Digital Event Sponsorship

Context

A global technology company sought to reinforce its position as an innovation leader by sponsoring a major industry conference attracting over 50,000 in-person and virtual attendees. The brand needed to go beyond a simple logo placement — it wanted to own the digital conversation before, during and after the event.

The challenge required a multi-channel digital sponsorship strategy combining Rich Media takeovers on key industry publications, programmatic DOOH inside the venue and surrounding areas, programmatic audio to reach attendees during commutes and downtime, and social amplification to extend the brand's presence beyond the conference halls. Every touchpoint had to reinforce the same message: this brand defines the future of its industry.

Our approach and solutions

Rich Media takeovers on industry publications

High-impact skins, interstitials and expandable units dominated the homepages and article pages of top tech publications during the event week, ensuring maximum share of voice among the target audience.

Programmatic DOOH in and around the venue

Digital screens inside the conference center, hotel lobbies and nearby transit hubs displayed branded content synchronized with the event schedule, creating an immersive on-the-ground presence.

Programmatic audio for attendee moments

Branded audio spots on Spotify, Deezer and podcast platforms targeted attendees through geofencing and interest-based segments, reaching them during commutes, hotel stays and between sessions.

Social amplification and real-time engagement

Sponsored posts, Stories and real-time content on LinkedIn, X and Instagram amplified key moments from the conference, driving engagement and extending reach to those following remotely.
