THE CHALLENGE
With plenty of in-house experts and a captive audience interested in e-Commerce and ticketing solutions, Spektrix were keen to explore how to take advantage of webinars for both prospects and existing customers.
With no past experience running webinars, Spektrix were keen to ensure that their first foray into this marketing channel generated a positive return on investment, and that the technical foundations were in place so they could continue running future webinars successfully.
THE SOLUTION
Having never run a webinar before, Spektrix were looking to us to provide full end-to-end support.
From platform selection and content support, through to managing the webinar experience and and implementing a post-event lead nurturing solution - we guided them every step of the way.
Webinar Strategy
We kickstarted the programme of work with our rapid discovery process – a collaborative workshop with our senior strategists and key stakeholders from the Spektrix teams which established:
- KPIs and objectives
- Target customer segments & personas
- Content strategy, topics and themes
- Paid channel strategy
- MarTech requirements
Webinars are a powerful demand generation tactic but need careful planning. Far too often they generate leads but no sales opportunities for businesses - it was important that sales and marketing were fully aligned to ensure this wasn't the case for this campaign.…

MarTech Foundations
We recommended Zoom as the webinar platform, configuring it with Spektrix’s MarTech stack, CRM and Outreach.io sales automation platform.
Next, we designed and built the webinar landing page and prepared pre and post-event email nurture sequences within the sales and marketing automation platforms.
The initial technical setup was complex and required a number of integrations across our systems - Digital Litmus made this whole process seamless.…

Inbound & Outbound Promotion
We orchestrated an integrated marketing campaign across inbound and outbound channels, that included:
- Paid social & search ads with persona-based messaging
- Branded emails sent to their existing opt-in lists
- Remarketing ads across all paid social channels
- Organic social posts on Spektrix’s social channels
- Outbound emails for pre and post event comms
Running inbound and outbound in tandem to a target group of accounts was highly effective in amplifying the campaign and rapidly generating webinar sign ups.…
