Yet, despite their transformative power, events often find themselves relegated to a secondary role within organizations, viewed as logistical endeavors rather than integral components of the overarching business strategy. This disparity underscores a significant gap between the expertise of event marketers and their ability to wield strategic influence within their organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If event marketers aspire to drive high-impact events that align with their organization&#8217;s strategic goals and secure funding for future initiatives, they have to evolve their approach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how event marketers can turn themselves into strategic architects in their organization:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>1. Change Your Title<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repositioning job titles is a critical first step in signaling the strategic importance of event marketers within organizations. Advocate for titles such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0&#8220;Strategic Event Manager&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0&#8220;Event Strategist&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0&#8220;Director of Event Strategy&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These titles reflect the strategic nature of the role and align with the overarching business objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>2. Define the Strategic Importance of Events<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Events should not be viewed as isolated endeavors but rather as integral components of the organization&#8217;s broader strategic roadmap. To achieve this alignment:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Conduct a Strategic Assessment:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Understand your organization&#8217;s overarching goals and objectives, identifying areas where events can contribute directly to achieving these objectives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Develop Tailored Event Strategies:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tailor each event strategy to align with specific business objectives, whether it&#8217;s driving revenue, enhancing brand awareness, or fostering customer relationships.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Establish Clear KPIs:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Define measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for each event, aligned with broader business objectives, to track and evaluate success.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56812\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screen-Shot-2024-07-09-at-4.17.09-PM.png\" alt=\"Strategic business priorities for events\" width=\"1759\" height=\"864\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>3. Find Your Executive Champion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify an executive champion within the organization who understands the strategic value of events and can advocate for budget allocation and support. Collaborate with this ally to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly articulate how events investment impacts their objectives<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Present to executive stakeholders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help secure the resources needed to drive strategic event initiatives forward<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>4. Use the right technology stack<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an event marketer, your ability to execute your strategy can only be as powerful as the technology that you use to power your event experiences. There are so many technology platforms on the market for events that it can become overwhelming to consider which is best for your use case.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Find the Best Strategists: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify which tech provider actually connects you to the best event strategist. These reps, whether AEs or CSMs, can act as an extension of your strategy team if they do their job well. They will help you get the most out of your purchase.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Look for a Complete Solution:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As an event marketer, flexibility is a job requirement. And you want technology that can be as agile as you are. You don\u2019t need an all-in-one solution, but rather a product that will empower you to build the right experience for your company, use case and audience through powerful integrations. For example, RingCentral Events is our event tech\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>5. Quantify Impact<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quantifying the impact of events is essential for demonstrating their value and securing buy-in from stakeholders. To quantify impact:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Implement Robust Tracking Mechanisms: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utilize event management software like RingCentral Events and analytics tools to track attendee interactions, engagement levels, and post-event actions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Calculate Financial ROI:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Compare event costs to revenue generated, considering both direct and indirect revenue streams, to assess the financial impact of events.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Capture Qualitative Feedback:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Gather qualitative feedback from attendees, sponsors, and stakeholders to complement quantitative data, providing insights into attendee satisfaction and overall event experience.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>6. Educate Stakeholders<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Educating stakeholders about the strategic value of events is essential for garnering support and investment. To educate stakeholders:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Craft a Compelling Narrative:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Develop a narrative that articulates the role of events in achieving strategic business objectives, supported by success stories and real-world examples.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tailor Communication: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customize communication strategies to resonate with different stakeholder groups, highlighting how events contribute to their specific goals and objectives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Provide Ongoing Education: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foster a culture of continuous learning and education around event marketing within the organization, offering workshops, training sessions, or lunch-and-learn events.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"heading h2\"><b>7. Position Events as Community-Builders<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_56813\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56813\" style=\"width: 1759px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56813\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Screen-Shot-2024-07-09-at-4.17.26-PM.png\" alt=\"Position events as community builders\" width=\"1759\" height=\"1028\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-56813\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Headlines from news sources<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way people connect and communicate online is changing, the future of which will be through communities.

As you think about some of your key events &amp; conferences for the year, think about those key touchpoints in building closer relationships, and in addition how they fit amongst other marketing activities like large conferences, webinars, streams, customer meetings, year-round content, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By implementing these strategies, event marketers can elevate their role within their organizations and position themselves as strategic architects that have a significant impact on business goals.
