You don’t sell events. You sell experiences. People buy tickets based on emotion. By imagining how it feels to be there. What memories they’ll make. The stories they’ll tell. By having a unique perspective, you’re crafting an experience that your ticket buyers can’t get anywhere else. And whether you’ve been running 1 year or 60 years, that’s a great selling point.

🎬Film festival organisers often ask me if setting up audience voting on Votemo is time-consuming. It’s really not. Let me explain how easy it is. 🗣️Whether your festival already has audience awards or you’re planning to introduce one, you only need to share a complete screening list of films eligible for the audience award, and we can take it from there. So, even if you decide to opt for #Votemo’s voting service at the last minute, you can still do it with no extra hassle. We have standardised the most effective setup of digital ballots that run on autopilot. 👉 Once we import your screening list, the audience will only see the ballot for the film they’re watching. 👉During the onboarding call, we’ll ask you a few questions to better understand your unique festival setting and needs, such as whether you’d like to collect audience emails to be entered into a raffle. Most festivals collect email addresses to include in their direct marketing list. The ownership of the data collected with Votemo is always retained by the film festival. If you want to increase sponsor visibility and earn revenue, you’re more than welcome to design a header visual and full window visual to be included with each ballot. And you’re ready to go! During the festival, you’ll have access to the Votemo admin platform to review voting results at any time. #industry and #market: All Votemo packages also include audience engagement tools for Q&A and polling to be used on the industry side of the festival.

Having let the train take the strain, Stuart Button, our Executive Creative Director, shares his first impressions of Cannes 2024: “Cannes is here again . . . as adland's hopefuls descend on southern #France for some much-needed vitamin D. “The commercialisation of this 70+ year old creative festival continues with more brands showing up than ever before. “Judging by the fringe event talks, AI is still top of the agenda - only this time, it's less: 'We're all doomed!' and more 'we're all going to be rich!'. “As well as AI and D&I, sports is sticking its hand in the air for some much-needed attention (Stagwell's awesome sports beach by Cheerful Twentyfirst is now double the size). “What with the #Euros and #Olympics coming to #France (although you wouldn't know it - it's pretty mute from what I've seen), they’re even parading the old torch thingy down La Croisette tomorrow. “The other topic that's still going strong, is that dirty word 'effectiveness'. The thing that all clients want and creatives struggle to care about. “With stuff like ‘advertising value chain’, ‘digital waste’ and ‘closed-loop attribution’ being thrown around . . . If I didn't know any better, I'd say marketeers were making up stuff just to sell more things. Sneaky little buggers. “Is it any wonder that advertising has only just dropped off the top spot of the UK's LEAST trusted industry for the first time in a decade. “According to Simon Stone, of LoopMe GM International: ‘There is no point in creating the next Guinness Surfer if fragmented viewing habits, skippable ads, and decreasing attention spans prevent it from being seen. Creative remains essential to branding, but only when supercharged with data-driven media placement.' “I mean, I'd love to write the next Guinness Surfer ad - effectiveness be damned! “But then, what's the point in doing what we're doing if absolutely no one cares? And, according to Mark Ritson, no one does. “Hey ho - off to my first event I go.” #cannes2024 #canneslions #events #festivalofcreativity

The ShowHeroes team is currently at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and CEO Ilhan Zengin has thoughts on this year’s atmosphere. This year’s Cannes Lions is very different from last year’s, where caution was the dominant feeling. But is it roaring excitement this year, or something more nuanced? Read his thoughts alongside other industry leaders in Digiday. 👇 https://lnkd.in/edYn9KD9 #Cannes2024 #CannesLions #digitaladvertising #digitalmarketing

Ever thought about how a ticket stub tells a story? We cherish them as souvenirs, triggers of memories from concerts or sports events. But consider this: these stubs themselves have tales - from the adrenaline-fueled environment they exist in. Imagine leveraging this narrative for personalized attendee experiences. Each ticket stub is a tool to craft unforgettable events.
