NOMTOC Parade Pop-Up (West Bank)
The NOMTOC Parade activation was the first big public moment in the partnership between Newtral Groundz and 5 Starr Tax Pros. Set up near the circle on the route, the pop-up was built to create visibility, capture leads, and give the community a real reason to stop by. The team brought a full on-site presence with clear branding, flyers, a QR code for database entry, and giveaways that included t-shirts and Cash App prizes.

Newtral Groundz has always centered its platform around amplifying local businesses, creatives, and community leaders. Partnering with 5 Starr Tax Pros reflects that mission.
