ROI

How We Address Your KPIs

Live music translated into the metrics that matter upstairs.

Direct Footfall

Driven by online promotion

Audiences who come specifically for the show — found through event listings, paid social, email campaigns, and search. Trackable, intentional, new to your venue.

Indirect Footfall

Driven by atmosphere

Walk-ins drawn by a packed, lively room. A full venue is visible from the street. People follow a crowd — especially on nights that would otherwise be quiet.

Dwell Time

Driven by event quality

Music keeps people at the bar longer. A curated lineup with a proper set structure holds an audience through multiple rounds. Longer stays mean higher spend per head.

Customer Retention

Driven by regularity & lineup variety

A predictable, recurring event builds a returning audience. Different artists each time keeps it fresh. Regulars bring friends. The venue becomes part of their routine.

Promotion

Cross-Platform Discovery

We don't post and hope.

Event Listings

Every show submitted to Eventbrite, Dice, Skiddle, Ents24, Songkick, and Bandsintown — reaching audiences actively looking for something to do.

Search & Local Discovery

Google My Business and Facebook Events optimised for local intent searches. We build the venue's presence, not just the show's. People searching "live music near me" find you.

AI & LLM Discovery

Our shows appear in ChatGPT and AI assistant recommendations for "what's on in London" searches. A growing discovery channel most promoters haven't touched yet.

In-House Marketing

Ready-to-print poster designs delivered to your team before every show. Your walls do the work. We build the assets, you put them up.

Mailing List

A growing database of verified past attendees — real people who have already bought tickets to our shows. Every new event goes straight to their inbox.

Paid Social

Campaigns built around each show with our own marketing budget. Boosted posts, targeted audiences, trackable reach — not organic-only.

Operations

Your staff won't deal with musicians.
That's our job.

01

Artist Agreements

Every artist is contracted in advance. Terms, set times, and expectations are signed off before the date is confirmed.

02

Schedule Reminders

Automated reminders sent to every artist in the lead-up. Load-in times, soundcheck slots, and set times confirmed well in advance.

03

Backline & Tech Info

Every artist receives a full technical brief — what to bring, what's provided, what the stage setup looks like. No surprises on the night.

04

On-Site Management

Our sound engineer is on-site for every show and doubles as event manager. One point of contact. Your team stays focused on the bar.
