Marketing Hub free event will reveal how you can find and connect with prospects

Marketing Hub will demonstrate how businesses can find and connect with customers and prospects despite social distancing and other health and safety precautions.

On 23 July host Aki Anastasiou will be joined by authors, futurists, celebrity chefs, musicians, magicians and other celebrities, to reveal how customers can go beyond the flat façade of a plain old video call using virtual and hybrid events to ignite relationships.

‘Social distancing is a major business challenge because pre-lockdown pipelines have dried up. But people still have targets and customers still need solutions and services,’ says Tara Yates, director at Marketing Hub. ‘With existing customers, you know the body language, you’ve got the relationships. But, getting to know new faces and establish the crucial trust can be a major challenge. The virtual event platform is wrapped in a turnkey service, so clients don’t have to worry about a thing. And it’s designed to amplify broader sales and marketing strategies that identify and nurture prospects.’

Attendees will experience how virtual and hybrid events break down the barriers so people can explore solutions, services, companies and get to know the people behind them. These types of events present business with more cost-effective options to reach wider audiences. They also provide international firms with the opportunity to participate alongside regional partners or host global events themselves at a fraction of the cost and within much tighter time frames than physical events.

Marketing Hub is a 100% women- and 51% black-owned, level 2 B-BBEE business. The team consists of digital experts, marketing communications professionals and content partners who deliver holistic marketing strategies, manage and maintain consistent communication, and provide cost-effective services that enhance the bottom line.

At this virtual event, attendees will be educated and entertained by author, futurist and strategy consultant, Graeme Codrington. John Sanei, best-selling author and faculty member at Singularity University, combines aspects of psychology, business strategy and future studies to reveal future potential. Reuben Riffel, a South African celebrity chef, restaurateur, philanthropist, and media personality with related television shows and cookbooks will share his experiences. Wolfgang Riebe will inspire and create magic using his 25 years of leader and speaker skills delivering spellbinding experiences in more than 160 countries. There will also be special musical treats from some leading SA singers and the Game of Tunes band for attendees to enjoy.

‘It’s all about the experience,’ says Melinda de Gee, MD of Marketing Hub. ‘You’ll see how we incorporate booths, presentations, demonstrations and audience activities that get people involved and interacting with one another. We can connect the virtual and physical worlds to create unique experiences that unite people to form lasting relationships. That’s a key business challenge and increasingly a differentiator.’

The Marketing Hub team will be online to host and offer advice and expertise to people who register and attend.

There will be four sessions at different times of the day to accommodate international time zones and busy schedules. Registration is free and can be done online HERE.
