The Problem

Everyone is about to have access to AI marketing. Which means everyone's marketing is about to sound the same.

Generalized AI marketing is becoming table stakes. The event companies that win from here will be the ones who use AI for precision, not volume.

Your marketing treats a first time attendee and a three year community member exactly the same way.

Your sales calls follow the same script regardless of whether someone is exploring or ready to commit.

People attend your event once, have a great experience, and then disappear. The onboarding ends at the ticket purchase.

The Shift

When everyone can spray, the advantage goes to the company that can aim.

You don't need more marketing.

You need marketing that knows who it's talking to.

I've spent 15 years studying why humans buy, connect, and stay. Now I'm pairing that understanding with AI to do what was never possible before: make every single person in your world feel like the experience was designed for them.

The Three Pillars

Optimize the moments that matter

Every event company has three leverage points where precision beats volume. These are where AI changes everything.

01 / Community

Optimize Your Community

Make your event community stickier, more engaged, and more valuable so people don't just attend once and disappear. AI identifies who's disengaging before they leave, surfaces the members most likely to upgrade, and helps you create touchpoints that feel personal at scale.

02 / Onboarding

Optimize Your Onboarding

The journey from "I just heard about this" to "I'm all in and telling my friends" should feel intentional and personal. AI maps the ideal path for each attendee based on who they actually are, whether that's a first time registrant or a four time buyer who hasn't upgraded yet.

03 / Connection

Optimize Your Connection

Before your event, AI scores every prospect so your sales team knows exactly who to prioritize and what to say. After the event, same thing for follow up. No more treating a first timer the same as someone who's attended four times and bought twice.

How It Works

From audit to infrastructure

It starts with understanding where your revenue is leaking. It ends with AI tools you keep using long after we're done.

1

AI Sales Audit

I analyze your sales calls, attendee journey, and marketing touchpoints using AI to find the exact moments where people disengage, drop off, or fail to convert. Not guesswork. Data.

2

Segmentation Strategy

We build a hyper segmentation framework that groups your audience by actual need, not just demographics. This is the difference between "Dear Event Attendee" and a message that makes someone feel seen.

3

Custom AI Tools

I build AI tools tailored to your business that you keep using. Sales call scoring, attendee behavior analysis, personalized follow up triggers. Infrastructure, not just insight.

4

Ongoing Optimization

For companies that want continued support, I stay on as a strategic partner. Refining the tools, reviewing the data, and helping you sharpen the aim as your community grows.

The Person Behind This

15 years of understanding why humans connect. Now supercharged with AI.

I built my career studying human psychology at scale. Not in a lab. In the trenches of live events, virtual summits, and high ticket sales environments alongside Tony Robbins, Peter Diamandis, Dean Graziosi, and the Dalai Lama.

In 2019, my body started shutting down. Over the next two years I saw nearly 200 specialists, spent close to a million dollars on treatment, and had to step away from my business entirely. That experience taught me something no course ever could: the systems you build matter more than the effort you put in.

When I came back, I came back different. Less interested in volume. More interested in precision. Less interested in tactics. More interested in understanding what makes a human being feel like they belong somewhere.

Now I pair that 15 years of human psychology expertise with AI to help event companies do something that was never possible before: treat every person in their world as an individual, not an audience segment. That's not a tagline. That's the future of event marketing, and I'm building it with the companies smart enough to see it coming.

From People Who've Worked With Me

In their words

"James helped us build an eight figure company from scratch. He's one of the few people in the online business world who understands how to sell, as well as the tech required to scale a business to that level. If you have a chance to work with him, I'd do it in a heartbeat."

Mike Dillard

"James is pretty much the Alex Hormozi of offers. Not to mention his heart is as big as his brain. He deeply cares for everyone around him and acts with utmost care and integrity. He's been in the trenches and can speak from experience, not theory."

Gareth Hermann

"Thanks to his help, we raised $1.1 million for a solo, never before attempted, coast to coast crossing of Antarctica. He literally helped me achieve the impossible."

The Real Math

I ran a marketing agency for 15 years. The person you met in the pitch meeting is not the person doing your work.

That's not a secret. That's just how agencies operate. The A team sells you. The B team executes. Leadership spends their time reading, strategizing, staying sharp. The execution team? They're trying to get through a task list for 47 clients. Your event landing page is somewhere in the middle of that list.

I'm not knocking agencies. I built one. I love them. But if you're running events, you need landing pages for every single one, email sequences, ad creative, prospect targeting, post event follow up. And the person handling all of that for you is also handling it for 46 other companies. Yours is not their only event next Thursday.

So you think, okay, I'll build an internal team. By the time you hire a marketing lead, a designer, a developer, and a project manager you're at $350K+ and you've launched a whole HR department before your next event is even announced.

Build an internal marketing team $350K+/yr
Hire an agency (hope the junior remembers your name) $240K/yr
Me. All of me. On your team. $60K/yr

15+ years running that agency. Over $1B in client revenue. I've consulted for Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi, Peter Diamandis, and Frank Kern. And somewhere along the way I realized the best thing I could do was stop running the agency and just sit next to the founder and go "yeah... that's broken. Let me fix it."

What This Looks Like in Practice

One event company was using a mix of internal and agency resources to build landing pages for every event. Weeks of turnaround. Thousands of dollars each time. I taught their team to build event landing pages with AI in under an hour. Same quality. Fraction of the cost. They don't need an agency for that anymore.

Then we went after the real money. I showed them how to use AI to pull in everything available on their prospects. Registration data, purchase history, social profiles, engagement patterns. Before the event, AI scores every single person so your sales team knows exactly who to prioritize and what to say. After the event, same thing for follow up. No more guessing. No more treating a first timer the same as someone who's attended four times and bought twice.

And when it worked? I trained their team to run it without me. Because I don't want to be your marketing department. I want to make your marketing department dangerous and then move on to the next bottleneck.

Working Together

Two ways to get started

It starts with an audit. If the fit is right, I become the marketing and sales brain your event company is missing.

Questions

Before you fill out the form

How long is a typical engagement?
The AI Audit is a focused engagement, usually 3 to 4 weeks. Ongoing optimization is month to month with no long term contracts. Most clients stay because the ROI is obvious, not because they're locked in.
We only run 3 to 4 events per year. Is this still worth it?
Absolutely. Fewer events means each one carries more weight. The AI tools and segmentation strategies we build work year round on your community and sales process, not just during event weeks.
Do you work with virtual events or only in person?
Both, and hybrid. The principles are the same: understand who your attendees are, personalize their journey, and use AI to do it at scale. The tools adapt to your format.
What size team do we need for this to work?
You don't need a large team. Part of what I do is build tools and systems your existing team can run. I've done this with companies where one person handles all the marketing. The AI does the heavy lifting.
What makes this different from hiring an AI marketing agency?
An agency assigns you to their B team. I'm the A team and the only team. You get 15 years of psychology and marketing expertise paired with custom AI tools, not a junior strategist running your account between 46 others.

See if we're a fit

Takes 30 seconds. I personally read every response. No pitch. No 47 slide deck. Just a conversation.

One moment, let's be upfront with you

At under $1M in revenue, you're most likely still building your event audience and core offer. The AI optimization I do works best when there's already a sales process generating data to analyze and improve.

If you're under $1M, the most impactful thing you can do right now is nail your core offer and build your initial community. That said, if you believe your situation is different, I'm happy to talk.
