• **DOI:** https://doi.org/10.21427/D7BV19

Abstract (scraped)
The research explores marketing strategies within the events sector through interviews with professionals. The study identified five key themes: marketing channels employed and avoided; marketing's future direction; time-sensitivity considerations; an integrated planning approach; and challenges event marketers face.

Key findings reveal *"the changing effectiveness within traditional marketing methods."* As digital marketing budgets expand, the research suggests marketers may revisit conventional communication approaches to balance their promotional strategies.
