How do people decide to attend an event before they ever click a registration page?
In this episode of Rise Above The Noise, ProudMouth CEO Kirk Lowe sits down with Nyle Bayer, CMO of Future Proof, to break down how they’re building momentum ahead of the Future Proof Citywide event in Miami Beach.
This conversation is about how modern marketing works in high-trust industries. People don’t decide when they see the registration page. They decide earlier, while they’re searching, watching, and building familiarity.
Nyle shares how Future Proof is using real conversations and video to drive growth around Citywide and their other events, including:
- Why “trust before the click” is the real conversion layer
- How Future Proof uses video as both community value and demand gen
- Why putting the right voice front and center changes everything
- How to build narrative momentum around an event theme (like AI)
You’ll hear what it takes to build trust before outreach and create visibility that compounds.
It’s a philosophy we believe in deeply at ProudMouth: Real conversations, multiplied with intention, build trust long before the first call.
