The Insider Band lets Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival attendees stay connected, save
memories, and even win prizes, all with the tap of the wrist. Only AVAILABLE TO 10,000 OF THE
FESTIVAL’S 75,000-A-DAY AUDIENCE, the insider band is the future of concerts.

Uniquely connected to each attendee and their Facebook profile, the insider bands allows festival-
goers to tap specially marked towers around the festival to take and UPLOAD PHOTOS, SAVE MEMORIES
LIKE MUSIC SET LISTS, AND REMEMBER breweries and wineries they tried from Outside Lands’s
famous Beer and Wine Lands. Most importantly, users can check in at different stages and
landmarks, see where their friends are checked in, and SEND MESSAGES to their network.
!
When it’s all over, users can relive their favorite moments by accessing an online memory bank full
of photos, music, and cool stuff they did during their epic weekend at Outside Lands.

25. With over 60 brands pouring nearly 40,000 cocktails throughout The New York Public Library’s 4
floors, there’s a lot to keep track of at the Manhattan Cocktail Classic opening night Gala.
!
So the Classic tapped ClearHart Digital for a way to do just that, which they delivered in the form of
Near Field Communications (NFC). Equipping over 3000 of NYC's most distinguished with an
NFC-enabled bracelet, each attendee now had the ability to TRACK EVERY DRINK THEY TRIED. After
registering, an attendee could simply tap their bracelet on the NFC reader atop each speciality
cocktail bar, storing that drink recipe in their Digital Goodie Bag. The following Monday (when
headaches had subsided), Tasting Table sent each registrant a PERSONALIZED EMAIL WITH THEIR
TRACKED RECIPES.
!
To maximize drinks –not phones– in hands, attendees could also LINK THEIR FACEBOOK AND
TWITTER accounts to their unique bracelets. Not to broadcast imbibing, of course, but to instantly
upload pictures from photo booths; auto-check-in on Facebook Places; even Tweet Flavorpill-
curated booze-inspired quotes by famous authors – all with a simple tap of the wrist on specially
marked readers.

“It really kicks up what we’re able to do from a brand
point of view. When you look at this event from a
business side, setting aside the glamour of the cocktails
for a moment, it’s just a really smart, really intelligent
way to really amp up the return on investment,
quite simply, that we get as a brand.”
