The campaign

One journey, connected across every touchpoint.

A potential buyer could first encounter China Trade Week Kenya through out-of-home advertising, meet the message again on their phone through targeted digital campaigns, and then receive timely reminders that moved them closer to registration and attendance.

That consistency across physical and digital touchpoints built familiarity, strengthened authority and accelerated the journey from awareness to action.

Awareness

High-visibility out-of-home placements introduced the event at scale and established its presence in the market.

Consideration

Targeted digital communication reinforced the value proposition for buyers, industry professionals and business decision-makers.

Action

Registration prompts and well-timed reminders converted recognition into intent—and intent into attendance.

Experience

The strongest campaign still needs a valuable product. Four shows, international participation and structured matchmaking ensured that the promise was fulfilled on the show floor.

What made it work

The campaign connected message, audience and experience.

Each channel had a role, but every channel told the same story: this was a credible, valuable business platform worth attending.

The right message

A clear value proposition built around sourcing, partnerships, market access and opportunity.

The right audience

Buyer-focused targeting kept communications relevant to people with a reason to participate.

Connected channels
