About Arran

Hi, I am Arran Coole, founder of ASP. ASP, now in it's 10th year, builds and manages over 230 event websites a year. In addition, this year we also set up ASP consulting a division to help with all aspects of marketing from copy writing through to onsite event branding.

I occasionally contribute articles to the industry press writing from the perspective that digital marketing supports face-to-face events and can be considered a friend not a foe.

ASP is very dedicated to the events industry and we sponsor many events: AEO Conference, AEO Awards, the Marketing Forum, Directors Forum and also the IAEE SW Chapter Annual Cocktail drinks at Expo Expo.

ASP is not a company to sit still, in addition to the many events websites we do we are branching into new areas such as publications and directory websites.

10th Birthday Party!

Well the event went off without a hitch! What a great venue and great staff too. Lot's of yorkshire pudding with beef and horseradish sauce was eaten along with lambs chops. The Great British buffet! Here's to the ASP cocktail!

The Great ASP Road Trip

Phew - in a bid to save both money and CO2 emissions, we've just been on a trip from Las Vegas to Dallas and Austin in our new company car - A Totoyta Prius Electric Hybrid. Flying would have meant 1 tonne of CO2 and $1,000 plus a rental car anyhow. Driving costs $200 in gas (petrol to you Brits!) and half the pollution. Ok so driving 3,000 miles took some time but we stopped and looked at the Hoover Dam, the meteor crater, Roswell and a pretified forest along the way.

Driving along at…

My Page

I've enhanced my page on event crowd, really easy compared to the other social networking sites.

Or as my colleagues 13 year old son would say:

"You pimped your profile good - that's sick!" - I'm so Gen Y.

The combination of news content and f-2-f.

I'm very impressed with a new website we've built (well I would be wouldn't I!). This is for a show, which although the content may not be for everyone, has an excellent online presence.

This website demonstrates our exhibition platform combined with a news archive.

How do you get exhibitors to follow up their leads?

Having worked for a large exhibition organiser, I know that many exhibitors simply do not follow up their leads. How many of you out there have had exhibitors cancel their presence because they did not get a good enough return on their investment and once you get to the base of it, they simply did not follow up the leads they generated? I have even had a company cancel their presence the following year because they lost their leads between the show and the office. "We didn't get any new busines… Continue

Life's Ultimate Test

Life isn’t always easy. Some say life is a struggle, a challenge. We often hear the saying “up a creek without a paddle.” Life can be a test, you’re either prepared or unprepared. Who we become as adults is greatly influenced by the way we are raised as children. The abilities and skills to survive and excel in this test of life are forever ingrained in us by our parents and educators. In this fast-paced ever evolving world, the prepared are able to rise to the challenges of life and fortune of… Continue

An Interview with the New Executive Director for the Green Meeting Industry Council

"Sustainability is our vision. Corporate responsibility is our obligation. Green Meetings are our strategy." That’s how my interview with Tamara Kennedy-Hill, the new Executive Director of the Green Meeting Industry Council (GMIC) ended. That, and: “Profit is good—but it’s also about the environment and your impact on the community. Have you left the community you were in better off or worse off?” That is the way to define the movement to build sustainable events. It is about more than the pl… Continue
