Crafting an Exceptional Event Marketing Strategy with Amy Holtzman - Ep 56

B2B marketers keep making the same mistakes when it comes to events and then end up asking why they didn’t see any ROI. Thankfully, we knew just the right person to help you improve your field marketing game… Amy Holtzman is the Chief Marketing Officer of CHEQ, the leader in go-to-market security, and one of the best B2B marketing leaders in SaaS, especially when it comes to creating unforgettable experiences. Amy joins co-hosts Craig Rosenberg and Matt Amundson to explore how to plan an event marketing strategy that doesn’t suck, why you need to think beyond the vendor booth at a conference to see real ROI, and even how traditional paid search is holding up amidst the onslaught of AI advancements. Also, Craig says something he immediately regrets, Matt makes an unsettling insinuation, and Producer Sam calls someone a naughty word. Critical Takeaways Events are still alive, if you are willing to put in the work to make them stand out. You can’t just “show up and hope.” Great booths need real strategy, creative hooks, and a human-first approach that makes people actually want to engage. Whether selling B2B or B2C, even strong demand dies in broken systems. Want revenue? Get your backend in order first so you can deliver remarkably good customer experiences Prospects are already using ChatGPT to build vendor shortlists. If your GTM doesn’t account for AI-powered discovery, you’re already behind. Despite the hype around AI, traditional paid search drove record enterprise deals for CHEQ in Q1 of this year, especially long-tail keywords. Don’t ditch the old toolbox just yet.
