El papel de los eventos en las estrategias de marketing y comunicación comercial
Abstract
This research addresses the growing role of events in the field of marketing and commercial communication. Under the paradigm of experiential marketing and from a fully consumer-centered approach, the degree of exploitation of the experiential and communicative potential of events in the commercial field is analyzed. The main objective described is addressed through an exploratory and descriptive study of the integration of events in a sample of commercial communication strategies and campaigns drawn from the awarded cases with the highest award in the “Efficiency in Commercial Communication Awards” of the 2017 edition. The results reveal an incipient integration of events in the field described. Spite of this, the analysis carried out and the bibliography consulted allow us to corroborate the key role of events as an optimal tool for generating experiences at the service of marketing and communication objectives.
