AMBASSADOR BUSINESS PROFILE

Pulse Studio LLC

Pulse Studio provides experiential design support and custom content creation. The talented team helps design what corporate events, trade shows, product launches, brand takeovers, and mobile marketing campaigns will look like. Their main role is to create experiences that are true to the company’s messaging and leaves the attendees with a positive impression of the brand. Pulse’s secondary role is to create digital content that appears on the LED walls, monitors and touchscreens at the events. 

Christopher Fry is the Principal Owner and leads their business development. He leads the outreach to new clients and finds new ways to work with other businesses. “Evolve or die” is the business mantra he believes in. The world keeps changing so Pulse must evolve their services and business model to stay relevant.   

Around 2006, Christopher had the opportunity to support his best friend with his 3d modeling skills. Christopher was working at an engineering firm in Lisle when the great recession hit and he seized that opportunity to start his own business with his best friend. What started off with architectural renderings evolved into designing sets for corporate theater and branded activations events for some large clients and corporations.

A leads group can be a game-changer for small businesses and Chamber members. It’s basically a built-in sales support team. The Lisle Area Chamber has a Leads group that meets monthly. Our Lisle Area Leads Group was invited as guests to join in our Chamber member, Naperville Networking Alliance at their monthly meeting held at a fellow Chamber member’s business, Limitless Dreams Events located in Lisle. Below is a picture of all the great leads and networking that went on during their meeting. They keep track of everyone’s Leads each week. 

What Is a Leads Group?

A small group of businesses that meet regularly to share referrals, connections, and business opportunities. The leads are not cold leads. They are a reference from people you trust. The benefit of steady meeting. Regular meetings bring a steady pipeline of leads. Instead of random word-of-mouth, you get intentional referrals every month.

A leads group helps members: get more business, build stronger relationships, stay accountable and grow consistently. It turns networking from “collecting business cards” into real revenue opportunities.

You gain access to, marketing tips, business advice. In a leads group you meet other like-minded business people and they may help you with your business, accounting, social media, marketing skills to teach you.

Please join the Lisle Area Chamber Leads Group in February at Limitless Dream Events on March 25th.
