About Ericka Bates
I’m Ericka Bates, a Digital Transformation Strategist specializing in Virtual Events and Content Creation. I work with Series B SaaS companies to transform their brands into lead-generation powerhouses through tailored virtual event strategies...
…My approach focuses on three key categories: Activation, Experiential & Distribution—helping companies generate warm leads within 90 days, all without the stress and overwhelm.
What I Do
I simplify the complex process of virtual event planning to deliver seamless, impactful experiences. Whether it’s designing an interactive event, amplifying your brand message or repurposing content to maximize ROI, my strategies are tailored to achieve your goals efficiently.
I also specialize in a unique 4-part series format that delivers measurable results:
- Introductory Interviews: Creating a compelling entry point to introduce your brand, thought leaders and upcoming virtual events.
- Event Innovators Insights Sessions (Master Classes): Delivering actionable content that establishes your authority and drives engagement.
- Panel Discussions or Workshops: Featuring expert conversations or hands-on learning.
- Post-Event Deep Dives: Reflecting, refining and gathering valuable data to continuously improve.
Why Virtual Events?
Virtual events are a powerful way to reduce customer acquisition costs, clarify brand messaging and break down internal silos. They create meaningful connections, drive engagement and amplify reach—all while delivering measurable ROI.
Who I Serve
- SaaS Companies: Helping Series B startups scale their marketing efforts through stress-free, lead-generating virtual events.
- Entrepreneurs & Founders: Supporting visionaries in building communities, repurposing content and amplifying their digital presence.

- Facilitate The Virtual Summiteers Peer Group, a weekly mastermind for entrepreneurs and founders passionate about digital transformation and growth through virtual events.
- Produce and curate monthly Master Classes through our Event Innovators Insights Sessions, providing invaluable knowledge-sharing opportunities.
