HarriX – Strategic Localized Event
Launched a proprietary event series, under the banner of ‘HarriX’, hosted in a strategic market (NYC) inviting senior Operation, HR, and Finance leaders for an evening of networking and a hosted panel. The panel was intentionally comprised of senior leaders from highly-regarded brands, legal, and company subject-matter experts from Harri. Simultaneously, we recorded all the footage to repurpose for a broadcast a short time after to the broader TAM.
Content Marketing Sequencing & Strategy
From the recorded HarriX session, we then built a demand generation campaign that broadcasted the session with the feel of a ‘live’ experience.
Upon completion of the broadcast, we created an interactive recap and on-demand access for team-wide use and for audience engagement. All of these touch-points are choreographed to accumulate engagement and generate an opportunity to ID clear intent.
