Amazon's Treasure Truck made stops in Manchester and London last year, offering one carefully selected product at a time. Each offer was a surprise, with only limited stock on the truck. After customers purchased the product through the Amazon app, they then selected a convenient time and place from which to pick up the item from the truck.
Last October, Amazon Prime Video created an activation promoting its series The Tick, staged at New York Comic Con. Visitors could interact with robots, create superhero profiles and unlock further programme content with a Snapchat code that was located inside a food can modelled on a product from the show.

The pop-up event included classes to teach groups about the newly launched Pixel phone.

With pop-ups, full-blown immersive experiences, exhibitions and a lightshow, both brands have fully embraced experiential marketing. While Amazon can woo audiences with the appeal of its TV shows on Amazon Prime, Google's technological innovations are perfectly suited to eye-catching experiental campaigns.
