Marketing in 2020 has had its fair share of ups and downs. But pros are turning the downs rightside up with creativity, adaptability, and data-driven tours de force. The event ingenuity we’ve seen since March has given us a lot to celebrate — and a lot to build.
To build the right features, we needed to understand the tools marketers adopted first in a virtual event landscape. A key, go-to tool in that tech stack? Zoom.
It's everywhere. In a world of social distancing, Zoom is basically synonymous with video conferencing. We’ve come to rely on Zoom for everything from personal happy hours to business events. It brings people together. For event marketers, that’s step one.
But our community reminded us that successful event programs require a second step: ensuring virtual guest experiences are engaging, adaptable, and translate into measurable business impact.
Enter Splash + Zoom.
We’re bringing the power of Zoom to the leading event marketing platform. Learn all about this powerful duo by watching our Splash + Zoom launch event, now available on demand.
- Connect Zoom and Splash
- Brand your virtual events
- Gate your virtual events
- Capture data about who attends
- Automate webinar creation and setup
It’s not that virtual events look boring … but they’re starting to blend together. Multiple URLs to track, confusing calendar invites, and third-party video conferencing downloads don’t leave guests feeling inspired.
We know the best events have gorgeous promotional materials (think event pages, emails, and share cards) that uphold brand guidelines and stick to a creative theme, in addition to featuring a reliable Zoom live stream.
With Splash + Zoom, you can build comprehensive, on-brand virtual programs:
- Embed your Zoom Meeting or Webinar directly into Splash for total design control.
- Ensure every event marketing touchpoint — from event page to email — is branded with your fonts, colors, and logo.
- Optimize the guest experience with a dynamic virtual event page that updates based on when visitors click through.
One URL for your registration page, live event, and post-event experience — plus branded event marketing emails, registration forms, and share cards — is ushering in the next generation of virtual events. Don’t miss it.
Of course, enticing guests to your event is only part of the puzzle. The most performance-oriented program owners also collect valuable data that they can act on, improving conversions and fueling follow-up activities.
With Splash + Zoom, you can make data a key part of your virtual program strategy:
- Collect guest time stamps for check-in and checkout, and review duration.
- Sync event data across CRM and marketing automation systems.
- Analyze virtual event trends with built-in, interactive dashboards.
Acting on event data, like curating follow-up emails based on attendee behavior, empowers you to run more engaging events, set the most compelling agendas, and ensure you constantly exceed guest expectations.
Don’t miss out on powerful event data to prove your virtual programs' ROI. Unleash the power of Splash’s integration with Zoom to transform generic events into impact-first virtual marketing programs.
The best part about building successful virtual event programs with Zoom? Running them again. And again.
Integrate Splash + Zoom to save time and run virtual events that convert:
- Automate webinar setup: Every time you create a virtual event in Splash, Zoom spins up a corresponding webinar.
- Get stunning virtual event marketing templates, branded for you automatically, to get up and running in no time.
- Repurpose your favorite registration forms, emails, event page designs, and more with the click of a button.
Repeatable, scalable events are used in marketing, recruiting, partnerships, sales, employee engagement, customer communities, and beyond. They impact far more people than single tentpole events, and can capture more than 50% of total event spend in the enterprise. It’s time to do them justice online.
Rediscover your genius. Build immersive, repeatable virtual events to get results over and over. Automate webinar creation and connect your tech — then, take back your time to focus on what really matters.
