The research programme informed a comprehensive content plan, centered around a flagship key findings report. The bundle of content is completed by a detailed infographic, a collection of smaller micrographics for social media, and a series of video Q&As with event industry experts.

The client has benefitted through a wide impact on social media, building on the buzz created around the launch event at IMEX. This broad mix of mediums helps ensure the campaign is visual, appealing and conveys the desired message effectively. The campaign is a flagship example of how thought leadership can aid the launch – or relaunch – of a brand through an effective B2B content strategy.
