Frequently asked questions about corporate events

Answers to the most important questions regarding the planning, target audiences, formats and impact of corporate events.

A corporate event is an occasion organised by a company to position its brand in the eyes of external stakeholders, nurture business relationships and generate enthusiasm – whether in person, in a hybrid format or online.

Corporate events strengthen brand loyalty, build trust among customers and partners, and create personal experiences that digital communication alone can rarely achieve.

Particularly for anniversaries, product launches, customer events, sales campaigns or strategic repositioning – wherever the aim is to engage external audiences.

Typical formats include customer and partner events, company anniversaries, in-house exhibitions, dealer presentations, roadshows for external audiences, and hybrid customer days.

Primarily for external stakeholder groups with a direct connection to the company: customers, retailers, partners and suppliers. Employees can be involved as a secondary audience.

A corporate event is aimed at external stakeholders. If the primary target audience is exclusively internal, we refer to it as a motivational or employee event.

A corporate event is based on a specific company occasion. A brand activation engages a brand’s target audience directly through the product experience – usually without a traditional corporate event.

A clear strategic objective, a creative guiding principle, consistent brand positioning, integration into the overall communication strategy, and a demonstrable contribution to business objectives such as customer loyalty or sales success.

Yes. Hybrid and digital corporate events expand reach, enable international participation and are particularly effective for roadshows or global customer engagement.

From participant feedback, NPS, qualitative feedback, leads, follow-up business and brand impact – always aligned with the predefined targets.

The cost depends on the number of participants, the venue, the technical requirements, the dramaturgy and the level of production detail. We develop concepts to suit a range of budgets.
