  • When it comes to event marketing, let's face it the content is pretty boring at best. The obligatory photo of the team in front of a shiny, expensive stand. Add in a few action shots to make sure it looks like you had people attend to justify the cost. Multiply this content by the number of stands, and it all looks exactly the same. Attendees do an obligatory one with the sign at the front to prove they were there. But what if it could be different?

    Laura Erdem joins the show and shares her ideas on how we can get your event content noticed without big budgets that break the bank.
