Abstract(s)
Perante um mercado cada vez mais competitivo e global, onde os canais de comunicação estão massificados e os consumidores partilham entre si informações sobre as marcas de forma rápida e sem qualquer tipo de controlo, os marketeers sentiram a necessidade de reinventar as suas estratégias de comunicação, centrando as suas atenções na vertente emocional do consumidor. É com o intuito de comunicar de forma diferente e ativa com os consumidores que surge o conceito de experiential marketing, do qual faz parte a estratégia de event-marketing.
Através da análise de três estudos de caso, constituídos por marcas líderes de mercado e com forte presença em eventos experienciais, esta dissertação pretende realizar um estudo exploratório, cujo objetivo é o de compreender o modo como os eventos são encarados pelas marcas, analisando os principais fatores motivacionais existentes para a aposta nesta estratégia como ferramenta de comunicação.
Este estudo confirmou a importância dos eventos experienciais como parte da estratégia comunicacional global das marcas estudadas. Verificou-se que, nos casos analisados, os eventos são parte de uma estratégia global de marketing experiencial adotada, na última década, pelas marcas, e representam uma parte significativa do seu budget de marketing. Estes eventos têm um carácter anual e, na maioria dos casos, já contam com inúmeras edições, o que evidenciando um investimento a longo-prazo por parte das marcas.
A sua principal motivação para a aposta nesta estratégia foi o reforço do seu posicionamento. Neste caso específico, o objetivo foi, sobretudo, a aproximação do segmento jovem, criando relações emocionais com os consumidores através de memórias perduráveis.
Revelou-se, também, nesta investigação, a existência de um sistema de avaliação dos eventos estudados, o que indicia a sistematização da estratégia e o seu reconhecimento como ferramenta de comunicação de marcas. A avaliação dos
