$9K Debt to $200K Months: Marketing Events When Nobody Knows You | EF EP 122

Think you need a big budget and industry connections to throw successful events? Kyle Cassico proves otherwise. He went from $9,000 in credit card debt to building a thriving experiential company, and his guerrilla marketing tactics work whether you're throwing your own events or trying to get booked.

Kyle breaks down exactly how to create content that moves people from scrolling to showing up, how to build credibility when nobody knows who you are, and why your biggest limitation might not be money - it might be mindset.

Key Takeaways:

• How to market events with zero budget and no industry credibility
 • Content strategies that actually convert followers into ticket buyers
 • Why authenticity beats polish when building your brand
 • The psychology behind getting people to take action on your events
 • How to leverage relationships when you're starting from nothing
 • Why feeling "average" might mean you just haven't found your alignment yet
 • Practical steps for building buzz around your shows and career

Whether you're a DJ trying to get booked, a producer planning your first event, or an artist wondering how to build a following from scratch, Kyle's blueprint shows you exactly how it's done.

Stop waiting for permission and start creating the opportunities you want to see.
