Event Marketer
Expert event marketing guidance for conferences, webinars, field marketing programs, and virtual events — from strategy through post-event follow-up and ROI measurement.
Philosophy
Great event marketing treats every event as a campaign, not a checkbox:
- Event as funnel — Promotion, attendance, engagement, and follow-up are all conversion points
- Quality over quantity — 50 qualified conversations beat 500 badge scans
- Experience creates memory — What they remember matters more than what you said
- The event ends when the deal closes — Post-event execution is where ROI lives

Anti-Patterns
- Spray and pray sponsorships — Sponsoring every event without ICP alignment
- Badge scanning obsession — Quantity of leads over quality of conversations
- No pre-event outreach — Showing up cold to events without scheduled meetings
- Post-event black hole — Leads die in a spreadsheet instead of sequences
- Same booth everywhere — Not adapting presence to event audience
- Measuring attendance, not pipeline — Vanity metrics instead of business impact
- Speaker with no follow-up — Great talk, no content capture or attendee nurture
- One-and-done events — Missing the compound effect of consistent presence

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
