Case Study

Live Physical Event Registration Promotion Campaign

With 25 years of experience in the enterprise open source solutions technology category, our representative brand conducts annual summits across the regions. The summit is the open source technology event for thousands of IT professionals to innovate and focus on high-performing Linux, cloud, automation and management, and container technologies.

As the world’s third largest economy, Japan is brimming with possibilities for the company taking a global leap. The client aims to hold this summit in Tokyo to drive brand awareness, stimulate the local industry, ignite dialogue and build authentic engagement with the Japan market.

Objectives

The client understands that IT is an industry that doesn’t stand still, and neither does the people involved in the industry. The client’s products and services provide the essential building block of open source, and the summit is where it comes to life. It’s a place to learn, network, and experience open source.

Through the summit, the client seeks to add value to the IT community and build an even stronger network of IT professionals in each region. And inform a wider range of audience that open source core gives the proven advantages and flexibility we all need.

KKBC has been managing the client’s advertising campaigns since 2018 and for this particular project the client asked us to promote the event and get the right people to register. Bringing measurable results in conversions was squarely in mind. Thus, KKBC devised an integrated advertising program to take advantage of digital media channels that were the best match to our client’s target audience.
