The Event Market Mapping Playbook

Creating a blueprint to shape your marketing, sponsorship and PR execution plans.

It’s been brutal – do you need to rethink your events and their marketing and sponsorship sales strategies? Are you wanting to increase delegate numbers and ensure you don’t leave sponsorship and exhibitor income on the table? Are you seeking clarity on how your markets have changed in the last three years and how you can maximise that for profitable events?

Ensure your team are high performers by learning how to map your market in granular style so you can maximise your opportunities.

This practical hands-on Masterclass will teach you a visual tool so that you can:

  • Analyse your market on a buy side / sell side basis
  • Develop detailed delegate marketing plans (buy side) and sponsorship / exhibition sales strategies (sell side)
  • Understand who are your “must attends” and media players
  • Develop an Audience Curation plan that includes VIPs
  • Create a PR plan that includes all relevant media; press, socials, bloggers

Give your team laser-like clarity and focus to maximise the value and purpose of your events.
