North OC's Entertainment & Community Hub
Buena Park's identity balances its entertainment industry presence — led by Knott's Berry Farm — with its role as a diverse, working-class community in north Orange County. The city's Korean-American, Latino, and Southeast Asian communities create a multilingual environment that demands cultural competency.
The city's tourism economy generates significant revenue but also creates community concerns about traffic, commercial development, and the balance between visitor-serving businesses and resident services.
RFC Communications brings expertise in Buena Park's diverse community dynamics, understanding the multilingual outreach and community partnership strategies required for effective engagement.

How Engagements Take Shape in Buena Park
Multi-year community engagement in Buena Park
A regional health system asked RFC to design a sustained Buena Park engagement focused on tourism & entertainment economy. We built an audience model from Buena Park 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 Orange County
A coalition of Orange County non-profits engaged RFC to coordinate a Buena Park-anchored community engagement 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.
