Bounce Marketing and Events

What Bounce Marketing and Events does

Bounce Marketing & Events, LLC is a privately held, full-service marketing and events agency founded in 2007 and headquartered in Austin, Texas. The firm operates as a single integrated offering organized around four service pillars: Events (permitting, logistics, site and route planning, vendor and volunteer management), Marketing (social media, SEO/SEM, content, video, experiential, drip and re-targeting campaigns), Design (branding, identity, UI/UX, packaging, signage, web design), and Public Relations (earned media, influencer engagement, crisis management, press releases). It also produces bespoke digital products such as participant websites, sponsor portals, and event-request platforms, coded in-house. Primary client segments are 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations — representing more than 60% of the portfolio and the source of 500+ non-profit events and more than $50 million raised over 12+ years — alongside corporate clients spanning retail (H-E-B, Stubb's), technology (Google Local Guides, Offers.com), healthcare (American Heart Association, March of Dimes), fitness (TruFusion, HEAT Bootcamp, E+E Fitness), real estate (Catellus/Mueller), media (Austin Monthly), and entertainment (ONNIT, Puptopia Festival). Long-tenured multi-year relationships with organizations including the American Heart Association (Heart Walk), March of Dimes (March for Babies), United Way (Ruthless Good), Habitat for Humanity (Re-Store), and the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin (Parade of Homes, 6-year agency of record) anchor recurring revenue.

The business model is project-based professional services with custom scoping per engagement. Pricing is determined case-by-case based on service scope, event complexity, duration, and deliverables, with discovery calls preceding onboarding and multi-year contracts available for anchor clients. GTM motion combines sales-led direct client engagement (free consultations, phone/email intake, website chat), an agency partnership channel targeting out-of-town agencies needing Austin activation support, and a community-led approach via a dedicated non-profit services portal. The team is described as 14 personnel spanning CEO, COO, Senior Publicist, Senior Account Executive, Operations Manager, Brand Manager, Senior Web/App Engineer, Senior Event Specialist, Volunteer Specialist, and Event Specialists, delivering 70+ events annually across 100+ lifetime clients. The agency produces no recurring software platform revenue; digital products are delivered as standalone project work rather than as a SaaS-style offering. Two Austin offices are maintained (1501 West Avenue and 336 South Congress Avenue), with operating footprint described as Austin, Central Texas, and national (campaign-level reach). No external funding, no patents, no certifications, and no acquisitions are disclosed.
