Reach city hall before the budget is set.
Oxpium builds the list of towns in your territory, finds who decides at each city hall, spots the projects the council just approved, and runs the campaign while the budget is still open.

The towns in your territory, at the right size.
A village of 900 people and a city of 24,000 don't have the same budget or the same person in charge. Tell the agent the state, the population, the services you sell into: it searches public sources, business listings and town websites, removes the duplicates, and hands you a list.

184 cities and towns between 5,000 and 25,000 residents.
A territory
A state, a group of counties or a radius around your office. The agent covers every city, town and village in it, with no duplicates.
A population
Under 5,000, from 5,000 to 25,000, over 50,000: the published population tells you what budget and which departments to expect.
The services they run
Water utility, parks, library, police: the agent reads each town's website and keeps the ones that run what you sell into.
New leadership
Towns that hired a new city manager or elected a new mayor this year: contracts get a second look when the people in charge change.
The right person at each city hall.
In a small town, everything goes through the clerk. In a larger one, the city manager runs the staff and a department head writes the spec, then the council votes. The agent fills in the columns your campaign needs, reads each town's website and verifies every email before adding it.

171 city hall emails found and verified.
The city hall email
The agent reads each town's website, finds the email of city hall or of the department you need, and verifies it before adding it.
Manager or clerk
The city or town manager, or the clerk in towns that don't have one, with their email when it can be verified. They run the day to day.
The department head
Public works, parks, IT, finance: the agent reads the staff directory and notes the director who owns the budget you're after.
Services and projects
Online permits, utility bill pay, projects in the capital plan: what each town's website says, sorted into their own columns.
Automations that read the council minutes for you.
A town talks about a project long before it buys anything: at council meetings, in its capital plan, in its job postings. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list. You hear about it before the bid, not after.

Council approvals
Every Monday, the agent reads the council minutes each town posts on its website and notes the projects that were just approved.
Hiring
Every morning, an automation flags the towns that post a job: public works, utilities, IT, police. They show up with the job title.
A new city manager
Every month, the agent spots the towns with a new city manager. Someone new in the job often takes a fresh look at contracts and tools.
Your own watch
Any watch you can write in one sentence, like towns announcing a park renovation: the agent reruns it on schedule and flags what changed.
A campaign that lands before the budget is set.
Department heads send their requests months before the council adopts the budget, and each town publishes its calendar. Write while a line can still be added, not after adoption. The sending window follows city hall hours, and the sequence stops on the first reply.
Subject town and next year's budget
Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.
Before budget requests
The agent reads each town's budget calendar on its website, so your messages go out while department heads are still writing requests.
City hall hours
Emails and calls go out Tuesday to Thursday mornings, when staff are at their desks. You call from your browser, and every call is transcribed.
Tailored messages
Every email is built from the list's columns, and an agent step rereads the town's latest minutes and capital plan to write the follow-up.
Stops on reply
As soon as city hall replies, the sequence stops for that town. You take it from there, and the next follow-up never goes out.
Frequently asked questions
Write “cities and towns of 5,000 to 25,000 residents in Wisconsin”. The agent searches public sources, pulls each city hall's business listing and website, removes the duplicates, and hands you the list with the county, population, phone and website. It takes a few minutes.
Ask for “the city manager or clerk of each town, with their email”. The agent looks for them in professional databases and in each town's staff directory, and verifies every email. When the person can't be found, the city hall email takes over.
Tell the agent once: “every Monday, read the council minutes posted by the towns on my list and note the projects that were approved”. The automation runs on its own, and those towns land at the top of your list with the project and the meeting date.
A first email about next year's budget, a call three days later, then a follow-up the agent writes from each town's latest minutes. Emails go out from your own mailbox Tuesday to Thursday between 9 am and noon, and the sequence stops as soon as a town replies.
For 180 towns with their website read, each city hall email and 150 verified manager or clerk emails, count around €25 of data on top of the subscription. An agency typically charges several hundred euros for a comparable list, delivered once and never updated.See pricing
Not always. Under the purchasing threshold each state and town sets, staff can buy on quotes or with a purchasing card. Above it, the town runs a formal bid. Oxpium doesn't track bids: it gets you known at city hall before anyone writes the spec.
