Event-first marketing

I Market Experiences, Not Just Dates.

Wyldcard builds the words, graphics, video, event pages, email, outreach, and publishing plan that make an event easy to discover and exciting to imagine.

Led by event operator and marketer Edward Richard Schmalz, the work is grounded in the practical realities of tickets, capacity, programming, performers, vendors, audience flow, and the actual experience being sold.

The creative idea and the operational reality belong in the same conversation.
