We’ve joined forces with an event management company and fought off national competition to deliver and promote a technology event for Birmingham City Council.
The two-day Beyond 2010 event takes place in Birmingham in October and it’ll demonstrate the potential for digital technology to help deliver wider access to better public services at lower cost. If you fancy going, check out www.beyond-2010.com.
Event management company Tailormade Conference Management (TCM) brought us in to pitch on the strength of our work promoting Venturefest Yorkshire since the one-day event for science and technology entrepreneurs first came to Yorkshire in 2004.
Tailormade MD Chris Wilson, who also leads the Venturefest Yorkshire event delivery team, says it was this ‘joined up’ approach and track record of successful collaboration that won us the Beyond 2010 tender:
“Bringing Partners into the bid process meant that we could meet both the event delivery and promotion elements of the brief. That’s not something every event company can offer, and when you combine it with our track record of working together on Venturefest, it gave us a strong competitive edge.
“Partners’ input has consistently delivered a great return for Venturefest. This year alone the campaign gave us a 160% return on investment, placed information about the event in front of 2.75 million people and helped attract 2,000 delegates in February.”
“Partners director Karen Nixon adds, “We’re seeing more and more collaborations like this, where specialists combine to create powerful teams with the strength in depth to deliver a fantastic service for clients."
We’re so chuffed we just had to tell you about our latest PRCA (PR industry body) audit, where we scored a whopping 95%!
