- Post your event recap video natively on social media platforms where your audience is most active. Develop social copy and captions that use specific language and hashtags to stir recognition from past attendees as they scroll through their feeds.
- Keep the momentum by sharing your post-event video in the weeks following your event. Repurpose snippets into ads and sponsored social posts. Integrate the video prominently on your event website and in your event follow-up emails. The more you share, embed, and promote your event video, the more opportunities for attendees to re-engage.
