About

Soleil Acree

Founder, SOLCIAL

I build strategies that help organizations in technology, music, and health and wellness invest in their communities in ways people can actually feel.

I'm a producer and partnerships strategist based in Phoenix. I got my start in community work running restorative justice programs in Bay Area schools. That's where I learned people show up when the door is actually open. I've carried that into everything since: more than seven years at Square and Block leading partnerships and brand activations, three years producing ASUPROX at Arizona State, and Daybreaker's Purple Tour across Arizona.

What I enjoy most is building things that last. Programs that keep running after launch, partnerships that renew year after year, and events people actually want to be at. I started SOLCIAL because access is good business. When people who usually get shut out get a real way in, the company gains as much as the community does.

How I work

Strategy built by someone who has run it.

Most partnership strategy is written by people who never sign the contract or stand at the venue. I've done every part.

I pick the partners and negotiate the deal. I get it through legal and procurement, pay it out, run the day, and report what it delivered. So the plan you get already accounts for the budget, the review, and the day itself.

Bring SOLCIAL in for the strategy alone, or to carry it all the way through.

Why it matters

Showing up in person means more than it used to.

So much of work happens on a screen now. When people do show up in person, the stakes are higher.

When people make the trip they want to feel like they belong. Who they meet, what they walk away with, and whether they come back can all be designed on purpose.

Every partner knows why they're there.

If a sponsor can't explain what they're getting, the deal won't renew.

Good events change what people do next.

A new contact, a new job, a vote cast. Something has to move.

People come before the run of show.

The business goal and the guest experience get designed together.
