Company mission
To help brands acquire customers via event and venue partnership at scale.
Our take
In the world of marketing and advertising, companies seek to make broad campaigns across a diverse range of media and methods. Partnerships with events and venues, so-called “experiential marketing”, is an exciting option for many brands, but it can be timely and difficult to find the right partners that align with brand identity and have the right audience. Recess is the leading experiential marketing platform connecting brands to venues and events, simplifying the process for companies to explore this strategy.
Typically, experiential marketing campaigns take time and effort to set up, relying upon phone calls and planning done by spreadsheet but, with Recess, brands can create experiential marketing campaigns online and self-served, vastly simplifying and speeding up the process. The company’s data-driven decision-making and analytics ensure that brands are connected with events correct for their target audience, at venues in the Recess marketplace, where they can employ turnkey sampling and other in-person marketing campaigns to complement their digital advertisements.
Recess has raised substantial funds to further develop its programmatic targeting and analytics offerings, and to expand marketing to secure more clients. The company already serves large know brands such as DoorDash and Red Bull.
