Turning audiences into communities 〰️
Hi! I’m Ingrid Zapata Read
2x founder, community builder, strategist, connector, podcast host, and mom to two wild (and wonderful) boys.
After working on a startup that was sold and spending time freelancing, I realized founders and businesses needed the same kind of connection. That’s when I launched Grow With Community. Now, I help businesses turn their audiences into thriving, engaged communities outside social media.
With over a decade of experience in sales, customer success, and community management, I know what works. I’ve built strategies that turn followers into loyal supporters, created campaigns that drive growth, and launched affiliate programs that turn customers into brand ambassadors.
Basically, I’m here to help you build the kind of community that works for you.
