Webinars that Rocked Hall of Fame

Congrats to all of the Webinars That Rocked Winners

2019 Winner

WINNER - RED WHALE

This U.K. based company’s Deep Dives Webinar series addresses some serious medical topics in a highly engaging way. Its console is a high-resolution image of a deep sea (see what they did there), and the presentations were so funny and fun. Using greenscreens, presenters put on short, silly videos to elucidate tough concepts, lighten the mood, and keep attendees engaged.

2019 Winner

WINNER - SECURLY

This “Summer Training Series” didn't need a fancy studio or a ton of money to deliver a polished, awesome webinar. Securly used real-time screen share to give demonstrations throughout the experience, and gave audiences plenty of opportunities to get answers to their questions by putting the Q&A session front and center. So much to love about this one.

2019 Winner

WINNER - COLLETTE

Once again, Colette has made the Webinars the Rocked Hall of Fame! What can we say, great webinars don’t go unnoticed around here. This event was audio-only but included so many media elements that it stood out to us. As a travel company Collette has the best images you could possibly ask for — and they don’t shy away from using them. It went from video to audio seamlessly, but peppered video content through the entire webinar to keep it engaging. Great example of how to make an audio webinar feel like a video webinar.

2018 Winner

WINNER - PROMEGA

Is that a cabbage on the console? No, it’s a cell structure. Well, whatever it is, it looks awesome. This “Ask the Experts” webinar integrated all the perfect elements of what makes a great webinar when you're trying to turn something serious into something engaging and fun. From social sharing to live tweeting, audiences were engaged from the minute the presentation began.

2018 Finalist

FINALIST - OCTOPUS INVESTMENTS

A great webinar console is worth a thousand words, and Octopus Investments’ mini-webinar series was nothing short of fantastic. Its live introduction grabbed audiences from the start, and segwayed perfectly into a pre-recorded, informal panel discussion. The firm used slides, but those slides were image-heavy, rather than being inundated with a slew of bullets. And of course, there were plenty of content offers baked into the experience so audiences could take the next step in their content journeys with the brand. Loved this one.

FINALIST - PLANTE & MORAN

Building a really great console design does not necessarily require a lot of graphic elements or time, and Plante Moran’s digital training experience is proof. With just a high resolution image, the company delivered a branded and immersive visual experience for attendees. It used polls to keep participants engaged and offered relevant links to make sure that audiences had all the necessary information, not just from the presentation but in the webinar console as well.

FINALIST - INFO-PRO DIGITAL

A simple and clean console is sometimes all it takes, and InsuranceAge’s was elegant to say the least. This webinar included ZERO slides, proving that all you really need are interesting people talking about things that matter. Looking forward to seeing what they do next year.

2018 Finalist

FINALIST - SAP CONCUR

Another great example of a webinar console that uses less as more. Just a high-resolution image, the right amount of branding, and a well-placed logo gets the job done! To get people engaged and participating, they integrated social media into the experience. We particularly love their opening video celebrating small businesses and setting the table for the presentation to come. SAP Concur presented a slide-free, informal panel discussion that educated and entertained attendees.

FINALIST -COLLETTE

There is really so much to like about this webinar. To educate travel partners, showcase travel packages and provide certification, Collette used an informal, video discussion-style webinar. It integrated Facebook and Twitter, offered links to other interesting content and pushed a number of videos to show off travel packages. Side note: who doesn’t want to watch travel videos!? Great job Collette!

FINALIST -VALEO

Valeo does a lot of face to face automotive training. They wanted to scale their trainings to reach a wider audience. They created digital training programs that included hands on video demos training how to use auto parts. We also love how they switched back to live Q&A to answer any questions that came through.

FINALIST -AUTOTRADER

AutoTrader’s live video host had people interacting from the moment this webinar began. A pre-recorded interview session featured an informal discussion about the automotive industry. Integrated CTAs were included on the console so attendees could subscribe for services, register for upcomings webinars or book some time with a representative. We also love their use of integrated social media allowing audiences to tweet during the event.

2017 Finalist

FINALIST - bcms

BCMS created a very cool console that feels fun and engaging, but still conveys seriousness. What we particularly loved was its use of an “idea storming” tool allowing attendees to share and rank industry ideas in real time during the webinar. The company also offered plenty of content options for attendees ready to take the next step in their journeys, and an in-console “book a meeting” CTA ensured prospects ready to become customers were just a click away. Loved this webinar!

FINALIST - WANDISCO

GREAT console design. We love how the images display only on the edges of the console so that when the windows open, the whole experience looks and feels polished and dynamic. The webinar is well-branded from top to bottom, beginning to end, and plenty of CTAs and content offers link attendees to future events, blogs, the WANdisco website and more. A job well done, indeed.

FINALIST - SERVICENOW

ServiceNow always does a great job with their webinars, but there were a few things that we particularly liked about this one. Before the webinar even began, they ran a countdown that segwayed into a dynamic introduction video. The whole experience looks and feels polished, clean and professional, and we loved the way it incorporated live video and screen sharing throughout to give live demos of its platform within the experience.

FINALIST - CYCLANCE

This webinar is just plain cool. Not only does the console absolutely rock (we could stare at it all day) the whole experience felt immersive and well-branded. The slides and engagement tools are customized to match the console for continuity, so from start to finish the experience is seamless. There was no shortage of content and recourse offers in this experience. Attendees could also sign up for a series of upcoming webinars, on-demand webinars, upcoming events and more. All we can say is wow.

FINALIST - LEVER

From the real to the virtual? This company took the assets from a physical event to create a fun and innovative webinar. Its opening video was sheer brilliance and did more than integrate social media into the experience. Lever included a scrolling Twitter feed so attendees could stay connected without ever leaving the console. Great job!

2017 Finalist

FINALIST - NASA

Is there anything NASA can’t do? This interactive Virtual Career Summit included video clips of interns and employees sharing their experiences working with NASA, which made it feel so human. NASA’s audio-only Q&A gave attendees the opportunity to ask questions in real-time and of course, what would a great webinar be without a killer intro video? NASA checked all the boxes.

FINALIST - SAP

This webinar series is a must-see. They start it off with an engaging opening video that segways into an audio-only webinar rich with content links, quizzes, social sharing, and informational slides. They also include the option to register for upcoming webinars, and you can sign up for more than one at a time, which is a great way to build your audience. The event is chapterized for the on-demand version which allowed attendees to watch only what was relevant to them. Check this one out if you’re looking for ideas, inspiration or just want to watch a great webinar.

FINALIST - WEIGHT WATCHERS

This incredibly approachable webinar delivered an awesome multi-touch content experience for audiences in the Weight Watchers community. The high-resolution visual elements were gorgeous (and made us very hungry), and lived at the bottom of the console so the windows and assets could open without interrupting the look and feel of the experience. We also loved how the organization included a series of video clips narrated by the host, Chef Hutmacher, which made the webinar feel personable and fully immersive. Great job!

FINALIST - LINKEDIN

This repeat hall-of-famer, Linkedin, knows how to drive engagement — with or without slides. In this case it delivered a branded webinar series that fostered real connections with constituents. By placing the focus on presenters and informal panelists without the use of slides, LinkedIn mimicked a daytime television show and proved how incredibly approachable and personal these experiences can be.
