👤 Keith Mulligan, Owner

Axe Kickers is a local axe throwing venue in Seattle with a laid-back, fun vibe, offering group lanes, private events, and a mobile setup, along with 25+ local beers and ciders.

Owner Keith always knew corporate events were the most profitable bookings, bigger budgets, mid-week revenue, and repeat potential. But without a reliable way to consistently reach corporate planners, Axe Kickers was leaving significant money on the table.

Previous challenges

Before partnering with Event Captain, Axe Kickers:

  • Relied on walk-ins, word-of-mouth, and occasional private bookings
  • Had no consistent pipeline of high-value corporate event leads
  • Wasn’t re-engaging past event clients to drive repeat bookings

“We knew corporate events could transform our revenue, but we didn’t have the systems or strategy to find and rebook them consistently.”

How Event Captain helped

Event Captain has become a core part of Axe Kickers’ growth strategy, delivering a steady flow of new corporate leads while also helping them maximize the value of every past event.

Here’s how:

  • Targeted outreach to high-value corporate decision-makers in the Seattle area
  • Event Captain dashboard to manage all event inquiries and follow-ups in one place
  • Automated rebooking system to turn past corporate event clients into repeat business

“The dashboard and follow-up system have been a game-changer. We’ve rebooked past events we never would have remembered to follow up with before.”

The results

with Event Captain, Axe Kickers has:

  • Increased corporate event revenue by 87% year over year
  • Booked events with major Seattle employers, including Amazon, Blue Origin, and other large tech companies, that helped fill mid-week slots

  • Rebooked 30% of past corporate clients using Event Captain’s automated follow-up system

“Event Captain doesn’t just get us new leads they help us keep the ones we already have coming back again and again. That’s where the real long-term growth happens.”
