Event Publicity and Trade Show Amplification

Maximizing Your B2B Brand's Presence and Impact

In today’s crowded B2B event and trade show landscape, simply showing up is no longer enough. To cut through the noise, capture the attention of your target audiences, and drive meaningful business results, you need a strategic, integrated approach to event publicity and amplification. You need to create experiences and moments that extend far beyond the confines of the conference hall or convention center.

At Zen Media

We specialize in helping B2B brands maximize the impact and ROI of their event and trade show investments. Our approach is grounded in a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that occur when striving to reach and engage with B2B audiences in the live event context, and leveraging those touchpoints to drive year-round growth.

Why Strategic Event Publicity and Amplification are Critical in B2B

In industries where relationships are paramount, decisions are complex, and competition is fierce, events and trade shows offer unparalleled opportunities to connect with key stakeholders, showcase your expertise, and accelerate your sales cycles. But to capitalize on those opportunities, you need more than just a well-designed booth and a stack of business cards. You need a holistic strategy for attracting, engaging, and converting your most valuable event audiences. Here’s why:

**Cuts Through the Clutter**: In a sea of competing exhibitors and sponsors, strategic pre-event publicity and on-site amplification help you stand out and draw qualified traffic to your presence.
**Extends Your Reach and Impact**: By leveraging earned, owned, and paid media channels, you can engage key audiences before, during, and after the event, maximizing your brand’s visibility and thought leadership.
**Enhances Your Credibility**: Securing earned media coverage and influencer endorsements around your event presence lends third-party validation and credibility to your brand and solutions.
**Accelerates Your Sales Pipeline**: By integrating your event strategy with your broader demand generation efforts, you can turn event interactions into qualified leads, sales conversations, and closed deals.
**Provides Valuable Market Intelligence**: Events offer a wealth of opportunities to gather competitive intelligence, customer insights, and market feedback that can inform your wider strategies and offerings.

Our Approach

End-to-End Event Optimization

Our team of B2B event marketers, PR pros, and digital strategists works closely with you through every phase of your event journey to maximize your presence, performance, and ROI:

**Pre-Event Strategy and Publicity**: We start by gaining a deep understanding of your event objectives, target audiences, and success metrics. We then develop a comprehensive pre-event strategy encompassing:
- Earned Media Outreach: Securing pre-event coverage and interviews in key trade publications and online outlets to build buzz and credibility.
- Influencer and Partner Activation: Engaging relevant industry influencers, analysts, and partners to amplify your event presence through their networks and content.
- Targeted Attendee Outreach: Leveraging account-based marketing tactics to personally invite and schedule meetings with your highest-value prospects and customers.
- Social Media and Content Marketing: Creating and distributing engaging pre-event content across your social, email, and web channels to drive booth traffic and session attendance.
**On-Site Amplification and Engagement**: Once the event is underway, our team kicks into high gear to amplify your presence and engage your key audiences in real-time. This includes:
- Live Social Media Coverage: Providing on-the-ground social media coverage and engagement to amplify your booth activities, speaking sessions, and networking events.
- Real-Time Media and Influencer Engagement: Coordinating on-site interviews, booth tours, and social sharing with attending media and influencers.
- Experiential Marketing Activation: Creating immersive, interactive experiences at your booth or off-site events to draw crowds and create memorable brand touchpoints.
- Sales Enablement and Qualification: Equipping your on-site sales and executive teams with the tools, content, and qualification criteria they need to turn conversations into concrete next steps.
**Post-Event Follow-Up and Nurture**: We know that the real work of converting event interactions into pipeline and revenue happens after the booths come down. That’s why we put equal emphasis on your post-event strategy, including:
- Targeted Attendee Follow-Up: Developing and executing personalized follow-up sequences for your booth visitors, session attendees, and meeting prospects.
- Earned Media Amplification: Capitalizing on your event press coverage and social buzz to drive further earned media opportunities and brand visibility.
- Content Repurposing and Distribution: Turning your event content and insights into blog posts, webinars, whitepapers, and sales assets that fuel your longer-term nurture programs.
- Event Performance Measurement and Optimization: Providing in-depth reporting on your key event performance metrics, along with recommendations for optimizing your strategy for your next event.

The impact of their release was so successful that the Las Vegas City Mayor’s Office honored DeNove Detect’s groundbreaking efforts by declaring January 6 as Natural Gas Safety Awareness Day.
AGBT, a genomic life-sciences company, leveraged Zen Media’s publicity and event amplification services to drive a record number of attendees to their genomic sciences conferences.
