About
We Design and Operate AI-Enabled Circle Communities Built for Engagement, Retention, and Revenue
T86 Marketing helps founders, subject matter experts, educators, associations, and organizations design and operate scalable community businesses using Circle.
We specialize in community business strategy, member experience architecture, Circle implementation, onboarding and activation systems, engagement and retention frameworks, AI-enabled operations, automation, analytics, and fractional community management.
Our work is built around one core belief:
Community engagement is not random. It is designed.
We help clients move from scattered content, low participation, inconsistent execution, and founder-dependent engagement into structured community ecosystems with clear member journeys, purposeful programming, learning pathways, leadership opportunities, recognition systems, and sustainable operating rhythms.
We combine human-centered community strategy with Circle’s AI, automation, analytics, course, and workflow capabilities. This allows clients to scale their community operations without sacrificing brand voice, culture, judgment, or personal connection.
Circle provides powerful technology. T86 determines how that technology should support the client’s business model, member transformation, team capacity, and long-term growth.
Whether a client is launching a new Circle community, rebuilding an existing one, migrating from another platform, adopting new Circle AI capabilities, or looking for ongoing operational support, T86 helps create the systems needed to produce measurable engagement, retention, and revenue outcomes.
Services offered
Service packages
Best for founders and organizations that need a complete strategic plan for their community but have the internal capacity to implement it themselves.
The Community Business Blueprint defines what should be built, how the member experience should function, how Circle’s AI and automation capabilities should be used, and how the community should support measurable business and member outcomes.
May include:
• Community business model and offer architecture
• Member transformation definition
• Ideal member and audience positioning
• Member journey mapping
• Recommended Circle structure and access model
• Onboarding and activation framework
• Engagement and retention strategy
• Content, communications, and programming rhythm
• Course, Blueprint, or learning-path recommendations
• Recognition, milestone, gamification, and member leadership strategy
• Monetization and membership-tier recommendations
• Circle AI and automation use-case recommendations
• Human-review and escalation recommendations
• Community KPI and measurement framework
• Team roles and operational responsibilities
• Beta, launch, or relaunch roadmap
• Prioritized implementation plan
The client receives a strategic blueprint that can guide their internal team, contractor, or implementation partner through the build.
This package does not include full platform installation or ongoing community management.
Best for founders and organizations launching a new Circle community or rebuilding an existing community with a stronger business, member experience, and operational foundation.
May include:

Final pricing is based on the complexity of the business model, member experience, implementation, integrations, and internal team requirements.

Who I work with
We work best with founders, experts, education brands, associations, professional networks, faith-based organizations, and membership businesses that view community as a serious part of their business model.
Our best-fit clients typically have one or more of the following:
• An existing audience they want to convert into a structured or paid community
• A course, coaching program, membership, association, or professional network that needs a stronger community layer
• A Circle community that has launched but lacks engagement, structure, retention, or consistent execution
• A small internal team that needs clearer systems, roles, processes, and strategic direction
• A desire to improve member onboarding, participation, retention, referrals, and recurring revenue
• A need to adopt Circle AI and automation without making the member experience feel generic or impersonal
• A need to migrate, reorganize, or relaunch an existing community without disrupting the member experience
• Access to Circle’s tools but uncertainty about what to prioritize, automate, measure, or improve
We are not the best fit for clients who only want a basic platform setup without business strategy, member journey design, operational planning, or an engagement and retention framework.
