B2B Events: How posting live helped us with greater online reach
In today’s digital age, capturing the essence of an event and sharing it with a wider audience is more important than ever. When discussing B2B events and strategy, we all talk about sales and marketing complimenting each other all the time and events are the perfect place where they meet, work together, with the sole purpose of attracting new business.
How live posting helped NYC TV Week reach more audience:
Recently, we had the pleasure of managing social media for the NYC TV Week, a four-day conference focused on the future of television. The event featured keynote speakers, panel discussions, and sessions on advertising, next-gen TV, and Hispanic TV, with industry giants like Google TV, Nielsen, CNN, and PBS in attendance.
Our Goal:
The aim of the project was to not only increase followers but also to foster a vibrant online community. To achieve this, we employed a dedicated team member to attend each session, capture key takeaways, and share live updates on social media platforms like LinkedIn and X.
