Hi, we’re Jason & Annabel

We founded Back Pocket because we believe in the transformative power of community, conversation, and shared experience, but know that enduring connections and meaningful impact are the result of rigorous strategy, not serendipity.

We met at Dialog, an invite-only membership organization founded by Peter Thiel and Auren Hoffman—where Annabel ran the programming team and Jason ran the membership team. During our time there, we designed and moderated hundreds of conversations for global leaders across a wide range of topics, launched new in-person events, scaled the membership without sacrificing its intimacy, and spearheaded both content and engagement for Dialog’s flagship retreats. 

Communities aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are our services. However, most of our work fits into one of three buckets: community strategy, content design, or event execution. These categories naturally fit together—and the best communities have a consistent, integrated approach across all three—but we'll tailor our work to the component pieces most critical for you.
