Our Work : Case Studies

  Webcast Portal

eeTECHbriefs are a series of focused, concise webcasts that empower electrical engineers with knowledge and educational resources necessary to stay current with the latest product developments, application solutions and technology changes.

eeTECHbriefs have helped the Hearst Corporation continue to push the envelope in online lead generation and tracking in addition to providing a valuable, cost-effective marketing platform for vendors.

Maximize Online ROI

Hearst Corporation, one of the nation’s largest diversified media companies, needed to develop an online counterpart to their print publications targeted at electronic engineers. The content had to be interactive, easy to produce and compelling to the electronic engineering community.

Most importantly, user metrics and generated leads needed to have extensive tracking capabilities and integrate with existing databases. Email marketing would also be used extensively to promote new vendor webcasts and the site in general.

The Brief Solution

Enter the eeTECHbrief (www.eeTECHbrief.com)—a series of focused, concise webcasts that empower electrical engineers with knowledge and educational resources necessary to stay current with the latest product developments, application solutions and technology changes.

From a marketing standpoint, vendors can customize webcasts with their corporate identity and reach a wider audience than they could with traditional print media, and at a more economical and longer lasting timeline.

In its first year, eeTECHbrief.com received nearly 40,000 visitors while more than 10,000 users registered with the portal. Dozens and dozens of vendors are involved, and these figures are continually increasing

It’s a Win-Win

We developed a format that’s a win-win situation for the end-user and sales teams alike. End-users receive the information they need, when they want it. Sales teams receive qualified leads and real-time statistics on attendance and viewing behavior.

The bonus: eeTECHbriefs are very affordable. Unlike other low-cost sponsorship opportunities eeTECHbriefs are turnkey solutions that allow sponsors to focus on messaging and content, rather than event logistics and promotion. All front and backend set-up is already handled for the sponsor. No hassles, just instant results.
