Case Study: Framer builds a global community of local hosts with Contra

How Framer built a community of local hosts with Contra

Framer, a design software company, faced the challenge of building authentic, local connections in new global markets to support its community-driven ethos. Their goal was to scale a high volume of local meetups, but their limited internal capacity made orchestrating these events worldwide unrealistic. They turned to the vendor Contra to manage their community engagement and event planning.

By using Contra, Framer was able to seamlessly discover, hire, and manage a network of local community leaders and event planners. This solution streamlined their entire process from talent discovery to payments, substantially cutting down planning time. As a result, Framer successfully hosted numerous events that became creative hubs, spending over $1M on the platform to complete 700+ projects and engage 1.2K+ contractors, which helped forge a vibrant, globally-connected design community.
