can’t deliver.

Delivery

We build, run, and review – managing every moving part so you can focus on the outcome, not the logistics. Then we debrief honestly.

We’re a small agency with a deliberately short client list.

We work with fewer clients than most agencies our size. That’s intentional. It means every project gets the thinking, time, and attention it deserves –  and it means Mike and Scott are genuinely available to you.

Ideas that earn their own coverage –  We design for shareability, media pick-up, and social buzz –  not just for the room on the night.

Built for your brief, not a template –  No off-the-shelf solutions. Every project is originated for the client, the audience, and the objective.

End-to-end – strategy to debrief –  We handle everything: creative, production, logistics, PR leverage, and post-event evaluation.

60+ years of NZ industry experience  – Between them, Mike and Scott have led some of         New Zealand’s most recognised campaigns and activations.

Brands We Work With

Our Projects

From large-scale experiential marketing campaigns to intimate brand activations, every one of our projects was built from scratch, delivered in full, and left people wanting more.

Have a brief? Have a budget and a blank page? Either works

Tell us what you’re working on, and we’ll tell you honestly whether and how we can help.We’re not going to pitch you something generic just to win the job. Talk to Mike or Scott directly. No intake forms. No account managers. Just the people who’ll run your project.
