Finding face-to-face alternatives with Informa

When events – their main source of lead generation – became impossible in a pandemic, Informa Connect got creative fast.

Buying an interactive ad space and getting 50 leads to buying interactive ad space, thought leadership articles and getting 100+ leads.

Embedded lead capture forms in their digital magazines and integrated with their form provider

Why it worked

When a new target market suddenly emerged, Telenet needed to act quickly to capitalize on generating leads and building trust.
