Case Study ofMetropol Event Venue
Metropol Event Venue has the most beautiful and diverse collection of wedding venues in Los Angeles. They are an upscale establishment that helps to celebrate a number of events including weddings, special occasions, and corporate events.
Metropol features four unique and luxurious ballrooms of varying sizes in two different locations.
The Problem
CUSTOMER’S CHALLENGE
Metropol Event Venue reached out to Alecan as a result of some challenges they faced. The sheer beauty of their ballrooms spoke for themselves but they were in need of a more uniform branding strategy as well as an increase in event inquiries.
After a thorough analysis of their current digital marketing efforts, we established a number of issues that required immediate attention. Their website did not accurately portray the charm of the Metropol venues and brand. There was room for improvement in earning more event inquiries. Their local competitors were tapping into the market share they once had, and there was no streamlined communication process with regards to where their budget was being spent and how each channel was performing.
The Solution
THE APPROACH WE TOOK
In order to build trust and a long-term relationship with the customer, we started off with media buying ad campaigns. This allowed us to acquire more qualified leads that helped to immediately increase revenue.
As a result, Metropol Event Venue handed us the keys to their entire digital marketing budget. Having one agency handle their entire digital marketing campaign made sense for them as it offered streamlined communication, quicker ability to adapt to changes and a unified vision for their strategy which ultimately increased the return on their investment.

Website Redesign
If there’s one thing our team has learned after years of helping out wedding venues and reception halls, it’s that your website and web presence must properly align with the looks and value of your venue and answer each visitor’s most important questions.
Their old website was lacking on visuals and selling signals to visitors. There was minimal visual appeal and it provided a poor user experience. This meant that their website was falling short on its potential for earning more event inquiries.
In the wedding venue industry, our experience shows us that more than 60% of website visitors are from mobile devices. Metropol’s website needed a complete overhaul to be properly optimized for the mobile experience.
Website Redesign Goals:
- Justify the visual aesthetic of their venue on the web.
- Optimized for search engines.
- Offer a great user experience.
- Optimized for better conversion.
