We are honored to have be featured in Arkansas Business’ “Innovation” section, where they have highlighted the innovative ways The Contingent has brought together technology, digital marketing, and customer experience and paired it with on the ground community engagement.

Every second, data is being gathered about us and how we interact with technology. This data is often sold for advertisements, which is how you get an ad about couches on your Facebook feed after you’ve been looking through a furniture store’s website.

Our CEO, Ben Sand, wondered how we could use similar strategies to attract who are interested in foster care or child welfare into engagement.
