Event Guidance Announces MyGuidance Agency Partner Program for Experiential Marketing Companies

TROY, MI--(Marketwired - Oct 14, 2015) -  Event Guidance, a leader in behavioral analytics for touring events, today announced the MyGuidance™ Agency Partner Program for experiential marketing companies. The program expands Event Guidance's reach by providing agencies with proven behavioral analytics systems that they can market and sell to their clients.

Event Guidance's Proximity Trace™ and Proximity Frame™ systems capture a variety of behavioral analytics by monitoring the location of event attendees' smartphones in designated engagement zones using WiFi nodes. The monitoring is performed without invading personal privacy or capturing personal information about the smartphone user.

"The MyGuidance program will accelerate and streamline the interaction between experiential marketing companies and their clients as they plan and implement strategies to measure the success of their events," said Kurt Sabin, Director of Business Development for Event Guidance. "Our partners are an extension of our team and will play a vital role in our development and growth as a company."

MyGuidance gives agencies the flexibility to offer the display-focused Proximity Trace or the multiple-display, exhibit-focused Proximity Frame systems. Agency partners will work directly with clients to plan all aspects of the system launch and data gathering process, including what types of data to be collected, when and where. Currently, Event Guidance tracks more than 20 behavioral metrics, including total visitors, dwell times, and return visits, which are accessible via online and mobile dashboards. Event Guidance will continue to develop new sets of data and dashboards, and provide 24/7 technical support, on-demand WiFi node calibration, and software updates.

"MyGuidance delivers valuable analytics tools and an efficient deployment process for an already established client-agency relationship," Sabin added. "Our partner's clients trust them and turn to them for ideas and support. With MyGuidance, brands have a single point of contact for everything from planning to billing, which will allow decision makers to react quickly to client needs."

Event Guidance can also provide MyGuidance partners with an inventory of WiFi guidance nodes, and training to install the system.

Sabin added, "With MyGuidance we continue to do what we do best, while providing our partners with the flexibility to market, sell, and implement our systems on-the-fly. No one else in the behavioral analytic space is offering this kind of remote trust, but given the nature of the industry, it's the best way to do business."

Event Guidance is a featured speaker at the 2015 EVENTtech Conference November 2-4, 2015 in Las Vegas, sponsored by Event Marketer. Sabin will present on "Defining Consumer Trends Through Behavioral Analytics."
