How a great communication mix could make memorable also a digital event
How complex could it be to promote a virtual event at the time of the Covid pandemic? How difficult could it be to engage stakeholders from different countries and create successful connections among the space and telecommunication actors? The answer could be found in the creation of the right communication mix.
SPACE2CONNECT 2021 is the most important event organised by ESA’s TIA directorate. This was the first time that all the suppliers of the upstream and downstream of the Telecommunication sector have been taken together by the European Space Agency. Due to the Covid 19 Pandemia the conference has been rescheduled twice and at the end it was held from the 11th to 14th of October, 2021. The event occurred both as a digital and live event but ust for a small number of key attendees could take part in the event in presence.
ESA’s TIA directorate asked for a 360° support: from the website to the POP materials, including a Linkedin campaign to be created with a very tight deadline.
ReMedia proposed a storytelling communication strategy in which it creates stories around the Space2Connect objectives and key points to be applied on different communication tools and media.
The first step was to create a one page website which expressed the entire value of the conference, the 4 days programs with the details of the sessions, proposed also as an interactive pdf, and the production of a teaser to involve the audience.
In parallel with the development of the website we opened a Linkedin page that we populated for all the duration of the campaign and during the conference with ad hoc animations, videos, graphics and articles and an ADV campaign to reach the main European stakeholders and the look alike target audience.
Our main goal was to raise awareness on the event. Then, in a second moment, we created a retargeting campaign to increase engagement, conversion to the website and most of all to move the target to action: make a registration to the event.
For the live event we designed a communication material kit (badges, roll-up, flyers, backgrounds, panels, deskbanners, PPT templates, signages and totems) to decorate the venue and provide a strong identity also for the printed materials. Our team provided its support also directly at the on-site conference through the participation of two ReMedia professionals.
The final number of the event tells about a great success: 900 participants, more than 80 keynote speakers, more than 250 in sync connections, more than 100 industry virtually exhibiting.
