eevent: The Ultimate Event Engagement Platform
When Newcastle Gateshead Initiative (NGI) approached us earlier this year to support them with their Annual North East England Tourism Awards, we were more than happy to get involved.
NGI wanted to find the best way to communicate to a wide audience, inviting them to attend and also give them updated ongoing details of the awards evening as it happened. An obvious solution would have been to send out a direct invitation email, then print event programmes which would be given out on the night and also to run social media content throughout the evening. We considered those ideas but our challenge was to find a better solution online, which could not only give a better service to attendees but also improve NGI’s environmental impact and carbon footprint.
And so, eevent online platform was born.
eevent is the ultimate event engagement platform, built to automate communication and elevate engagement. It is a single platform that has multiple functions, providing support and latest information for anyone who may want to host their own event.
After many meetings and stages of creation, design and development, Blumilk worked in partnership with NGI, to ensure the platform was ready in time for their awards evening. The Awards night was a huge success with an excellent response from those who attended the event and used the platform to engage and stay up to date.
With eevent, you can easily create your own completely bespoke digital programme, unique to your event. From directions, table plans and menus, to sponsor details, schedules and photos. Add your own categories and tailor every aspect of your event to meet your unique needs, ensuring your vision comes to life exactly as you imagined. In addition, eevent allows you to send push notifications to your event attendees to give live updates and personalised content delivery, so attendees, organisers and sponsors feel connected and involved.
Our analytics showed that during the evening event there were 416 users, with over 780 views in total and that users were engaging with the platform before and after the event.
NGI commented: “The app worked great and it was fab to see so many people scanning the QR codes.”
NGI have since used eevent again for their Destination 2034 – The Destination North East England conference with over 310 users on the day.
