360Suite makes Event Ads its lead generation linchpin
Using Event Ads as the starting point for generating and nurturing leads has helped the business intelligence solutions provider generate more than 2,000 registrations and 632 Sales Qualified Leads in just six weeks.
For 360Suite, leads that start with quality engagement at virtual events are often the most valuable leads of all. The business helps customers with the adoption of business intelligence solutions, assessing cost, user adoption and data accessibility for different platforms. The extended time that its prospects spend with events, exploring how to increase the value of software from SAP and Tableau, ensures relevant, high-value conversations for sales. Streaming virtual events on LinkedIn Live and promoting them through Event Ads has dramatically accelerated the rate at which 360Suite can generate these quality leads, trebling event registrations and cutting cost per registration to just $19.

“Event Ads dramatically brought down the cost per registration for our events – and because the quality of data on LinkedIn is so high, we were able to run ongoing retargeting and nurture campaigns that translate this engagement into leads and revenue. Our email follow-up campaigns using LinkedIn data have generated open rates of over 50%. For all these reasons, we’re going to use Event Ads as our main vehicle for promoting events going forward.”
