    How Kabloom made a sponsor’s symposium the congress’s second most attended

    With several symposia competing for attendees at a medical congress, a sponsor needed its session to stand out. The goal was to drive maximum attendance by reaching congress participants before the event, so they chose this symposium over the others.

    What we did

    Kabloom ran multi-channel digital advertising, geo-targeted campaigns and continuous evaluation with reporting. A targeted digital strategy built awareness and engagement before, during and after the event, focused directly on congress participants.

    The results

    Visits to the symposium landing page grew 200%, and the symposium moved from fourth to second most attended at the congress. Ads delivered 1.5 million impressions in under four weeks.

    Why it worked

    Targeting only the people already at the congress meant every impression reached someone who could attend.

    FAQ

    How can a sponsor drive more attendance to its symposium at a medical congress?

    Target the delegates directly before and during the event. Kabloom’s campaign for one sponsor grew landing page visits by 200% and moved its symposium from fourth to second most attended at the congress.

    Does Kabloom take a commission on media spend?

    No. Kabloom bills media at cost, with no markup or service charge on media buying. Our own fees are fixed and agreed up front, so you always know what goes to the platforms and what goes to the agency.
