Campaign idea

The Employee Multiplier

Activate every employee of every exhibitor and sponsor, not just the one booth contact.

What it is

You sign a sponsor and you get one contact. That company has 200 employees, most of them on LinkedIn, most of them connected to precisely the audience you are trying to reach.

The employee multiplier turns one relationship into a roster. Everyone attending from that company - and ideally everyone who works there - gets a personalised, one-tap asset that says they are involved.

Timing: 4-6 weeks out, once stand teams are confirmed.

Why it works

  • Employee posts consistently outperform company-page posts on reach and engagement.
  • It costs the company nothing and gives its people a reason to look good publicly.
  • One booth contact becoming fifty advocates changes the economics of the whole sponsorship.
  • It works for your own team too - your staff are the first roster to activate.

How to run it

  1. 1

    Get the attending roster, not just the contact

    Ask for everyone who will be on the stand. That list is the starting roster.

  2. 2

    Personalise per person

    Their name, their photo, their company, your event. A shared graphic gets posted by nobody; a personal one gets posted by most.

  3. 3

    Route it through the company champion

    One person internally forwards the links. Internal forwarding beats an email from an outside organiser every time.

  4. 4

    Extend beyond the booth team

    Offer the whole company a 'we're exhibiting at X' asset. Marketing usually says yes.

  5. 5

    Report per company

    'Your team drove 60 registrations across 22 posts.' That number sells next year's stand.

What you need

  • Employee rosters from exhibitors and sponsors
  • Per-person personalised assets
  • An internal champion at each company

What to measure

  • Employees activated per company
  • Posts per activated employee
  • Registrations attributed per company
