Our multi-channel event marketing campaigns include

Strategy & planning

Before starting a campaign, we work with clients to identify key success factors, establish commercial targets, and create robust growth strategies and plans to achieve objectives. We’ll engage your producers, salespeople, and marketers to create a winning messaging strategy that resonates.

Database optimisation

Ensuring there are enough of the right contacts on your marketing database is essential. We will conduct a gap analysis, manage database cleaning and growth projects, and leverage tagging and segmentation for targeted comms. We also help our clients apply best practices to protect their domain reputation.

Email marketing

When planned, managed, and deployed well, email is still one of the most effective channels to market an event. We work within our clients’ systems to deploy engaging and impactful campaigns - ensuring the right messages are sent to the right people at the right time.

Social & advocacy

We’ll craft and schedule engaging social posts that create awareness, educate and engage your event audience. We will also help you activate advocacy tools, case studies, and testimonials to make social proof a core and effective part of your marcomms strategy.

Performance dashboards

We make sure everything we do is fully tracked and visible in beautifully designed Google Looker Studio marketing performance dashboards with comparable benchmarks - so that we can make good evidence-based marketing decisions together.

Paid search

We deploy well-researched and finely-tuned search ads to beat the competition and capture demand throughout the funnel. This builds awareness in potential customers searching for an event like yours, and converts those already interested into leads and sales.

Paid social

We’ll attract, engage, and convert your audience with powerful paid social campaigns. We thoroughly test to find the best campaigns, content, and messages that resonate the most with your target audience.

Display ads

We’ll increase reach and awareness to help you find new customers, and re-engage past customers using expertly crafted display campaigns across various networks. These will keep your event top of mind!

Website optimisation

Regardless of which platforms you use, our team will update, optimise, and manage your event website, lead generation forms and e-commerce setup to create a seamless buyer journey that informs, educates, and converts.

Content marketing

We work with editorial and content teams to create campaigns around key pieces of content that engage audiences and generate leads. Using content, we will optimise the full customer journey from awareness through to conversion.

Sales enablement

Whether you have an in-house sales team or outsource your sales, we work closely with salespeople to facilitate better alignment between sales and marketing to ensure consistent messaging and ongoing customer feedback across marketing and sales.

Direct mail

Direct mail campaigns can be an effective way to break through the digital noise and reach your audience in a more personalised way. We work with designers, printers, and mailing houses to manage the whole process for you - ensuring a creative use of direct mail can give your event a boost.
