Challenge
Back in July, the brand brought to Mexico one of its most important events, the Oracle CloudWorld. The conference consists on explaining to clients and business partners how cloud technology simplifies business running and which are the benefits of cloud computing for the companyâs IT solutions.
Oracle needed to reach businesspeople and position the brand; it was challenging for it meant to expand its target beyond its regular core business audience.
Oracle CloudWorld is an interdisciplinary event and its goal was reaching decision-making executives not only from IT but also from other areas as Marketing, Sales, Customer Service, E-Commerce, Finance and Human Resources.
Solution
In this context, Oracle chose LinkedIn to promote the event and to pursue its biggest challenge: make its clientsâ business more efficient at the lowest possible cost.
Oracle selected the Sponsored InMail format to invite professionals from different areas to the Oracle CloudWorld event to be held in Mexico City on July 9th. The message was intended for Marketing, Sales, Services, Finance, Operations, Human Resources and IT professionals. A segmentation based on âJob functionâ and âLocationâ was placed, reaching the intended target limited to Mexico.
InMail helped delivering the message; encouraged users to learn more about how the Cloud would impact in their future business and invited them to register for free to the event with a clear and simple call-to-action.
