Audience Advocates, Engagement Experts, and Kick-Ass Experiences (ft. DJ Hanson and John Sideris | Founders, BlueprintNYC

No More Bad Events

OPENING QUOTE:

“One of the most innovative things that we have embraced is diversity. Diversity in background and diversity in culture and diversity in thought really is what creates this most incredible product, like this blend of thinking and people and ultimately ways of engaging audiences that we've never really thought about before, and that truly is exciting to me.”

SUMMARY

A content-focused episode, No More Bad Events takes a look at the hardcore, brass tack, foundational elements that are essential to producing nothing but a great event.

Guests DJ Hanson and John Sideris, founders of Blueprint NYC-- a prestigious live, digital, and hybrid events production company-- discuss the power of immersive learning experiences.

From self-led experiences to choose-your-own-adventure approaches, they are advocates for having attendees help in the content selection. They no doubt believe that it encourages engagement simply because they’ve had a hand in it.

They’re also big advocates for extending the reach of the meeting beyond the actual meeting. These fierce digital and engagement experts have developed a proprietary platform called Bluebird, which utilizes interactive features to keep internal audiences engaged after and between events. It’s got the ability to facilitate two-way conversations, push live updates, and provide training. It’s a perfect tool for connecting teams and ensuring consistent messaging across touchpoints… and across time.

And there’s so much more, including strategies for kick-ass experiences. We invite you to listen to this thought-provoking episode, especially if you’re looking for innovative ways to engage your audience and make your next project the best one yet. It’s a blueprint, courtesy of Blueprint NYC, for success. Check it out.
