Support this further using social media posts, website banners, e-newsletter sole sponsorships and e-shots to effectively drive interested readers to your content.

For the fourth case study we provided a lead generation campaign delivered over a three-month duration.
- Panel partnership: discuss a topical industry issue with a Railway Gazette Group editor, a representative from your company and a panel of experts, educating rail professionals around the world who have signed up to watch the session. Attendees agree to share contact details with all panel partners at the Rail Broadcast Week sign-up page, allowing you to identify potential customers and generate sales opportunities.
- Promotional campaign: feature on a wallpaper banner and lead banner for four months in the run up to Rail Broadcast Week, four social media posts and a total of six e-shots promoting the broadcast and on-demand broadcast, along with e-newsletter sponsorships. The promotional campaign strives to drive potential leads to your session.
Content Creation
The final example, is a content creation campaign with promotion to North America. Here we offered:

- Promotional campaign: three Railway Gazette International e-newsletter sponsorships and three e-shots with unlimited content of your choice, alongside lead and MPU banners dispersing 300,000 impressions geo-targeted to North America to promote and drive traffic to the White Paper.
