Bingeable Webinar Series Inspires A Quick-And-Delightful Experience.

Bingeable Webinar Series Inspires A Quick-And-Delightful Experience.

The Experian team knew that buyers’ attention spans were rapidly shrinking, however, they still expected valuable thought leadership content. This inspired Experian to create “Sip and Solve,” a webinar series featuring 15-minute episodes of easy-to-digest content that audiences could enjoy during short breaks throughout their day.

“Sip and Solve” was created to delve into some of the target audience’s most prevalent challenges and pain points, offering actionable insights and strategies that they could implement within their organizations. Although all episodes air live, they are then archived on a dedicated section of the website, so visitors can view them at any time. In order to maximize reach and engagement, Experian also plans to reuse individual episodes for nurture campaigns and for cross-channel promotion.

On average, more than 30% of registrants have signed up for more than one session. To ensure that the series fully aligns to buyer needs, Experian regularly surveys the audience for feedback, including input on new topics they want experts to address.
