OCTUS NETWORK

The intelligence agency
for cultural events.

We measure what actually happens on the floor — then turn it into proof you can hand to sponsors, venues, and brands.

AN INTRODUCTION FROM SIMON · 2026

01

02 · HEY

A NOTE, FIRST

I'm sending this because I think we're building
something you'd actually care about.

This isn't a cold pitch. I'm not trying to get you in a funnel. I've been building Octus Network for a while now, and the shape of it finally lines up with things you and I have talked about — or things I know you've been in the middle of.

This deck is a quick tour. Eight slides, no jargon, no dashboards. If it sparks something, tell me. If the timing is wrong, also tell me — I'd rather hear "not now" than get ghosted. Either way, good to be back in your inbox.

— Simon

03 · THE GAP

THE PROBLEM

Culture runs on energy.
Sponsors run on proof.

Most cultural events — cons, festivals, pop-ups, recurring nights — know exactly who shows up and why it matters. They just can't hand anyone a document that says so.

SCATTERED

Data lives across Shopify, Mailchimp, ticketing, Meta, and someone's Notes app.

UNPROVABLE

You can feel a great crowd. You can't measure dwell time, affinity, or impact.

UNFUNDABLE

Sponsors ask for numbers you don't have — so the budget goes to someone with worse energy but better slides.

04 · WHAT WE DO

WHAT OCTUS DOES

We turn the floor into a readable signal.

Octus is an intelligence agency — not a SaaS tool. We send trained field operators on-site, plug into your existing data (tickets, Shopify, Mailchimp, POS), and layer our own sensor + survey capture on top. Then we synthesize the whole thing into a verdict.

WHAT WE CAPTURE

Foot traffic + dwell time by zone
Demographics + psychographics
Brand affinities (what they already buy)
Net Promoter Score + sentiment
Digital amplification + earned reach

WHAT YOU GET BACK

A signed verdict — not a dashboard
Trust Score (how confident the numbers are)
Sponsor-ready talking points
Methodology appendix (shown, not hidden)
A document you can forward to any brand

05 · HOW IT WORKS

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Minimal lift from your team.

1

We sync up

A 30-minute call. We align on what you already have (ticketing, Shopify, Mailchimp, socials, past reports) and what we'll capture on the floor. No paperwork yet.

2

We do the work

Field operators on-site. Fast intercept surveys (<60 seconds). Sensor + zone tracking where it matters. We ingest your existing data in parallel, so the whole picture lands in one frame.

3

You get the verdict

A signed intelligence report within 5 business days. Yours to keep, forward, cut up, and use in pitch decks, grant applications, or venue negotiations.

06 · PROOF

RECEIPTS

Beats & Ballads, Atlanta.
308 people. One night. One verdict.

First Octus engagement. A 308-person cultural event on New Year's Eve 2025. The organizer used the report to reposition her entire brand strategy and open sponsor conversations she couldn't have before.

RISK-ADJ ROI

Why it mattered: 71% of the room was 25-34, 62% corporate professionals, 44% non-alcoholic (2× the national average). The Sound Booth was the gravitational center — 29% of traffic, 12+ minutes of engagement each. Without measurement, none of that exists on paper. With it, every sentence becomes a sponsor hook.

07 · FOR YOU

THE OFFER

What this could look like for you.

Because I know you and I'd rather build the right thing than over-sell, we'd start small. One engagement, one verdict, and you decide whether to keep going.

Starting package Community Snapshot — a 4-6 page verdict on one event or recurring night.

Standard price $950

Friends & partners $350 — for you, because I know you

What I'd ask for Permission to anonymize and cite this as a case study

Timeline Pick a date · Report in 5 business days

Commitment None. One event. No retainer. No long contracts.

If it lands, we scale up — recurring Community Profile, Season Pass, or full Event Intelligence for larger runs. If it doesn't, you keep the report and we had a good time.

08 · NEXT

NEXT STEP

If this makes sense,
let's get on a call.

Thirty minutes, no deck, no sales motion. We talk about what you're working on, I show you how Octus plugs in, and if the shape is right we pick a date. If not, I'll point you at someone who can help.
