In this high-impact episode of The High Profit Event Show, host Rudy Rodriguez sits down with legendary paid media strategist Farukh Shroff, founder of Revere Advertising. With over 20 years of experience, $350 million in ad spend, and $1 billion+ in client revenue, Farukh has assisted major brands—including Amazon, Deepak Chopra, and even Oprah—create and execute campaigns that convert.

This episode is a must-listen for any event leader looking to master the science of filling events—without relying on last-minute promos or blind hope.

Farukh breaks down the core strategies behind scalable and profitable event growth using paid advertising, especially Facebook ads. He walks through the key metrics that drive real results, showing you how to reverse engineer your event goals—from show-up rates to cost per acquisition to ROAS (Return on Ad Spend). Whether you're running a virtual summit or in-person seminar, this is the framework to follow.

We also dive deep into the concept of prospect awareness and why choosing the right funnel based on where your audience is on their journey is non-negotiable. From webinars to challenge funnels to video series, Farukh explains which strategy works best depending on your audience’s level of understanding and readiness to buy.

Rudy and Farukh also discuss the most common mistakes event marketers make—like trying to do too much at once, skipping the planning phase, or failing to retarget effectively. Farukh's advice is refreshingly practical: Start with one strategy, optimize every step, and only scale when you’re dialed in.

Farukh even shares a free tool—eventmarketingplanner.com—that helps you map out your campaign numbers before you ever run a single ad.

This episode is packed with expert-level guidance delivered in a clear, actionable format. If you’re ready to turn your next event into a high-converting, high-impact experience, this conversation is your blueprint.

In this episode of The High Profit Event Show, I sit down with Mark Stern, founder and CEO of Custom Box Agency. Mark is not just a box designer—he’s a customer journey strategist who has redefined how physical products can create immersive experiences for virtual and live event attendees. With an MBA from Duke University, a former consultant at Deloitte, and a feature in Forbes as one of the next 1,000 entrepreneurs to watch, Mark brings a wealth of knowledge and a powerful perspective to the conversation.

We dove into the idea that an event doesn’t start on Day One—it starts the moment your attendee registers. Mark shared how strategically using custom event boxes before, during, and after an event can dramatically increase engagement, retention, and conversion. He explained how his agency helps event leaders use boxes to pre-frame the event experience, boost show-up rates, and even engineer the buying journey. One standout story included how a pre-event audio journey and physical box led to a 20% increase in show-up rates for one client—and even sparked community buzz online before the event began.

Mark also broke down how boxes can activate more senses—beyond sight and sound—by introducing touch, smell, and even emotion into the mix. He walked us through how Custom Box Agency builds "book-sized" boxes designed to live on bookshelves and remain top-of-mind. These boxes become containers of memories and breakthroughs, filled with envelopes, QR codes, and carefully timed reveals that guide participants through a meaningful transformation.

Mark integrates behavioral psychology into his box strategies—like sending attendees “Box 1 of 2” to create a powerful open loop and drive desire to ascend into the next program. It’s a smart blend of story arc, gamification, and identity-shifting strategy.

If you're an event leader looking to deepen your connection with attendees, increase engagement, or elevate your post-event follow-up, this episode is a must-listen. Mark’s insights into blending physical and digital experiences will inspire you to think beyond the screen—and into your audience’s hands, homes, and hearts. Be sure to catch the full episode and learn how to implement these ideas into your next high-ticket event.

In this special 100th episode of The High Profit Event Show, I’m joined by my friend and longtime industry leader Alex Moscow, founder of Event Profit Engine. Alex has helped entrepreneurs generate over $125 million in revenue through live events—without relying on hype or high-pressure sales tactics. His mission is to help coaches, consultants, and transformational leaders create powerful event experiences that convert with integrity, alignment, and ease.

With a background in marketing and years of experience hosting his own sold-out events, Alex brings a deeply strategic and heartfelt perspective to the conversation. He’s known for helping his clients lead from a place of service while still creating highly profitable outcomes. In this episode, we break down the three pillars that are consistently driving success in today’s high-ticket event landscape—and why so many event leaders are missing the mark.

First, Alex dives into the power of audience precision. He explains why designing your event for the top 5% of your audience—the people most likely to engage, buy, and benefit from your work—leads to dramatically higher conversions and deeper impact. It’s not about casting a wide net; it’s about crafting an experience so tailored that your ideal attendees feel like it was built just for them.

Next, we talk about filling the room—not with just anyone, but with aligned, high-quality participants. Alex shares why personal outreach and relationship-building continue to outperform paid ads when it comes to getting the right people in the room. He breaks down how combining organic social content with direct invitations builds trust, momentum, and excitement before your event even begins.

Finally, we explore how sponsors and enrollment success are deeply connected to experience design. According to Alex, the sales process doesn’t begin with a pitch—it starts the moment someone registers. He reveals how to onboard aligned sponsors who support your mission, and how to weave your offer into the flow of the event so that it becomes the next natural step, not a hard sell.

Whether you’re hosting your very first event or looking to scale your next high-ticket retreat, this episode is packed with insights you can implement right away. Alex’s wisdom is practical, heartfelt, and rooted in experience. If you want to create events that transform lives and your bottom line, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
