CHALLENGES

Before Timely, Awin’s event calendar was a PDF document that was created internally, and sent out to customers once a year listing all their global events. 

Once the COVID-19 pandemic started and progressed, they looked for something easier to update than the classical, but time-consuming, PDF format.

Their old solutions and document-based calendars were just not working anymore. “It was just not doable due to all the event cancellations and rescheduling that were happening during the pandemic”, said Alexandra about the manual updates and redesigns of all their several calendars.

Being a large international marketing company, when looking for event management software, Awin's main challenge was to find a solution that would work for all teams, and could be used on a global scale.

In sum, Awin’s goals included:

Optimize calendar management for global activities
Build a centralized calendar that updates and syncs automatically
Create a calendar that is easily customized to fit design guidelines
Facilitate event discovery and calendar navigation to all audiences 
Promote global corporate events more effectively
Boost brand and event awareness leading to product sales
