‘Brit’ of a Difference

etc.venues is Britain's No.1 award-winning conference venue brand, with more meeting rooms than both Hilton or Marriot – hosting over 900,000 delegates across over 18,000 events in the last year alone!

Brief

To launch etc.venues globally, beginning in New York before expanding to other cities across the US and then the world.

Challenge

How do you bring a British brand to the US market and ensure it’s well received? New York has never had a dedicated business event space; we needed to challenge the norm and inform our audience that there was a new spot designed exclusively for business.

Solution

A tongue in cheek, multi-platform targeted strategy and campaign with a ‘Brit of a Difference’ – aimed exclusively at the business community. This included social media, a content hub, podcasts, data capture, TTL campaign, live events, digital marketing, and website build.

Results

We created an engaging environment by understanding etc.venues’ core US audience. Here we educated users on the importance of a specialist service and the benefits this provides for a business conference or event.
