Even the video on the landing page did not disappoint. It's a work skillfully produced like a side chat.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Online events have benefited marketers during the pandemic. But in the absence of any other options, digital fatigue is brewing. Terminus determined it needed to do something different to convince people to spend time on what could have been just another virtual event. From the title to the invitation to Landing page to celebrity guests (a saxophone-playing sasquatch named Saxsquatch), marketing convinces viewers that the event will be different. Turning the show into a contest will keep the audience's interest longer. And it can even boost speakers that bring something new to the game.

Then it send by email a celebration package with badges and personalized social media posts with the client's company name and number of fitness classes delivered.

Over 100 customers shared their badges and social media posts on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. An additional benefit? Many customers start following TeamUp's social channels for the first time.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Brands seem to love marking their milestones in the social media and blog posts. However, too many businesses put out that content about themselves.
