Case Study – Cross Media Show 2013

Cross Media 2013 at the Business Design Centre, London- 23rd-24th October 2013

As campaigns get more complex – with a wealth of new technology, there is one event that brings together all the channels to help marketers, publishers and printers make sense of the opportunities and discover how to reap the benefits of the cross media world.

Cross Media is the event that’s all about multi-platform integration and how to achieve better return on multi-channel campaigns.

In addition to 100+ leading companies exhibiting at the event, as well as a packed seminar programme from the Cross Media College, the 2013 event will include a number of features designed to help and inform visitors.

This year’s features have just been announced! We have the AR Hall of Fame where you will find the industry’s best AR campaigns on showcase, or there’s the Ogilvy Ideas Shop if you’re looking for inspiration or why not try a Virtual Reality skydive if you’re up for a challenge? Visit our webpage for more details on these and our other fantastic features on show.

We submitted Cross Media 2013 to over 80 sites with a total site reach of 55M – submitted sites go live within 24 hours to 7 working days.

  We can grow your audience reach and achieve better natural search. The publishers who we work with can expect to appear on the first page of Google, when searching for the event we reached 37% coverage on the first page and continued to deliver coverage on pages two, three, four and five. Attracting potential attendee’s via search on by targeting them on the event listing sites they look to for the latest events information is the quickest routes to targeting and results.

Social engagement and interaction is an important part of the experience as we started to look at how to engage with online attendees through ‘likes’ and ‘shares’, and then ‘tweets’ and ‘retweets’, then lastly through visuals, check-ins and pinning.

To be as transparent as possible, evvnt always sends a detailed report to each client.
