Background

Geo Connect Asia is a leading event for the growing geospatial, positioning, and location intelligence markets in APAC. Alongside three co-located events—Drones & Uncrewed Asia, Marine Hydro Asia, and Digital Construction Asia — it features panel discussions, exhibitions, networking opportunities, and tech talks.

The event aims to foster innovation and collaboration while building awareness, growing its social media presence, and engaging industry professionals across various sectors.

The Challenge

When Geo Connect Asia partnered with Brew Interactive, they faced a set of unique challenges:

  • Limited Social Media Presence: The event needed to significantly grow its following on Facebook and LinkedIn to reach a wider audience and increase engagement.
  • Competitive Event Landscape: The event was held during the same period as Taylor Swift’s concert in the region, which impacted potential delegates’ willingness to travel due to higher accommodation and travel costs.
  • Multi-Event Management: While managing social media pages for Geo Connect Asia and Drones & Uncrewed Asia, the other co-located events lacked dedicated platforms, requiring consolidated content management under Geo Connect Asia’s brand.

Our Approach

Brew Interactive designed and implemented a robust social media and advertising strategy to tackle these challenges and deliver measurable growth.

1. Social Media Content Development

We crafted a tailored content calendar featuring eye-catching visuals designed to deliver engaging and informative content.

3. Prioritising LinkedIn for B2B Engagement

We executed a targeted media buy strategy across Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google (including SEM, Display, and Performance Max campaigns).

Given the event’s B2B nature, we concentrated efforts on LinkedIn to grow followers and enhance engagement. To achieve this, we crafted engaging, high-quality assets tailored specifically for LinkedIn’s professional audience.

By delivering visually appealing and informative content, we effectively captured the attention of Geo Connect Asia’s most important stakeholders and fostered meaningful engagement.

4. Adaptive Campaign Management

To maximise campaign performance, we conducted weekly check-ins, analysing ad performance and adjusting strategies in real-time. This agility allowed us to quickly optimise underperforming campaigns and double down on high-performing ones, ensuring continuous improvement throughout the campaign period.
