For CDFIs, nonprofits and community organizations
Your community wants to show up. Let's make it predictable.
You have the list, the relationships and the mission. But registrations trickle in and half the seats stay empty. We'll show you exactly where your turnout is leaking, and what to fix first.
400+ community events filled across six U.S. metropolitan areas
Sound familiar?
We've sat in the half-empty room too.
01
Empty seats
Forty people registered. Twelve came. Or the webinar waiting room sat at three.
02
"Should we try ads?"
Paid ads sound promising, but with a tight budget they also feel complicated and risky.
03
No idea where to start
Emails, texts, flyers, social, ads. Everything feels urgent, and more events are already on the calendar.

Within reach
Your community can fill this room on its own, so let's make sure your invites and reminders convert.
You're close, so consider inviting a few people from outside your community to close the gap.
Your community alone won't fill this room, so consider inviting people from outside it.
What happens on the call
One call. A clear place to focus.
1
Diagnose
Is this a registration problem or an attendance problem? They need very different fixes, so we start by finding out which one you have.
2
Focus
We pick the one or two fixes that matter most for your next event: your list, invite flow, SMS reminders, bilingual messaging, or paid ads.
3
Plan
You leave with a clear plan for your next event, whether you do it yourself or want help.
Why full rooms matter
From one invitation to a stronger community.

Hi, I'm Mario.
I've led growth marketing for a CDFI serving communities in six U.S. metropolitan areas, and in each one, distinct communities: Spanish-speaking families, Black women entrepreneurs, and others who are often an afterthought in mainstream marketing.
Over that time, my team and I have managed 400+ in-person and online events. I learned that full rooms aren't luck. They come from a system: the right invitation, a confirmation that builds commitment, reminders that actually get opened, and paid ads used only where they make sense.
If your events matter to your mission but your attendance doesn't reflect it, let's talk. On one call, we'll figure out where to focus first.

English and Spanish.
Inglés y español.
We build English and Spanish campaigns natively, not translated. Each invitation, confirmation and reminder is written for the community reading it.

Bring your next event date, your list size, and your past attendance numbers. We'll use them to find where to focus first.
