For the 11th consecutive year, Inspira has landed on Event Marketer’s Top 100 IT List, proving that we know a thing or two about longevity.

For the 9th consecutive year, Inspira has been named as a 2026 Chief Marketer Agency of the Year, an honor recognizing the most innovative agencies driving meaningful impact across the industry.

Halloween is becoming big business. This year, consumers are expected to spend a record-busting $13.1 billion on products and activities related to the occasion (including $3.9 billion on candy), according to the National Retail Federation’s annual consumer survey. But tapping into the holiday is nothing new for experiential marketers. Halloween has long inspired some of the industry’s most creative campaigns, and 2025 was no exception.

In a recent CMSWire article, “Why CMOs Must Treat Emotional Engagement as a Core Growth Lever,” Inspira CEO Jeff Snyder shares how brands can win hearts (and drive growth) by making people feel something, spotlighting our work on last year's “I Scream for Yasso” campaign as the perfect example.

Last week, Campaign US covered how brands stole the spotlight at the four-day festival, including Inspira's very own immersive experience with So Delicious Dairy Free! 

Chicago was hot. So Delicious was colder. For four days at Lollapalooza, the plant-based brand took over a corner of Grant Park with ‘The Pint of No Return,’ a multi-sensory experience designed to shift long-held perceptions about dairy-free and offer overheated festivalgoers a place to cool off.

Viral moments are easy to chase and even easier to forget. They generate short-term attention but rarely deliver long-term value. In today’s fast-scroll environment, where brand impressions are as fleeting as a thumb swipe, live brand experiences offer a rare opportunity to connect deeply, memorably and meaningfully.
