Driving digital engagement and innovation at the SCDM 2024 Annual Conference

THE CHALLENGE

Enhancing engagement through omnichannel innovation

The Society for Clinical Data Management (SCDM) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing clinical data management and clinical data science. Established in 1994, SCDM fosters a global community of professionals committed to promoting best practices, education, and innovation in clinical research. 
 

MCI Brussels is a long-standing partner for SCDM and in 2024, we created a unique omnichannel Marketing campaign for the Annual Conference. The aim was to build on the annual conference’s legacy as the premier event for clinical data professionals. Our creative strategy focused on how to deliver a seamless experience for a diverse group of attendees, speakers and exhibitors while increasing engagement and transforming the event into a hub of learning, connection and innovation.

THE SOLUTION

Leveraging omnichannel strategies and creative storytelling

MCI Brussels employed a comprehensive approach focused on omnichannel marketing, digital innovation and compelling storytelling to enhance the event experience, connect all stakeholders and bring the patient-focused theme to life. 

Our omnichannel marketing strategy ensured consistent engagement across all stages of the event. Before the event, targeted email campaigns, personalised content and social media engagement drove anticipation and boosted registrations. On-site, the event used real-time social media updates, live streaming of key sessions and a dedicated event app to keep participants informed and actively engaged. After the event, momentum was sustained with follow-up emails, video highlights and curated content to deepen community connections. 

Digital innovation employing cutting-edge tools played a pivotal role. Advanced analytics optimised marketing performance and tailored content to specific audience segments. Interactive technologies, such as live polls, Q&A sessions, and chat tools, encouraged participation and ensured attendees felt heard and involved. 

The theme, "putting patients at the heart of clinical data management," was brought to life through creative storytelling. Keynote sessions and digital platforms featured patient stories that humanised the technical aspects of clinical data. Dynamic, data-driven visuals and immersive video content reinforced the event’s message while capturing the audience’s attention.
