Content Marketing for events focuses on the specific opportunities for conferences, exhibitions and associations in content marketing to engage event communities and convert them to delegates and sponsors through an effective content strategy.
Using real examples and case studies, the course will examine how to research, create and execute an effective plan to drive interest, awareness, engagement and revenue growth for your event.
Content marketing principles, tools, tactics and strategies are explained and assessed, and their relevance in the context of events applied. Participants will also learn how to establish ambitious yet realistic content marketing objectives and KPI’s, and measure their effectiveness for sustained managerial buy in. How to integrate and maximise channels to disseminate content marketing efforts will also be covered.
