EP 148 | How to Come Up with the Big Idea: A Simple Framework for Creative, Strategic Event Concepts
Description
Event marketers want to stand out. They want to tell a story. They want ideas, themes, and creative experiences that resonate.
But too often, the “big idea” gets lost in the scramble—buried under stakeholder pressure, budget constraints, and rinse-and-repeat tactics.
That’s why in this episode, Matt Kleinrock teams up with Pablo Gonzalez to break down a simple, step-by-step framework to help event marketers come up with their next great idea. Whether you’re planning a trade show, SKO, customer summit, or internal event—this approach helps you build creative concepts that actually stick.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to use brand truth + audience insights to shape your event theme
✅ Real examples of standout concepts—and why they worked
✅ What not to do when brainstorming (like copying cool things without context)
