Develop and execute multi-channel promotional campaigns (email, social media, website) to maximize attendance and engagement. Partner with Content, Design, and Product Marketing to develop creative booth activations, customer stories, messaging, and event experiences that bring the brand story to life and ensure a high-quality attendee experience. Partner with sales to ensure generated leads are routed correctly and worked by reps pre- and post-campaign. Establish a centralized event reporting system using CRM and data tools (e.g., Salesforce) to track performance metrics, including MQA-to-SQA conversion, cost-per-lead (CPL), and pipeline influence, to prove event ROI. Create post-event follow-up strategies to nurture leads and convert attendees into customers.
