MARKETING FOR THE EVENTS & EXHIBITIONS INDUSTRY

The Events & Exhibitions industry brings businesses, organizations and audiences together through conferences, exhibitions, conventions, trade shows and other live business events. The industry encompasses event organizers, exhibition organizers, venues, convention and exhibition centers and other businesses involved in creating and delivering events. Successful events depend on understanding their target markets and creating experiences that meet the evolving needs of exhibitors, attendees, event planners and other stakeholders.  

Competition within the industry makes market understanding particularly important. Event and exhibition businesses need to understand demand, competitors and audience expectations while developing propositions that attract the right participants. For venues, factors including location, facilities, technology, flexibility and service delivery can influence their ability to compete for events, particularly within the international business events market.  

Technology and changing audience expectations are also influencing how events and exhibitions are developed, marketed and experienced. Venues and organizers need to respond to emerging trends while ensuring their offering remains relevant to their target markets. For new or developing venues, marketing also becomes important before opening, with lead generation and marketing activity supporting market positioning and the development of future business.  

Marketing can help Events & Exhibitions businesses understand their markets, differentiate their offering and reach the audiences that matter. Market and competitor research can inform positioning and identify opportunities, while digital marketing, content, PR, social media and targeted campaigns can build visibility and generate interest. Marketing can also support exhibitor and attendee acquisition, event launches, venue promotion and ongoing engagement before, during and after an event.

At BBSA, we combine strategic and tactical marketing expertise to help Events & Exhibitions businesses build their market presence and connect with exhibitors, attendees, event planners, partners and other relevant audiences. We can support market and competitor research, marketing strategy and planning, brand positioning, digital marketing, content and communications, PR, social media, campaigns and ongoing marketing execution.

Whether you are promoting an established event, launching a new exhibition or conference, marketing a venue, increasing exhibitor or attendee participation, targeting new audiences or entering a new market, BBSA provides the marketing expertise and resources to take your strategy through to execution.

START YOUR MARKETING PROJECT

Need help with a specific marketing project or task? BBSA provides bespoke project-based marketing support, bringing together the expertise and resources needed to take your project from brief to completion.

Our marketing services can be commissioned as standalone projects, giving you focused support for a specific need, objective or timeframe rather than a fully outsourced monthly marketing solution. From research, strategy and branding to digital marketing, content, PR, social media, campaigns, events and communications, we tailor the scope and expertise around the project and what you need to achieve.

Our services continuously evolve with advances in AI, technology and digital innovation, ensuring your project benefits from the latest developments in marketing and helps your business stay competitive as the market evolves.

Whether you have a clearly defined brief or need help shaping the project, BBSA provides the marketing expertise to plan, manage and deliver it. Learn more here.

MARKETING STRATEGY & PLANNING

A well-researched, well-designed marketing strategy and plan provide the foundation for effective marketing. They connect your marketing activities to your current market, competitive environment, use of technology, business priorities, and where you want to go.

At BBSA, we know that one thing that does not work is random, disconnected marketing activity. This is where our Marketing Strategy & Planning service comes in. We develop tailored marketing strategies and actionable plans based on your business, customers, competitive environment, and ambitions.

We assess where your marketing stands today, identify opportunities, and determine where marketing can make the greatest impact. Our work includes market and competitor research, marketing audits, customer insight, brand positioning, channel strategy, and strategic analysis, bringing these elements together into a comprehensive marketing strategy and practical plan.

The marketing landscape has changed significantly in recent years. AI, emerging technologies, digital platforms, and changing customer behavior continue to reshape how businesses compete and reach their markets. We incorporate these developments into our strategies and plans, identifying opportunities to leverage the latest advances in marketing while helping your business remain competitive.

Whether you are developing your first marketing strategy, reassessing an existing one, responding to market change, or preparing for the next stage of growth, BBSA provides the strategic foundation and marketing plan to guide your marketing forward. Learn more here.

MARKET ENTRY & PRODUCT LAUNCH

Entering a new international market or launching a new product or service? BBSA provides a complete Market Entry & Product Launch service designed to help companies successfully introduce, establish and grow their products, services and brands in new and existing markets.

We start by understanding the market and the opportunity before developing the strategy. This includes market and competitor research, assessing market potential, understanding customers and business dynamics, identifying opportunities, and determining how your product, service, brand and proposition need to be positioned.

From there, we develop your market entry or product launch marketing strategy and plan, adapting your marketing to customer expectations, market conditions and, for international expansion, local and cultural differences. Our international marketing experience and local market knowledge help you avoid costly assumptions about what works in one market automatically working in another.

BBSA can then take the strategy into execution, supporting the marketing activity required to launch your product or service, enter the market and develop your presence. This can include localized communications, digital marketing, PR, launch campaigns, events and exhibitions, customer engagement and ongoing outsourced marketing support.

Whether you are launching a new product or service, entering the USA, UK, ANZ or another international market, our Market Entry & Product Launch service brings together research, market insight, marketing strategy and execution to support a successful launch and long-term market development. You can learn more here.
