WHY SOCIAL MEDIA & EVENT MARKETING?


WHY IS SOCIAL MEDIA IMPORTANT?

• THE WAY WE OBTAIN INFORMATION HAS CHANGED

• SEARCH IS NOW KEY IN OUR ONLINE DISCOVERY PROCESS

• MOBILE AND MOBILITY ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER BEFORE


SOME VITAL SOCIAL STATISTICS

• 1 IN EVERY 13 PEOPLE ON EARTH IS ON FACEBOOK

• ALMOST 1 MILLION ACCOUNTS ARE ADDED TO TWITTER EVERY DAY

• OVER 6 BILLION HOURS OF VIDEO ARE WATCHED EACH MONTH ON YOUTUBE


WE TALK ABOUT REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES


CROWDSOURCING

1. CROWDSOURCING CAN DRAW AN AUDIENCE TO AN EVENT BY ASKING THEM TO HELP SHARE THE AGENDA

2. ASK YOUR AUDIENCE TO PARTICIPATE IN SOMETHING LINKED TO THE REASON THEY ARE AT THE EVENT

3. MAKE IT SIMPLE
