Frequently Asked Questions

When should we start marketing a festival?
Marketing should be year-round. Start early-bird campaigns 8-12 months before the event, with phases escalating through lineup announcements, on-sale dates, and final push.
How do you handle lineup announcement marketing?
We design phased reveal strategies that maximize each announcement impact. From teaser campaigns to headliner drops, each reveal is a marketing moment that drives ticket sales.
Can you help us attract sponsors?
Yes. We create professional sponsorship packages, identify ideal brand partners, and negotiate deals that provide value for both your festival and the sponsoring brands.
How much should we budget for festival marketing?
Festival marketing budgets typically range from 10-20% of projected ticket revenue. We design campaigns that scale with your budget and prioritize the highest-ROI channels.
How do you measure festival marketing success?
We track ticket sales velocity, cost per acquisition, social engagement, media impressions, and sponsorship revenue. Real-time reporting allows us to optimize campaigns throughout the cycle.
Can you help with first-year festival launches?
Absolutely. First-year festivals need strong branding, credibility building, and awareness campaigns. We have launched numerous new festivals from zero to sold-out inaugural events.
