On this final episode of season five(!) we take a look under the hood of the impact events can have in a different way than we have previously. Chief Nation is a UK-based agency that has made connecting people through events their mission. It turns out intimate events (both online and in person) where you have all the right people "in the room" is very effective for building relationships and driving revenue! Who knew? ;-)
Megan and Jen speak with two of the managing directors of the agency who give us insight into why the connections we make face-to-face are a pivotal part of the "digital to human" experience. We also get a little advice for agency owners and have a few laughs (standard).
This was an epic way to close out season 5! Thank you for listening and PLEASE provide any feedback or suggestions you may have via DM on our Twitter @MakeAMarketer. And season six is on the way…
