What is ‘NetZero Events’, the international commitment of the MICE industry? What do ChatGPT and artificial intelligence for events mean? Companies still far from defining sustainability targets in MICE
That's it! Our industry could be falling for the frenzy of influencers, as other industry have already done long ago. Here comes Word of MICE, the first global community of influencers for the MICE industry. This new company keeps a database and knowledge of key players in the MICE industry and defines promotional actions which make the most of the influence and relevance of these people. "We inspire hotels, venues, and destinations, to employ social media influencers as integral part of their brand strategy and explore the potential of influencer marketing", says its founder Mariska Kesteloo.

Word of MICE currently covers Europe, according to Mariska. It works for companies which aim to promote their services to the meetings and events industry. More than selling one-off communications (x euros per tweet, as we sometimes see with influencers), they work on complete campaigns, helping clients manage their image and reputation. “Influencers have to be part of your strategic or long term planning”, says Mariska, “with adjustments along the way”.

The solution is especially relevant to cover a new geographical market. The company finds the right influencer and manages the whole campaign (selection, contract, definition with the influencer of the strategy, since each of them knows what works with their followers), tracking and results analysis… As an example, they are currently working with Naples, getting influencers to visit the destination and write in a creative way about it and post on social media.
