PLACEMAKERS

The way we communicate is changing.

Public meetings need to change.

Participating in a traditional public meeting or town hall means traveling to a specific location at a specific time. It’s often the same people who show up, which means the same voices are heard and ideas shared. Decisions are made based on a small sampling of participants and many great ideas go unheard.

Placemakers are uniquely committed to cultivating environments that nurture community needs. Public engagement should be convenient, productive, transparent, and even fun.

 MindMixer is a virtual town hall for community engagement.

Level up your engagement strategy.

Mindmixer’s online engagement tools support planners, architects, engineers, and designers, helping them capture feedback and harness support from the people most affected by and invested in a project’s success.

MindMixer has helped thousands of community leaders develop civic connections that cross neighborhood lines, restore trust and enthusiasm in the planning process, and bring public priorities into focus.

About the Platform

MindMixer was founded on the belief that communities are full of good ideas; the key to strengthening communities is in the mining and mixing of those ideas. We believe it now, and we believed it 15+ years ago when we first began helping urban planners engage more effectively.

MindMixer blends urban planning and placemaking, public sector facilitation, dispute resolution, and digital technology into an interactive and accessible online engagement tool. We pride ourselves on providing best-in-class engagement technology to ensure you meet and exceed engagement goals.
