Event marketing
Impactful events
Event marketing can make or break an event, be that an exhibition, webinar, private function or conference. Getting noticed, above the noise starts well before the actual event.
Events have the potential to set your company above the rest and cause prospective and existing customers, stakeholders and the press to see your business in a new light. That is why the importance of marketing events well cannot be underestimated.
The benefits of event marketing include:
- Building awareness of your company and/or brand.
- Generating the right kind of sales leads.
- Strengthening existing relationships and building loyalty.
- Raising the profile of specific products or services.
- Upselling products and services to a captive audience.
- Creating new business opportunities.
- Re-enforcing relationships with any partners or sponsors.
Our approach
- Ascertain with the client what success looks like in terms of the event.
- Find the key hooks from the products or services being promoted at the event and present creative themes to support.
- Create a timeline of who is doing what and when, to ensure that our graphics, video and account teams work seamlessly with the client’s marketing team.
- Develop a media communication plan that can include PR as well as ad booking.
- Liaise with exhibition organisers well in advance, to ensure all requirements and deadlines are met.
- Create exciting and visually impactful exhibition graphics.
- Develop enticing call-to-action collateral to encourage the right attendees to register for the event and manage email messaging and social channel promotion if needed.
- Support with content, such as blogs, white papers, guides, gifs for socials etc.
- Liaise with any exhibition press offices to maximise promotion of the client’s attendance through their channels.
- Provide a show presence if needed and post-show follow-up.
