Happy Event Marketing Month!
You’re probably asking yourself, “When did October become Event Marketing Month?”
The answer is, TODAY! The Banzai team is excited to spend the month of October sharing stories, providing resources, and creating communities that help us all grow as marketers.
Why Event Marketing Month?
Event season is kicking into full gear (does it ever really stop?), and we felt like October was the perfect time to recognize all the hard work that marketers put into events. The last 18 months have been challenging for events and event marketers alike. You have persevered. Against all odds you’ve made sure that your customers and contacts continue to engage and connect through events.
This next month is all about you. We want to hear from you, learn more about you, and help you thrive at what you do.
