During the event, attendees could access:

• Professional makeup artists who offered free beauty touch-ups

Adriana Kuri, AVP of Marketing at Physicians Formula, told DesignRush that the "Glambulance" experience was created to capture and share Physicians Formula's vision — healthy, sophisticated, and accessible beauty designed for all skin types.

By tapping into event marketing, Physicians Formula created an interactive experience to engage customers.

Unlike traditional advertising methods, experiential marketing strategies like this actively involve customers, enabling them to touch, feel, and experience the brand.

While Physicians Formula leaned into creating a unique consumer experience, e.l.f. Beauty leaned into its core values, inviting others to democratize access to beauty, wealth creation, and wellness by using a popular trend.

e.l.f. Beauty's "Dupe That!" campaign was splashed across 22 LED screens at the marquee E-Panel wall in The World Trade Center retail complex in New York.
