As a marketing manager planning a large event for our accounting services company, here are the top five duties I would perform to support the event:

Five main responsibilities

• Planning and coordination of events:
  • Organize all aspects of the event, including venue selection, logistics and planning. This includes coordinating with vendors, speakers and the venue to keep everything running smoothly.
• Budget management:
  • Create and manage an event budget. This includes tracking expenses, negotiating with suppliers and ensuring we stick to budget while maximizing the impact of the event.
• Marketing and Promotion:
  • Create a marketing plan to promote the event. This includes creating promotional materials, using email marketing, social media and our website to reach customers and prospects.
• Registration and management of participants:
  • Set up a registration process for attendees. This includes managing registrations, sending confirmation emails and ensuring a smooth check-in process on the day of the event.
• Follow up after the event:
  • After the event, get feedback from the participants and analyze the success of the event. This includes sending thank you emails and sharing highlights on our channels.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

To measure the success of the event, we can monitor the following KPIs:

• Attendance rate:
  • Measure how many people signed up and how many actually attended. This helps us understand our reach and engagement.
• Lead generation:
  • Count the number of new leads collected during the event. This can be done by signing up for newsletters, downloading resources, or making an inquiry at the event.
• Levels of involvement:
  • Assess participant engagement through surveys or feedback forms. This may include asking about their satisfaction with the event and interest in our services.
• Reach on social networks:
  • Track social mentions, shares and engagement related to the event. This helps us understand how well our promotional efforts have resonated with our audience.
• Return on Investment (ROI):
  • Calculate the total cost of the event against the revenue generated from new clients or leads. This helps us to evaluate the financial success of the event.

Delivering these KPIs

To ensure that we meet these KPIs throughout the event, there are several actions I can take:

• Promote early and often: Start promoting the event well in advance and use multiple channels to reach our audience. Regular reminders can help increase traffic.
• Engage attendees during the event: Use interactive elements such as question-and-answer sessions, polls, or networking opportunities to engage and engage attendees.
• Data Collection: Set up systems to collect leads and feedback during the event, such as registration forms, surveys or digital registrations.
• Monitor Social Media: Monitor social media during the event to reach attendees and encourage them to share their experiences.
• Follow up immediately: After the event, send follow-up emails to attendees thanking them for coming and providing additional resources or offers to convert leads into clients.

By focusing on these responsibilities and KPIs, we can ensure a successful event that meets our marketing goals and strengthens our relationships with customers and prospects.
