Cisco’s Success with Webinars

Overview

Cisco, a global leader in networking and IT, sought to strengthen its position as a thought leader in the technology sector while driving high-quality lead generation. With a diverse product portfolio and a global customer base, Cisco needed a strategic partner to help them design and execute webinars that could engage a wide audience, generate valuable leads, and reinforce their brand authority.

To achieve these goals, Cisco partnered with Jetaa7, a leading B2B marketing agency with extensive experience in hosting successful webinars and online events. Together, they developed a robust webinar strategy tailored to Cisco’s target audience of IT professionals, business leaders, and decision-makers.

Challenges

1. Global Audience Engagement: Cisco needed to engage a diverse, global audience across different regions and time zones, making it challenging to deliver content that was relevant and accessible to all.
2. Complex Content Delivery: Cisco’s offerings in networking, cybersecurity, and collaboration technologies are highly technical. The challenge was to present this complex information in a way that was engaging, understandable, and valuable to the audience.
3. Lead Quality: Cisco wanted to ensure that the webinars not only attracted large numbers of attendees but also generated high-quality leads that could be nurtured through the sales funnel.

Webinars were crafted around trending issues in networking, cybersecurity, and digital transformation, ensuring that the content was both timely and valuable.
2. Expert Speaker Lineup: Jetaa7 helped Cisco curate a lineup of industry experts, including Cisco’s own thought leaders, to deliver compelling presentations. The inclusion of external industry figures added credibility and broader appeal to the webinars.
3. Interactive Elements: To enhance engagement, Jetaa7 incorporated interactive features such as live Q&A sessions, polls, and case studies within the webinars. These elements allowed Cisco to directly address the audience’s concerns and adapt content in real-time based on feedback.
4. Global Reach and Accessibility: Jetaa7 ensured that the webinars were accessible to Cisco’s global audience by offering multiple sessions across different time zones. Recorded sessions were made available on-demand, allowing attendees to access the content at their convenience.
5. Lead Nurturing and Follow-Up: Post-webinar, Jetaa7 implemented a lead nurturing strategy that included personalized follow-up emails, targeted content recommendations, and invitations to further engagements with Cisco’s sales team. This ensured that high-quality leads were effectively guided through the sales funnel.

Cisco’s partnership with Jetaa7 led to remarkable outcomes:
