Our strategists spotted all the trends and translated them into actionable insights for marketers in every industry.

At CES 2026, Czarnowski Collective partnered with some of the world’s most forward-thinking brands to help ensure their ideas didn’t just land, but resonated. From agriculture to consumer tech to AI-driven ecosystems, our work this year focused on one thing: turning complex futures into experiences people could immediately understand, explore, and remember. Here’s a closer look at three Czarnowski-produced exhibits that helped shape the show floor.

In a world that thrives on immediacy, brands are learning that “temporary” doesn’t mean “less than.” It means agile. It means responsive. It means alive.  From global trade shows to one-night pop-ups, temporary architecture is becoming the design language of modern brand engagement. These aren’t just short-term structures—they’re immersive environments engineered to create long-term impressions. 

Over the past decade, we’ve watched a quiet but seismic shift in how consumers engage with automotive and tech brands. The classic showroom—with its polished floors, neatly lined vehicles or devices, and salespeople waiting to talk specs—is under pressure. Disruption is not coming from competitors alone; it’s coming from expectations. 

In the world of event marketing, there’s an unspoken competition on the show floor: who can build the biggest, tallest, flashiest structure? But here’s the thing—audiences don’t actually care.

Audiences no longer want to just attend—they want to feel. They expect events to mean something, to connect with them on a personal level, to create a spark that stays lit long after the venue empties. And for brands, this isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s a growth opportunity. 

Animation isn’t just about making things move—it’s about making people feel. Colors, camera moves, timing… it all works together to grab your audience, even if it’s only for a few seconds. The best animations don't depend on being technically impressive—they’re emotionally effective and they tell a story.

Turns out the future of architecture doesn’t weigh much—but it carries a lot. Spoiler: the future of experiential architecture doesn’t look heavy.

In today’s event landscape, it’s not about being the loudest brand in the room—it’s about being the most intentional —experiential zones are quietly rewriting the playbook for modern brand experiences.

Whether it’s a demo, a drink, or a VR headset—experiences attract people. And people drive conversions.

Here's a hot take from us to you: the future of experiential isn't bigger, longer, louder. It's faster. Smarter. Sharper. The future of experiential is about doing less - brilliantly.
