DISCOVER THE NEW EVENT MARKETING OPPORTUNITY AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR BUSINESS.
WHY DOES YOUR MARKETING NEED EVENTS?
DIGITAL IS THE FUTURE
DEPTH & BREADTH OF ENGAGEMENT
RAPID INSIGHT INTO BUYERS
If your marketing mix doesn't include meetings or events, you're missing a more complete channel to deliver deep engagement while also reaching large audiences.
What does this mean for the future of events, and how do you utilise them as part of your marketing strategy?
We’re no longer bound to the four walls of the convention hall or the geography of our destination. Thanks to the acceleration of digital technologies, meetings and events can happen anytime and anywhere, paving the way to dominate your marketing budget.
A new mix of in-person, virtual, and hybrid events can be leveraged, allowing your marketing organization to reach depth and breadth of engagement under a single marketing channel.
The rise of virtual and hybrid events has led to opportunities for audience expansion, increased points of data capture, amplified digital engagement, and integrated lead scoring opportunities.
Events build a greater picture of interest in a fraction of the amount of time it takes to capture the same insight across other channels or tactics.
BREAK DOWN SILOED THINKING
Strategy, teams, and technology were fragmented in our pre-pandemic world which was dominated by in-person events. According to a Forrester survey, 66% of event managers planned events independent of marketing campaigns. (Forrester, 2021)
The New Event Marketing Opportunity offers a path towards better alignment.
Without a shared purpose there is no reason to collaborate, no glue to keep people working together, no alignment to be achieved. Success begins with a shared goal.
CREATE AN EXPERIENCE
In this new era of digital disruption, event types and event formats have exploded. To achieve measurable outcomes, it is critical to align the event type with the event format — along with the teams, strategy, and tech that facilitate them — through a programmatic event channel.
EVENT TYPE
An event type is a category of event created to serve and objective.
Meetings, seminars, trainings, forums, summits, conferences, and trade shows are all examples of event types.
EVENT FORMAT
An event format is how your event type is delivered to meet the objective.
In the new event landscape, choose from virtual, in-person, or hybrid event formats to serve any event type.
EXPERIENCE
IT STARTS WITH A GOAL
The new digital landscape provides an overwhelming amount of opportunity. Transform your event planning into an event marketing channel that expands your marketing mix to drive results and achieve goals.
