According to a recent Adweek article, nearly two thirds of marketers plan to increase spending on live events in 2019. The article drew data from Bizaboo’s Event Marketing 2019: Benchmarks and Trends Report that showed 41 percent of marketers “considered event marketing to be their top marketing channel this year.” The company’s data also showed that “62 percent of respondents plan to increase their budget for live events in 2019, by an average of 22 percent.” This is partly due to several challenges that have developed over the years such as digital ad blockers and Google or social media algorithm changes that lower organic reach.
