The Role of Event Professionals in the Marketing and Brand Ecosystem How do brands work with event professionals? Do you think brands work with event profs in the best way that they should? Or could? Event professionals play an incredibly important role in the marketing and brand ecosystem. Event (experiential) marketing is becoming an increasingly important part of overall marketing strategy. When brands use event marketing, they can: - Engage their audiences in more meaningful ways - Create communities - Give their audiences new experiences - Increase sales - Create brand ambassadors - Build their brands Further to my earlier article: ‘The CV of an Event Marketer’, when you look at job ads for event professionals, you see the following job titles: - Head of Delivery - Meeting Planner - Activities Director - Senior Producer - Project Manager - Event Coordinator - Event Specialist - Client Services - New Business - Event Manager And other titles. As an event professional, what’s your preferred job description? I think event professionals are given titles according to how they are perceived. Whether the job opening is: - In-house for a corporation - In a marketing agency - In an event management company - In a government organization Each of these organizations probably perceive the role of an event professional differently and hence the different job titles. If brands better understood the usefulness of event marketing to their brands, then they would probably perceive the role of event professionals differently and how best to work with them to grow their brands.

Different roles/responsibilities: ❤️ Event Organisers ❤️ Event Coordinators/Planners ❤️ Event (Project) Managers ❤️ On-site Event Managers ❤️ Event/agency staff ❤️ PR agencies ❤️ Marketing companies Some of these overlap, some think they overlap but don't and some don't at all (and never should!) but they all have important parts to play in their own fields. This is why it's crucial to understand: 1. The audience and what they require 2. The client (even if that's you!) Every successful event starts with a deep understanding of both the client and the audience. In the entertainment industry (for example), this could range from fans and media to celebrities and sponsors. To be truly effective, you need to tailor your event to meet their expectations, from the theme and entertainment to the venue, food and service levels. Knowing your audience ensures that the event resonates with them on a personal level, making it an unforgettable experience. It's important for us to always try and start with a Consultancy session, which we do online or face to face. This can take anywhere from 1-2 hours depending on the client and scope of event, and ensures we - and our clients - really understand the motivations, the KPI’s and the ROI’s - which can actually be quite different from initial thoughts. During this session, we also breakdown logistical information, such as day, date, time, location etc, because it’s crucial for us to offer industry-specific advice and experience to our clients to ensure what they have in mind is really fit for what they want to achieve. Has anyone changed their event after getting some industry insights? Or realised their goals aren't what they initially thought they were? We've experienced this a few times with clients. Would love to hear anyone else's experiences. #eventconsultancy #marketing #eventspecialists

**Controversial Hot-Take on Event Planners (Don’t tell my event planner friends😉)** Here’s the thing: after working on countless events, both with and without planners, I’ve noticed one undeniable fact… **Events with a planner run smoother, look better, and end up saving you money in the long run.** Yes, hiring an event planner might seem like an added upfront cost, but here’s why it’s actually one of the best investments you can make: - **Vendor Discounts:** Planners have relationships with vendors that YOU don’t. These relationships often mean discounts or added value, because vendors want to keep planners happy. Why? Because planners bring them repeat business. - **Time Savings:** Event planners manage everything—timelines, logistics, vendors—so you don’t have to juggle 10 things at once. Time.Is. Money. - **Problem Solvers:** If something goes wrong (and something always does), planners know how to solve the issue quickly and efficiently without anyone noticing. - **Creative Expertise:** Planners bring fresh ideas and creative thinking to elevate your event and ensure it stands out. So, while a planner might be a bigger upfront expense, they often *save* you money with the connections, expertise, and discounts they bring to the table. In fact, I’d argue you **can’t afford NOT to hire an event planner** for your next event.
