Tips4
- DO lean into authenticity: Comic Con audiences are passionate, informed fans—avoid corporate-speak and show you actually care about pop culture and geek community, not just sales.
- DON'T oversell hard: Photo ops, giveaways, and free samples drive engagement faster than pushy promotions. Let fans discover your brand naturally.
- DO plan for UGC (user-generated content): Set up Instagram-worthy moments, hashtag campaigns, and encourage attendees to post. Cosplayers and fans WANT to share.
- DON'T miss the Brussels/European angle: Tailor messaging to Belgian/EU audience (language, pop culture references, local partnerships). Comic Con Brussels is not San Diego.
