Study the real context around the audience: route, rhythm, company, weather, cultural permission, and reasons not to stop.
Output / A field opportunity map that makes place and timing part of the strategy.
Conduct site walks, intercept conversations, and contextual observation.
Map approach lines, dwell opportunities, access, neighborhood impacts, and venue rules.
Identify trusted local voices and existing routines the brand should respect.
Create a participation idea that gives the guest immediate value and gives the brand a credible role.
Output / An approved experience proposition with a storyboarded guest journey and field narrative.
