All Eyes on Your Brand

Flood high-traffic events with a coordinated fleet of wrapped vehicles. From concerts to conferences, SWARMs create a brand takeover effect that’s impossible to ignore.
A SWARM is a coordinated activation where multiple branded vehicles converge around a specific event or location. Instead of relying on chance exposure, SWARMs place your brand directly in front of thousands of attendees at the exact moment when attention is highest. Whether circling an arena before a game, lining routes near a festival, or surrounding a convention center, SWARMs amplify visibility and create a memorable presence.

FAQ

YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, WE HAVE ANSWERS

How long does a SWARM last?

Our SWARM events run anywhere from one hour to multiple days! We can build custom SWARM durations to meet your desired impact. 

How do I know my SWARM happened?

Wrapped provides sophisticated heatmap reporting that allows you to see exactly where the vehicles drove and how long they were there!

What events work best for a SWARM?

Generally speaking, large events work best (because more people will see your ad!). That being said, we always recommend aligning the event with your target consumer. 

Are the vehicles moving or parked?

The short answer... both! In practice, vehicles convoy around a predetermined route, as well as park along that route if they see fit. 

Is there a limit on the number of vehicles we can bring to a SWARM?

We suggest capping the number of vehicles to around 20! 

Can we have brand ambassadors present?

For sure! We just need to confirm local bylaws/permits if you would like to offer product sampling.
