Creative Community Growth and Experiential Marketing for B2B Conference

Challenge:

Approach:

- Deep Dive into Community Insights: Our first step was to immerse ourselves in understanding both the WordPress community’s values and StellarWP’s historical engagement efforts. This foundation allowed us to tailor our approach to genuinely resonate with the event attendees.
- Innovative Brand Activation Concept: Inspired by a mix of creativity and strategic thinking, we developed a unique brand activation involving custom-designed magic 8-balls and candles. These weren’t just swag; they symbolized StellarWP’s commitment to being the answer to WordPress challenges (magic 8-ball) and lighting the way in digital innovation (candles).
- Leveraging Analytics for Engagement: Armed with real-time analytics and a commitment to iterative testing, we launched our activation at WordCamp US. This data-driven approach ensured we could adapt in real-time, maximizing engagement and brand visibility throughout the event.

Tools Used

The success of StellarWP at WordCamp US was more than just a marketing win; it was a testament to the power of understanding your audience and engaging with them on a level that transcends traditional advertising. The magic 8-ball and candle concept struck a chord because it was rooted in the community’s ethos and StellarWP’s brand values.

Reflecting on the event, the moment we knew we had struck gold was seeing attendees sharing their magic 8-balls and candles on social media, tagging StellarWP, and recounting their experiences at our booth.
