Event Tech Marketing

Marketing for event tech

As an event tech business, you are already at the forefront of your industry, pushing boundaries in creating solutions that make your own clients’ lives easier. When it comes to choosing a marketing agency – you know that it’s vital for whoever you work with to understand the events landscape as a whole, as well as your own specific needs and goals. 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.

The aim of any social media marketing is to ultimately either drive traffic or generate leads. This is achieved through content that educates, informs and engages your audience.

As event tech marketing experts, we are well equipped to assist you at all stages of your social media marketing journey – whether you are looking to build and execute a strategy with ongoing support or require ad-hoc assistance for a specific campaign – Patch has it covered.

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the practice of increasing the visibility of a brand in search engines. In our opinion, a successful SEO strategy puts you in front of your target market, at every stage of the customer journey as they use search engines to look for what you provide. Our objective when employing SEO strategies is to make sure our clients’ websites are found in search engines again and again as their customers are searching for event tech solutions.

We also provide our clients with an interactive marketing performance dashboard. It allows them to analyse the performance of their SEO activity in real-time. It provides all metrics including ranks, traffic, goal conversion, organic search queries, backlinks and much more.

We’re proud of our transparency and performance. It’s why we give the event techs we work with the tools to monitor their marketing activity in real-time.

We all know the power of great content – but it’s easier said than created! At Patch, we’re all about objectives, so our approach to content production depends on what your goals are. Our experienced writers provide a multitude of types of copy and written content – making writer’s block a thing of the past for you!

 

We produce copy that ranges from short-form social media captions to e-mail marketing content, press releases & blogs – so the answer to that really depends on what you’re looking for. If your event tech already has a strategy in place and is looking for some ad-hoc support – we can do that! If you’ve found yourself staring into space with nothing but white noise going through your mind – we can help put an end to that! Our team can take you from planning all the way through to executing your content – we’re a one-stop shop!
