    The ask

    Make a first-ever summit look inevitable to apparel decorators, print-on-demand operators, and brand decision-makers, with no organic traffic and no historical event data.

    What we ran

    • Landing page, CRM segmentation, and reminder flows live from day one
    • Meta ads on cold and lookalike audiences, with iterative creative rounds
    • 4,438 emails, 18,840+ SMS, and 2,044 phone calls between registration and doors
    • Partner toolkit with trackable links and QR codes, so partners promoted with their own numbers
    • Post-production: session recordings, clips, and highlight reels that outlive the event
    Meta AdsEmailSMSPhonePartnersPost-production

    $9.50 cost per registration and a 2.33% CTR on Meta, against a 1 to 1.5% industry norm. AI and UGC creatives drove 75% of paid registrations.
