WHAT IS EVENT MARKETING?
Event marketing is a type of marketing that leverages the power of human connection and experience to reach a pre-established set of goals. Organizations can entertain, educate, inspire, sell, or do all of the above simultaneously. Organizations use event marketing to:
- Promote the brand to a larger audience
- Establish themselves as thought leaders in their industry
- Build trust and loyalty among existing customers
- Get data insights into their target audience
- Increase their conversion rate
Hubspot’s INBOUND is an excellent example of event marketing. It has become one of the world’s largest marketing conferences. Its loyal attendees come year after year, enjoying space to meet and network, and learn about the newest technologies and innovations. After the event, they put all their content online on demand. Hubspot achieves all of the bullet points above.
