🎯 Project Objective
The client was preparing for participation in MEDICA, the world’s largest medical technology trade fair held in Germany. To maximise their return on this investment, the goal was to:
Identify relevant exhibiting companies that match the client’s ideal customer profile
Find and engage with decision-makers and influencers responsible for equipment and process optimization
Pre-book meetings at the client's booth or at the prospect’s stand during the trade fair
For those not attending MEDICA, arrange follow-up calls after the event
💡 What We Did
Conducted manual analysis of MEDICA exhibitor lists to pinpoint highly relevant targets
Researched and contacted engineering, operations, and procurement leaders via LinkedIn and email
Customized outreach to qualify interest and secure on-site meetings
Scheduled pre-arranged conversations at MEDICA and continued follow-ups post-exhibition
Reactivated past connections — companies the client had interacted with before but hadn’t yet converted into customers

✅ Impact
Greatly enhanced the ROI from trade show participation by transforming it from passive to strategic
Reached and engaged all major players in the niche market — many of whom rarely stop by booths spontaneously
Established a pipeline of qualified prospects for long-term follow-up, especially critical in a capital equipment industry with slow buying cycles
Helped the client reconnect with previously cold leads and re-ignite high-value conversations
💬 Client Quote
"Participating in a major trade show requires a serious investment. Thanks to this campaign, we didn’t have to rely on luck or foot traffic. We entered MEDICA with a calendar full of qualified meetings and left with six concrete sales opportunities. This process changed how we approach events."
