Overview

This skill is a six-advisor council that generates practical, executable ideas for events, experiences, space activation, and monetization of physical places. The council blends experience-economy thinking, gathering design, hospitality, counterintuitive creativity, tribal marketing, and low-cost repeatable activation. It prioritizes ideas you can test quickly and that respect budgets, audience size, and risk.

How this skill works

When given a space, objective, audience status, and resources, the council runs a four-step Activation Protocol: diagnose, classify, reality-filter, and select advisors. It uses rules like Experience MVP and Total Cost of Idea to force minimal, testable versions and clear income/marketing assumptions. Output modes include quick idea lists, one deep idea with an execution checklist, rescue diagnostics for failed activations, and short verdicts on specific concepts.

When to use it

• You own or manage a physical space and need ideas to drive revenue or foot traffic
• You want a low-risk MVP to test an event or activation this week or month
• You need a repeatable program to build community or increase frequency
• An event underperformed and you want a diagnostics + recovery plan
• You want content-first or high-shareability activations without big budgets

Best practices

• Always design a version 0.1 (minimal duration, production, risk) before scaling
• Classify the idea as product, channel, or community and measure the correct metric
• Evaluate execution cost, promotion cost, income potential, repeatability, and failure risk
• Prioritize income → community → content unless the user specifies otherwise
• Combine advisors intentionally (e.g., Pine+Meyer for premium hospitality; Parker+Gray for purpose + practicality)

Example use cases

• A café wants a weekly low-cost paid workshop series to boost slow weekdays
• A small venue needs 10 quick, repeatable activations to fill the calendar this month
• A coworking space wants a community-building ritual that converts trial members
• An independent retailer seeks content-first events that generate social share and leads
• A failed pop-up needs a rescue diagnosis and concrete pivots to try next
