FlipPhone Drag Brunches have become a big hit in Minneapolis. Tickets sell out as soon as they go on sale, attendees have a blast, performers make good money, and it all raises money for local non-profits. It’s a win-win-win for everyone! And it’s all coordinated by the owner of FlipPhone Events, Chad Kampe. He is the mastermind behind the drag brunches and the numerous other shows and parties throughout the year. In this episode we sit down with Chad and talk about what it’s like to manage the marketing, social media, event production, and even host some of the events. He really does it all – from Facebook event promotion to video marketing to influencer marketing, and he talks to us about what he’s done to succeed with all these events.
