Published in C&IT’s June print edition, out this week, our research reveals that while a distinct minority - four agency respondents - said that none of their clients asked them to provide financial measurement of their events in 2012, the remainder said that a varying proportion of corporates were asking them for proof of ROI.
Client-side event planners are also increasingly demanding that agencies incorporate social media into their event, with an average 26% of clients asking for platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin to be used before, during and after events.
More than 40% of those corporate event planners surveyed said that they handled more events in 2012 than in 2011.
Budgetary constraints continue to be the biggest challenge for agencies, with 59% of respondents listing the issue as their biggest challenge.
