DEVELIPING MARKETING SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE BRANDS

Event marketing is a promotional strategy that involves face-to-face contact between companies and their

customers at special events like concerts, fairs, sporting events etc. Brands use event marketing

entertainment to reach consumers through direct hand-to-hand sampling or interactive displays. The

practice works because it engages consumers while they’re in a willing, participatory position.

An event marketing campaign should be led by a marketing manager with a thorough understanding of the

brand, allowing the manager to tailor each event to the audience while still keeping the brand’s identity

and mission intact. Typically, marketing managers oversee all activities within a company’s marketing,

advertising, and promotional department – not just an event marketing idea. They establish brand

guidelines and growth strategies, evaluate customer needs, and then develop creative event marketing

ideas based on these goals. The best way to pursue a career in event marketing is to earn marketing

knowledge.

Being professional marketer requires specific techniques, innovative solutions, creative ideas, new skills,

open mind, because marketing is one of the crucial keys for companies’ success and creating sustainable

brands.

The professional development courses curriculum is a tailor-made program, developed based on the

following analysis:

Analysis of the needs and challenges of marketing event managers

Review of state of art and effective training programs

Benchmarking European standards for management and leadership

Analysis and benchmarking report

It is expected that the courses will ensure high quality learning opportunities to adult learners and provide

effective strategies for enhancing basic skills of marketing event managers. There by the project will take

a big step forward to close the gap and lack of adult training in marketing and event management in

Macedonia. It is expected these professional development program to be attractive not only in Macedonia

but also in the region.

current society. It is very important to have a methodology or a system, capable to obtain and process data of clients or attendants in order to improve and develop own capacity to collect data. Another important aspect treated during the course will be the possibilities and importance of the user generated content. 5 Case study and real life applications At the end of the training sessions, participant will create their own case study using as example real life situation that will occur in their professional life or in the near future as event manager. In this phase “animated scenarios” through multimedia tools can be implemented by the trainer to support participant. In this “practice”, students will implement their new knowledge and try to develop the best possible strategy to overcome risks and difficulties (including the unexpected) and to have a successful event and promotion. 6 Post-course evaluation and assessment As a final step, participant will complete an assessment and final questionnaire on the training received. This will be important for the partnership and for the trainer in order to improve the course in the future and to learn in which aspect focus more.

Learning outcomes:

Participants will develop new methodologies, skills and competencies in the event management and in the trend adaptation and promotion. Students, after the course, will be able to develop own risk management plan, mitigation plan and to prepare themselves for difficult situation that may occur during their professional life.
