Running a marquee business means you live and die by the season. For House of Hud, the quiet months weren’t just slow—they were stressful. High-end kit sat idle, talented staff went underutilised, and every off-season invoice felt like salt in the wound.

The Challenge

Running events is tough — and empty stands make it tougher. For Inspired Motive, unsold space didn’t just look bad — it affected the whole vibe of their expos. It also meant a missed revenue opportunity and less value for paying sponsors and attendees.

At the same time, like many growing event organisers, they were working with a tight marketing budget. They needed more eyes on their shows — without more pressure on their cash flow.

How BBX Helped

Inspired Motive didn’t need to settle for less — they just needed to think differently.

That’s where BBX came in.

Together, we structured a smart trade deal that allowed Inspired Motive to:

  • Turn unsold stand space into tradeable value via Digital Trade Credits (DTC)
  • Use those credits to access high-impact advertising and promotional tools — like digital motorway billboards
  • Fund their campaign upfront with an interest-free DTC credit line from BBX
  • Attract new exhibitors from the BBX business community — increasing stand sales and footfall

It wasn’t just a tactical shift — it was a full-circle trade strategy.

The Impact

  • £250,000+ in additional stand sales over 4 years
  • 100% stand occupancy – Every event sold out
  • Billboard exposure amplified brand awareness and event visibility
  • Sponsor value boosted through additional media coverage
  • Stronger engagement with BBX-funded networking, staff rewards, and attendance at other expos
  • Ongoing growth with BBX supporting new event launches and audience development

“We were sitting on unsold space and watching money walk out the door. BBX helped us turn that into our biggest marketing asset. It’s completely transformed how we run events.”

Key Takeaways

This case shows how BBX empowers businesses to trade smarter, not spend harder. For mission-driven organisations like Byline Times, it means growing their audience and influence — without compromising values or draining cash.

  • Empty space ≠ wasted space – BBX helped Inspired Motive monetise it with purpose
  • Smart trade = smart growth – Marketing funded without upfront cash
  • Community support drives momentum – BBX exhibitors added energy, footfall, and value

What’s Next?

Inspired Motive is continuing to explore deeper integration with BBX — from powering sponsorship upgrades to launching new shows across the UK. More visibility, more clients, and more opportunity — all while keeping cash flow intact.
