Using Haute’s Rules to Engagement to Foster Belonging 

 | Jordan Valdez

In the spring of this year, Google embarked on a remarkable journey to create more inclusive live event spaces, aiming to spread the magic to public spaces as well. At the forefront of this transformative endeavor was Haute, an esteemed design partner and producer of the inaugural Google Xi Days—a three-day event like no other. 

Allow me to shed some light on what made Google turn to Haute for this extraordinary partnership. It wasn’t solely our design prowess but our shared passion for crafting spaces that evoke emotions, nurture a profound sense of belonging, and connect people on a deeply human level. 

The Power of Emotion in B2B Marketing 

Is there a place for emotions in the world of B2B marketing? At Haute, we firmly believe in the profound impact of emotions within shared experiences. We’ve coined this concept as Return on Emotion™, or ROE for short. Think of it as your treasure map to meaningful connections and unforgettable brand experiences. To guide us on this journey, we’ve formulated “Rules to Engagement,” our North Star that guides every project we create for our clients. 

Unveiling the Rules to Engagement 

Recently, Megan Henshall, Strategic Solutions Lead, Event Solutions at Google, joined us in our Austin, Texas studio to dissect how our Rules to Engagement played a pivotal role in shaping the three-day program for Google Xi Days. Before you dive into the video, let’s take a moment to explore each of these five guiding principles. 

  1. Forget Formulas Never settle for the mundane; craft unique, tailor-made experiences that align with your unique challenges. 
  1. Entertainment as Education Blend fun and excitement with your content to create memorable and engaging experiences.
