Turn Trade Fairs Into Revenue: The Event Marketing Playbook for E-Mobility Brands with Victoria Ulbricht


Listen Later

Welcome to the e-Mobility Marketing Podcast. In this episode, Theo speaks with Victoria Ulbricht, an event sales and activation specialist who supports renewable energy and e-mobility companies in turning trade fairs into real sales outcomes.

Most brands invest heavily in booths, travel, logistics, and sponsorships—but leave without a single measurable deal because they rely on hope instead of preparation, positioning, and structured follow-up.

Victoria breaks down a practical model: start 4–6 weeks before the event with a focused story built around your ICP (ideal customer profile), design a booth element that triggers curiosity and conversations, qualify fast using prepared questions, and close the loop with an immediate, personalized follow-up automation.

She explains why curiosity beats brochures, why preparation beats charisma, how to combine sales with engineering voices onsite, how to avoid “dead-booth syndrome,” and how to measure event ROI using deal math and ICP-qualified conversations.

This episode is a no-nonsense blueprint for founders, SMEs, scale-ups, and technical teams who want events to function like pipeline engines rather than expensive field trips.
