      Creative Services Review from Michelle Myers

      The team’s attentiveness to detail, creative and forward thinking, brand knowledge, quick turnaround and exceptional client relations is not something that can be found at every creative agency. Their design and collateral pieces have helped position our hotel for success and increased attendance at several hotel events.

      Email Marketing Review from Karena Thek

      I took a leap of faith several months ago when I hired Email Broadcast. … [The] team is precise and professional. I can rely on them to do exactly what they say they will do—and more. They have worked hard to not only uphold their end of the to-do list but also to send me extensive comments about bettering the website to improve ROI once an email is sent. The emails that have been sent look professional and are in my voice and style. The SuperCollector™ to gather emails of those visiting my site are clean and inviting—just the way I wish I had the skill to do and would do if I wasn’t so busy running my business. I can’t imagine that a forward-facing email campaign that looks this professional would be anything but a huge success.

      Just renewed my lease - I love this building! The location is literally perfect you’re right in the middle of everything, and it has a unique boutique-feel compared to other buildings in the area. Repairs are usually done by the next day and we just got new security entry technology which is a huge plus. All my neighbors are chill asf. Great place to live

      When you incorporate Stephanie from Pro-Found into your web development and social marketing its like running bald tires on your pickem up truck and getting a brand new pair mounted up or like eating your favorite meal and they discontinue it but Stephanie brings it back to the menu. First class web design ,first class social media content and an awesome person. If you dont go with pro-found for your web design your boat will be taking on water. Thanks again Stephanie Miller.

      Stephanie is a pleasure to work with. She redesigned my website and I am extremely satisfied with it. My site traffic has been increasing since she got involved. She is a good listener and asks the right questions. Pro-Found works on one project at a time from start to finish. There is no juggling of multiple projects at once. I am amazed at the value I received for the money. Stephanie is very easy to get in touch with and responds quickly and thoroughly, highly recommended.

      Gianni and Loren were AMAZING to work with, from the very start they were attentive to detail, and also responsive. I'm the owner of a catering company & we were contracted to cater for a Gala that Fifteen East Media Group planned and coordinated. The day of the gala was executed perfectly, my serving team and myself had a phenomenal experience collaborating with them. Hire this company, you WILL be happy that you did!!

      I had the pleasure of working with Gianni to create an electronic press kit that I could use while promoting my latest bestselling novel “Single Black Female”. Not only did Gianni deliver an exceptional package, but she went above and beyond to assist me with incredible attention to detail on every aspect of the project. This company provides excellent service, quick turnaround, and absolute customer satisfaction. My EPK is stronger and much more user friendly thanks to their expertise. I will work with them again and again.

      Zachary and his team at FIG are top notch. I hired them to run an advertising campaign for an event our agency was doing in the Denver market, and from first reaching out to them to after our event was wrapped they were exceptional. They were extremely professional, took the time to sit down and gage our needs for our agency, and created incredible ads that brought our agency and event incredible success far exceeding my expectations. They communicate very well and it's clear they genuinely care about their clients. I would highly recommend FIG for any marketing/advertising needs you have!

Hiring Guide: How to Choose a Leading Event Marketing Agency in the US

Why should I hire an event marketing expert?

Event marketing helps businesses grow by increasing brand awareness, strengthening customer loyalty, and building meaningful relationships.

Its key advantages include:

  1. Brand building
    Events let customers experience a brand firsthand through visuals, messaging, and product demonstrations, which creates stronger emotional connections and more positive brand perceptions.

  2. Increased sales
    Businesses can drive revenue through on-site purchases, exclusive event offers, and follow-up promotions that create urgency and encourage buying.

    Over 80% of organizers consider in-person events the most impactful marketing channel, according to Swoogo.

  3. Customer engagement
    Interactive and personalized experiences help businesses connect more deeply with customers, gather feedback, and improve products or services.

    Swoogo’s report also highlights that 55% of event attendees prefer in-person events over virtual ones.

  4. Networking
    Events make it easier to meet new customers, strengthen existing relationships, and form partnerships with industry peers, suppliers, and stakeholders.

    Event organizers report increased attendance at their in-person B2B conferences, with over 50% seeing growth in attendance.

  5. Data collection
    Events provide valuable customer insights, including contact details and behavior patterns, which can be used to improve marketing strategies and decision-making.

How do I choose the right B2B event marketing agency for my brand?

Start by defining your event goal with absolute clarity. Are you trying to generate leads, build brand awareness, launch a product, or strengthen customer relationships?

Different agencies excel at different objectives.

  1. Look for agencies with proven experience in your specific event type, whether that's trade shows, conferences, experiential activations, or product launches.
  2. Evaluate their understanding of your target audience size and demographics. Industry experience matters because healthcare events differ dramatically from technology conferences or consumer brand activations.
  3. Compare creative vision by reviewing case studies and past work that demonstrates innovative thinking.
  4. Assess logistics capability by asking about their vendor relationships, venue networks, and execution track record.
  5. Budget control is essential, so ask how event marketing agencies manage costs and what reporting you'll receive throughout the planning process.

According to Splash's research, 77% of marketers say events are the most effective marketing channel for their company.

What kind of ROI can I expect from event marketing?

According to Swoogo, 52% of businesses believe that events deliver the highest ROI compared to other marketing channels, by fostering brand loyalty, building relationships, and creating memorable experiences.

Companies that invest $50–$100 million in event marketing report strong returns.

About 75% expect an ROI greater than 5:1, while 48% of brands anticipate returns between 3:1 and 5:1.

In addition, 44% of marketers say their event marketing efforts deliver an average ROI of 3:1, according to Equation Events.

You can easily calculate simple ROI with the following formula ROI = (Net Profit / Total Investment) x 100, and get a clear percentage that shows how much return you get for every dollar you invest.

If you’d like to estimate how much money you’ll generate as a direct result of the event, you’ll want to calculate the Advanced or Incremental ROI, and the formula is Incremental ROI = (Incremental Revenue - Event Cost) / Event Cost x 100.

According to Think Orion, typical ROI from event marketing ranges between 25%-34%, depending on the industry, making it an effective and profitable marketing strategy for businesses across various sectors.

Pre-event marketing, including email campaigns, social media posts, and targeted ads, helps maximize ROI.

The Agility PR Solutions research revealed that more than 75% of participants reported heightened trust in brands following personal interactions at events.

Many businesses experience an immediate increase in sales during or shortly after events, driven by live demonstrations and direct interactions, and gain valuable opportunities for personalized follow-up to turn interested attendees into customers.

What is the difference between an event marketing agency and an event production company?

Event marketing agencies focus on the strategic elements that drive business results.

They develop messaging, define audience engagement strategies, create content, manage promotion, and measure outcomes against business objectives.

Event production companies focus primarily on logistics and execution.

They handle staging, audiovisual equipment, lighting, venue management, and technical direction.

Think of it this way: a marketing agency determines what story you want to tell and how to tell it, while a production company ensures the stage, lights, and sound work flawlessly when you tell it.

Many full-service event marketing agencies handle both strategy and production, providing end-to-end support.

However, some brands prefer to separate these functions, hiring a marketing agency for strategy and a production company for execution.

The costs vary significantly based on scale, complexity, and objectives. According to Amex report, on average, 14% of a marketing budget goes toward event marketing. Furthermore, according to statistics, U.S. companies spend approximately $122 billion every year on event marketing.

Event size  Cost
Small events (intimate product launches, executive dinners, or localized brand activations) $15,000-$40,000 
Mid-sized events (regional conferences, multi-day trade show presences, or larger product launches)  $75,000-$250,000 
Large-scale or multi-city events, including national conferences, major experiential campaigns, or flagship annual events  $500,000+

According to GoGather's benchmarking data, the typical conference budget in the United States is approximately $1.89 million, accommodating an average of 601 attendees, with a per-person expenditure of about $3,144. 

What additional costs should I expect when working with these types of agencies?

Beyond base agency fees, several additional expenses commonly arise during event execution.

Typical additional costs include:

  • Venue rental: One of the largest line items, varying dramatically by location and prestige
  • Travel and accommodation: For staff, speakers, and sometimes attendees
  • Event staffing: Registration personnel, brand ambassadors, and technical crew
  • Permits and insurance: Required for many public or large-scale events
  • AV equipment: Sound systems, screens, lighting, and technical infrastructure
  • Catering: Food and beverage accounting for roughly 30% of the total budget
  • Insurance coverage: Liability and cancellation protection
  • Post-event content: Photography, videography, and content repurposing

According to GoGather's data, food and beverage alone accounts for 29.9% of the total conference budget, with an average spend of $565,000, translating to approximately $940 per attendee.

The additional costs typically add 25% to 50% to base budgets, depending on event scope and production requirements.

How long does it take to plan and execute an event marketing campaign?

Event planning timelines depend heavily on scale and complexity.

Type of event  Timeline 
Simple activations or smaller gatherings  6 -8 weeks  
Corporate events  3-6 months 
Larger conferences, major trade show presences, or experiential campaigns  9-12 months (planning should begin 12-18 months before the event)
