Background

The Big Horn Show is a high-density outdoor and sportsman expo bringing hundreds of vendors and thousands of attendees together each year. Its scale demanded systems that could coordinate exhibitors, activate sponsors, and present a cohesive brand across every event surface, from the web to the show floor.

The Work

04 Phases
01

Vendor Coordination System

Vendor onboarding and coordination built to manage a high-density floor without manual overhead.

02

Sponsor Activation Framework

A sponsor activation and placement framework spanning digital and physical touchpoints.

03

Integrated Marketing

Marketing coordinated across web, email, and on-site so the show speaks with one voice everywhere.

04

Brand & Event Media

A brand identity system for expo environments, plus event media capture and distribution.
