What made you decide to sponsor or exhibit at brightonSEO?
brightonSEO has always been one of the standout events in the digital marketing calendar, so sponsoring it felt like a natural fit for us. It's an opportunity to spend time with the wider marketing community, meet potential clients and partners, connect with talented people in the industry and showcase the work we're doing at Connective3.
As a business that's passionate about innovation and sharing knowledge, we also wanted to support an event that brings together some of the brightest minds in search and digital marketing.
What stood out most about the event?
One of the biggest things that stands out is just how international the event is. It's incredible to see so many marketers travelling from across the world to be there, creating a real sense that you're part of a global industry.
The atmosphere is always brilliant too - everyone is friendly, welcoming and genuinely happy to chat. And of course, being by the seaside adds to the experience as well, with fantastic talks from world-leading marketers, plenty of networking opportunities and social events that make it much more than just a conference.
Did sponsoring brightonSEO help you meet the right people?
brightonSEO is one of the few events where it feels like the entire search and digital marketing community comes together in one place. It's always great catching up with existing clients, industry connections and familiar faces, while also meeting new people from a wide range of businesses. The conversations are consistently valuable, whether they're about the latest industry developments, common business challenges or opportunities to collaborate. It gives us a real snapshot of what's happening across the industry while helping us build meaningful new relationships.
Did you see any tangible results from sponsoring?
In terms of both lead generation and brand awareness, brightonSEO consistently delivers. It's an excellent platform for starting conversations with prospective clients, strengthening existing relationships and speaking with those working in the search community. Every event creates valuable opportunities that continue well beyond the conference itself.
How does brightonSEO compare with other events you've sponsored or attended?
For us, it's the people. The openness and friendliness of everyone attending creates an environment that's genuinely enjoyable as well as commercially valuable.
The scale of the event also sets it apart. With training courses, expert talks, networking sessions and social events all taking place across the week, there's something for everyone, regardless of where they are in their career or what area of marketing they specialise in.
Would you sponsor brightonSEO again? Why?
Definitely! We've proudly sponsored brightonSEO twice a year for the past five years, and we fully intend to continue doing so. Every event delivers a worthwhile experience for our team, valuable conversations, great brand exposure and the chance to be part of such a welcoming and passionate community. It's a fixture in our calendar that we genuinely look forward to every time.
