THE FUTURE OF FIELD MARKETING & HYBRID EVENTS

STRATEGIES FOR MAXIMISING ENGAGEMENT FOR PROSPECTS, CUSTOMERS, PARTNERS AND INTERNAL TEAMS

The world has fundamentally changed and despite the demand, desire and even desperation from some quarters to return to live events as we knew them pre-COVID, there is an acceptance that virtual and hybrid are here to stay as part of the event mix for the foreseeable future. During this session, we’ll be sharing examples and case studies of how leading B2B tech companies have delivered successful virtual and hybrid events for a wide range of use cases including executive round tables, customer showcases, partner awards, team building, sales kick-offs, talent acquisition and more.

  • Using Direct Marketing to drive attendance, complement the experience, deliver post-event engagement and crystallize your value proposition
  • Leveraging activations to drive engagement
  • Using “virtual” experience and engagement technology to enhance the live experience
  • Access to talent and how this can drive benefits beyond the quality of content
  • How to make attendees across multiple locations and contexts feel like they’re all enjoying a similar experience
  • Striking a balance between virtual and live interactions to create blended experiences that feel natural while amplifying reach

HOW SIMPLUS USES CONTENT MARKETING TO DRIVE DEMAND ACROSS INDUSTRIES, ACCELERATE THE SALES CYCLE AND DEEPEN RELATIONSHIPS WITH TARGET ACCOUNTS

Two cornerstones of effective content marketing are understanding your audience and then using that knowledge to build relationships with prospects. But that can be tricky when you’re operating in niche B2B spaces like enterprise technology and implementation.

So how did Simplus – a Platinum Salesforce implementation partner and a part of global tech company Infosys – overcome that challenge?

Simplus works with companies to drive enterprise-wide digital transformations, often putting it in direct competition with big consulting players. Starting out, Simplus used content marketing to create demand within unaware industries and compete with these larger firms. But, to drive and expedite conversions, Simplus needed to evolve its content strategy further. And that started with a more granular, intimate understanding of its audiences, one that was mapped across a full customer journey.

In this session, Mahlab CEO Cara McLeod and Danielle Ozolins, Simplus’ Director of Marketing, Business Development and Alliances, will share insights into the content marketing strategy that helps Simplus accelerate its sales cycle and deepen relationships with clients.

Join this session to see:

  • The path Simplus took to deeply understand their audience
  • How Simplus identified SEO opportunities to build the foundations of their content program
  • The process of targeting resources more efficiently by mapping content to priority industries
  • How to create content that resonates with a technical audience and delivers results
