10/10 would recommend! Great experience working with Erica and the EMRG Media team to ensure we had a seamless holiday party for about 900 people. Erica was available to help with every step along the way and help bring to our attention additional ideas, needs and considerations to help make our party a huge success! Her team went above and beyond on the day of to ensure all of the final touches were handled and it allowed for our internal planning team to be able to sit back and enjoy the party. Great at communicating and sourcing vendors at a great rate due to their connections within the industry. Looking forward to working with EMRG Media again in the future!

We’ve worked directly with EMRG Media for the last two years for our Annual Volunteer Recognition Ceremony. From start to finish the EMRG team is patient, flexible and gives top tier service ensuring that our event was a success and created a welcoming environment for our community. The Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City team is looking forward to hosting many more events with EMRG Media.

Our theme, “A Night of Iconic New York,” celebrated the city’s landmarks, symbols, food, culture, and sounds, and the EMRG Media team  transformed Terminal 5 into a stunning representation of the Big Apple. Each floor transported attendees to a different iconic neighborhood, from Little Italy and Chinatown to Times Square and Bryant Park. Employees were fully immersed in the experience, feeling as though they were traveling through the city’s vibrant boroughs.

Thank you to the  EMRG team for your creativity, attention to detail, flexibility, and seamless execution. You took the time to truly understand the vision and made the 2-day NYC event unforgettable with your magical touches throughout. I would not hesitate to partner with EMRG again for future events.

Incredible experience working with Erica and EMRG Media. She coordinated for us a 200 person event with less than two weeks’ time, and was able to accommodate everything we needed. The entire event went smoothly, and was better than we could have ever imagined.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Average dwell time is the number that matters, and a well-built experiential installation holds a visitor 8 to 15 minutes. Under 3 minutes and the space is a photo backdrop rather than an experience. Past about 20 minutes throughput collapses and a line forms outside, which costs more visitors than the depth gains. Design to a target dwell time first, then build the content to fill it.

EMRG Media designs and fabricates pop-ups, immersive rooms, and interactive installations, developing the concept and renders in-house, then handling the build, the technology, and the staffing so the experience works on the floor rather than only on paper.

Throughput is dwell time divided into capacity. A room holding 20 people at a 10-minute dwell moves about 120 visitors an hour at full efficiency, and realistically 80 to 100 once entry and exit friction is counted. Over an 8-hour day that is roughly 700 visitors. Any promised reach number that ignores this math is guesswork, and it is the first calculation to run before a footprint is signed.

Yes. EMRG Media develops the story, renders the space, and shapes each moment before fabrication begins, then builds the installation to those drawings with its own production team.

Give the visitor something to do, choose, create, discover, or take away. Beautiful scenery can make an experience photograph well, but interaction is what gives people a reason to stay and participate. A useful creative test is simple: if someone could get essentially the same experience from seeing a photo of the room, the concept probably needs another layer.

Yes. EMRG Media hires, trains, and manages hosts, guides, and performers who represent the brand on the floor, each briefed on the message and the visitor journey before doors open.

Experiential wraps a visitor in a world and is measured in memory: dwell time, recall, and content generated. An activation drives a specific action and is measured in conversion: samples, sign-ups, or sales. The same physical build can serve either, but the goal has to be chosen before design, because the layout that maximizes dwell time is not the layout that maximizes throughput to a conversion point.
