How Engagements Take Shape in Arcadia
Multi-year community engagement in Arcadia
A regional health system asked RFC to design a sustained Arcadia engagement focused on education excellence. We built an audience model from Arcadia household and organizational data, structured a multi-channel precision mail programs program, and embedded a field cadence that turned a six-month launch into a three-year compounding partnership with local conveners. The program's reach and depth grew every renewal cycle.
Coalition-anchored outreach across Los Angeles County
A coalition of Los Angeles County non-profits engaged RFC to coordinate a Arcadia-anchored digital presence push. Rather than running parallel programs, we mapped the existing civic infrastructure, brokered shared messaging, and produced a single in-language mail and field deployment that the coalition members executed in concert. Cost per qualified contact dropped materially; partner satisfaction stayed high through the engagement.
