Amber van Moessner

Marketing

Live events are a fast growing industry, expected to generate $18 billion of annual revenue by 2018. Events are a great tool for lead generation and customer and prospect engagement. To top it off, live video is one of the most engaging forms of content. The evidence is clear: viewers watch 54 minutes on average and spend even more time with this content when you introduce online polls and Q&A. Best of all? 30% of people who watch an event’s livestream will buy a ticket to attend that event the following year!

For this week’s Livestream Learn, we sat down with Marisa Laureni, Director and Owner of Romela Events, and Jasmine Cortez, Field Marketing Manager at Sailthru to talk event planning best practices and how to incorporate a live video strategy into your event.
