(01) THE APPROACH

Why lifecycle & demand gen for Live Events is a different job

Registration-funnel CRO, abandonment recovery, and a persistent attendee database you reactivate next year.

The ticket engine and the measurement layer are the same system, so pacing decisions are made on real numbers against a fixed date. Server-side tracking and identity resolution unify ad → registration → purchase → attendance, so a ticket resolves to the source that actually sold it. Sponsor leads carry dollar values into a report you can hand over without caveats.

The cheapest revenue you will ever earn is the second order from a customer acquisition already paid for. Most brands spend everything at the top of the funnel and let it leak at every handoff after the click.

(02) WHAT'S INCLUDED

The build.

01

Email & SMS Lifecycle

Klaviyo and HubSpot flows built on behavior, each owning a revenue number. We build welcome, abandonment, post-purchase, winback, and VIP flows segmented by precise user actions, calibrated for engagement and revenue per touch. Multi-channel messaging (spanning email, SMS, push, and in-app) is deployed only where it earns its place, driving second and third-order purchases without demanding new ad spend.

02

Lead Funnels & ABM

Offers, nurture, and named-account plays that move prospects to closed-won. We build the full path: lead magnet, capture, scoring, routing, and nurture that keeps warm leads warm until sales is ready. For named accounts, tiered ABM plays run across ads, email, LinkedIn, and direct outreach, with handoff SLAs both teams co-sign.

03

CRO & Growth Engineering

Research-driven testing and in-house development on pages that carry revenue. Quantitative drop-off data and qualitative user behavior build a hypothesis backlog ranked by impact. Our developers ship high-converting landing environments, playbooks, lead magnets and interactive tools in days.

04

Funnel Analytics & Sales Enablement

Full-funnel visibility from first touch to closed revenue, shared by both teams. We connect ESP, funnel, ad platforms, and CRM so every lead carries its source, path, and value, reported against pipeline and closed-won. Sales gets the context, scoring, and handoff rules to act on what marketing sends, ensuring demand carries all the way to the bottom line.

(04) HOW WE WORK

A plan, from day one.

01
Audit the Funnel

We trace every handoff from ad to page to lead to first order to repeat, and isolate exactly where the journey is losing traction. You get a ranked list of structural weaknesses: dead lifecycle flows, high-exit environments, and broken CRM routing. Nothing gets built until we agree on where growth is stalling and why.

02
Model the Journey

We map your ICP, buying stages, and customer segments, then design the flows, funnels, and account plays each one needs. Targets come from your unit economics, LTV to CAC, revenue per send, and cost per qualified account. You approve the blueprint on paper before we build a single flow.

03
Build and Launch

Core lifecycle flows go live, funnel pages ship, and the ABM target list gets tiered, all against a dated calendar with named owners. Deliverability, list hygiene, and CRM routing are fixed as part of the build.

04
Scale and Compound

Proven flows expand to new segments, winning pages become templates, and ABM plays roll from one-to-few to one-to-many. Post-purchase, winback, and loyalty programs turn one-time buyers into repeat revenue, so growth shows up without demanding fresh ad spend. The system compounds, and the reporting proves it every month.

(05) WHAT YOU GET

Deliverables that ship.

(06) FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes. Our published work includes Cirque du Soleil — Dralion at 15x ROAS. We run lifecycle & demand generation inside a full-stack engagement built for Live Events, Conferences & Festivals, so it is wired to the same measurement layer, CRM and first-party data the rest of your growth runs on — which is what makes the numbers defensible.
