The Messi Experience: a landmark in cross-experiential thematics and concepts

(By Maurizio and Ortega) In the city and state of playful themes and attractions, the Messi Experience in Miami showcases the current state of crossing and phygitality of brands, in this impressive, complex, and captivating way of generating cross-experiential actions. The Messi Experience is an interactive multimedia spectacle dedicated to Argentine footballer Lionel Messi. This traveling exhibition combines 360-degree mapping projections, 3D imagery, videos, and artificial intelligence to create an immersive experience about the life and career of the captain of the Argentine National Football Team, world champion in Qatar 2022.

  • The Impressive Crossing and Phygital Experience:

The Messi Experience is a standout example of how brands are using crossing and physicality to create immersive experiences and connect meaningfully with their audience. This exhibition not only celebrates the life and career of Lionel Messi but also marks a milestone in the evolution of marketing and branding towards a more integrated and experiential approach.

  • Miami, the Capital of Thematic Concepts:

The exhibit, titled "The Messi Experience: A Dream Come True," is the result of a collaboration between Moment Factory and Primo Entertainment, an event production company based in Florida.

With an investment of $50 million, the exhibition spans nine interactive zones spread across 1,800 square meters. Each area covers a different period of the footballer's life, from his childhood in Rosario to his crowning as world champion in Qatar in 2022.

Visitors have the opportunity to journey through the idol's path and participate in interactive experiences that recreate significant moments from his career. From his beginnings in the city of Rosario to his success at FC Barcelona and his role as captain of the Argentine National Team, the exhibition offers a deep and immersive look into Messi's life and legacy.

This innovative multimedia experience is just the beginning of a world tour that will take the exhibition to 150 cities on five continents. After its debut in Miami, the exhibition will be presented in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Paris, Rabat, Doha, Beijing, Shanghai, and Sydney, among others. With a focus on interactivity and cutting-edge technology, "The Messi Experience: A Dream Come True" promises to immerse viewers in the world of football and Lionel Messi's extraordinary journey.

  • The Messi Experience, which debuted in Miami, is much more than a simple exhibition about Lionel Messi's life and career. It is a perfect example of how brands are using the concepts of crossing and phygitality to create immersive experiences and connect with their audience in innovative ways.

  • Integration of Advanced Technology: The exhibition uses 360-degree mapping projections, 3D imagery, videos, and artificial intelligence to offer a fully immersive experience. This integration of advanced technology is a clear example of how brands are adopting the concept of "phygitality" to combine the physical and digital in their marketing and branding strategies.

 

  • Interactivity and User Participation: The Messi Experience is not just a static exhibition; it is an interactive experience where visitors can actively participate. From chatting with a Messi avatar to training like him in a specially designed camp, the exhibition encourages user participation and creates a deeper connection with the brand.

  • Multichannel Experience: In addition to the physical experience at the exhibition, the organizers have also created a digital experience for those who cannot attend in person. This extends the reach of the brand and allows more people to engage with the event, demonstrating how brands can use multiple channels to effectively reach their audience.

  • Collaboration and Strategic Partnerships: The Messi Experience is the result of a collaboration between Moment Factory, Primo Entertainment, and other companies involved in the production of the event. This strategic partnership demonstrates how brands can come together to create unique experiences and leverage their respective strengths and resources.

  • Personalization and Relevance: The exhibition is designed to offer a personalized and relevant experience for each visitor. From recreating key moments in Messi's career to the opportunity to take a virtual selfie with the footballer, the exhibition adapts to the preferences and interests of the audience, demonstrating the power of the "phygital" approach to create memorable experiences.
