About SharpPages
One person who knows data, marketing, and engineering. That is the whole team, and that is the point.
Rome Thorndike
Founder, SharpPages
Data + Marketing + Engineering
I spent a decade in enterprise SaaS before starting SharpPages. The short version: I sold software at Salesforce, ran customer success at Microsoft, and helped scale a data startup (Datajoy) that was acquired by Databricks. Along the way, I earned my MBA at UC Berkeley Haas.
That background matters because event marketing sits at the intersection of three things most agencies only do one of: data (who to target), marketing (what to say), and engineering (how to build and track it). Most agencies have designers who cannot install a pixel, media buyers who cannot build a landing page, and project managers relaying messages between both.
SharpPages is one person doing all three. I build the site, install the tracking, write the ad copy, and manage the campaign. No handoffs. No telephone game. No "let me check with our developer and get back to you."
The result is faster delivery, tighter feedback loops, and a site where the tracking actually works on launch day. Every event site I build, I also run ads against. I see the full funnel from impression to registration, and I know where the drop-offs happen because I built every piece of it.
If your event marketing is stuck between an expensive agency and a DIY tool you do not have time to learn, that is the gap SharpPages fills.

Why SharpPages Exists
Agencies Are Slow and Expensive
A typical marketing agency takes 3 to 6 weeks to build a landing page. They charge $8,000 to $15,000 for a site that could be built in 5 days. You are paying for their overhead, their project managers, their account executives, and their office in a trendy neighborhood.
DIY Tools Require Expertise
Eventbrite, Splash, and Cvent all assume you have time to learn their platform, customize their templates, and figure out pixel installation yourself. Your event team has enough to do. They should not be debugging tracking code at 10 PM.
Generic Platforms Kill Conversions
An Eventbrite page with default styling does not communicate the quality of your event. The URL says eventbrite.com, not your brand. The design looks like every other event on the platform. Attendees notice, and your conversion rate reflects it.
