Presentations from Event Marketing for Startups

Last night we held a sold-out event with General Assembly at Google Campus, where we were joined by over 150 startups, small businesses and event professionals, and a top speaker line-up of event marketing and startup experts.

They were there to share their considerable experience of using events as a budget-friendly, high-impact method of event marketing for startups.

Covering off topics from PR, social media and email to partnerships, experience design and scalability, the audience enjoyed 5 x 10 minute lightening talks to help them use event marketing to build audiences, connect and engage with customers and build their brand in 2015.

For those who couldn’t make it – and as a reminder for those who were there – the presentations are below!
