Marketing, PR and Press Campaign
The success of the Business Show will be achieved by this highly effective, targeted marketing campaign.
Our extensive marketing campaign will be targeted at the City of Brighton and Hove and will include Sussex towns, towards the West of Sussex including Worthing, Littlehampton, Eastbourne, towards the East of Sussex and Burgess Hill, and Haywards Heath, North Sussex.
Online
The Show has a comprehensive website www.brightonandhovebusinessshow.co.uk which will carry selected logos, links and information about all exhibitors, sponsors and partners. This website will continually build towards the Show date with further exhibitor information and be professionally optimised for maximum online visibility. The website will remain online after the event, until 20 November 2009.
Other online activities have already started with numerous web site event listings and online directories carrying listings and editorial of the event. The Brighton and Hove Business Show are pleased to be working with a number of online partners which include social network advertising, and listings on local websites.
Contact Lyn Tulip, your Regional Director about the many opportunities with your dedicated local, regional and national online directory today.
