Creating a marketing strategy that generates repeat demand for your services isn’t always easy – however, fear not! – We have a team of event tech marketing specialists ready to help.
We understand just what it takes to formulate a marketing strategy that engages with your audience, and generates leads. Since 2010, we’ve been instrumental in helping businesses in the events industry achieve their targets.
How do we do that? By utilising the best digital marketing channels, from SEO, paid advertisements (on both social media and search engines), web development, content creation and social media management, we know how to target the right audience; at the right time.
We’ll take time to understand your goals and objectives, be that increased subscription or booking rates, a more diverse client base or nurturing an engaged community on social media.
Event Tech Marketing Services
We’ve designed our services around event techs to provide the activities they need to achieve their targets. Some event techs use all of the services we have on offer – others work with us on an ad-hoc or project-specific basis. We’ll work with you to understand what services will benefit and complement your existing team’s skillset.
After we’ve had a chat and understand your requirements – we’ll send you a proposal that states what we can achieve for you – and how! We’re 100% ‘faff-free’, so you’ll get the jargon-free facts from us – meaning you can make a clear and informed decision about working with us.
Event Tech Marketing Campaigns built on Strategy
With any service or agency, you’ll want to see a positive return on your investment. Our digital marketing initiatives are KPI-focused and data-driven, meaning that we will ensure measurable targets are centred around your bottom line.
We take a 4-pronged approach to strategy building with our clients.
- Assess – your previous strategy, current brief, goals and objectives.
- Plan & Research – your target market, current market conditions and future trends.
- Create – a strategy that meets your needs, to be approved by you.
- Execute – by putting the plan’s ‘wheels’ in motion, including interactive dashboards so you can see our progress every step of the way.
Our Approach to Digital Marketing in Events Tech
Whether you provide hybrid conferencing software, stream live events or deliver AV support to venues; your marketing strategy and plan needs a carefully thought-out approach.
As digital marketing specialists; we will take the time to understand the intricacies of your target audience and establish the best course of action on how to seek them out, and turn them into engaging, revenue-boosting customers.
Monitoring and optimising for best performance
Your target market is influenced by an unlimited number of factors. It means the best approach now, may not be the best approach in the future. Everything from consumer confidence to the publics’ preference to interact with certain challenges, images, colours, or words will impact how consumers engage (or don’t) with different messages, mediums, brands, products, and services.
We provide an online performance dashboard that will bring all marketing performance data into one place alongside your website’s analytics.
The performance dashboard will become the centre of regular meetings with your account manager as it’s used to review performance and share learnings between teams.

E-mail marketing is a great way to reach new audiences, and improve conversions. It also serves as a great way to re-engage your existing client base – keeping your event tech at the forefront of planners’ minds.
Our approach to e-mail marketing doesn’t include any overly eager, annoying sales messaging or ‘spammy’ practices that will end up with your event tech’s e-mails in your client’s junk or unsubscribe list. We study your customer journeys from start to finish and devise an e-mail marketing strategy that keeps your target audience interested in your brand, latest news, offers; and ultimately increases leads and conversions.
Our expert team can create a bespoke plan for you that covers strategy, content, execution and analysis after each campaign. Alternatively, we can help you with a specific part of the process if that’s all you require. Get in touch with us today to find out more.
