THE FIGHT FOR ATTENTION

Post-pandemic "revenge touring" created an oversaturated mess. Organic reach is dead. Fans are selective. To move hard tickets in this environment, you don't need "brand awareness" — you need operational efficiency and verified return on ad spend.

We don't just spend budgets; we engineer visibility in a crowded feed.

Campaign Lifecycle

THE FOUR-PHASE FLIGHT ARCHITECTURE

Every tour follows a predictable emotional arc. We've engineered our campaign methodology to match — maximizing efficiency at each stage.

Phase 1

The Announce

The highest efficiency window. We treat the announce as a data harvesting event, building retargeting pools that secure the tour's financial baseline.

Phase 2

The On-Sale

Pooling budgets tour-wide to maximize algorithmic learning. We use velocity to drive momentum in the critical first 10 days.

Phase 3

Maintenance

Fighting fatigue with dynamic creative rotation. Inverting colors, swapping assets, and keeping CPCs low.

Phase 4

The Closeout

The sniper approach. High-frequency, geo-fenced "Shoutout" videos targeting specific radius audiences to clear remaining inventory.

The 'announce' is not just a PR moment; it is a revenue moat. By aggressively harvesting data in the first 48 hours, we lower the Cost Per Acquisition for the entire remainder of the tour.

Identity Resolution Engine

SOUNDWAVE AUDIENCE INTELLIGENCE

You ran waitlist campaigns, collected emails, built SMS lists... but did any of those people actually buy tickets?

Powered by the Soundwave Analytics Engine. Ticketing platforms and social ad managers rarely talk. We act as the middleware, extracting and sanitizing sales data to provide a "Single Source of Truth" for management.

  • Verified Data: High-frequency data processing via Google Cloud Scheduler provides stable "end-of-day" truth — not volatile estimates.
  • Identity Resolution: The "Ghost Fan" problem solved. We match disparate digital signals — mobile browsing, email opens, past purchases — to create unified profiles of your High-Value Fans.
  • Fan Fidelity: A fan who buys in 2023 and browses on mobile in 2025 shouldn't look like a stranger. We treat long-term fans with the fidelity they deserve.

Strategic Operations

MORE THAN ALGORITHMS

Technology enables scale. Human expertise drives strategy. We bring both to every tour.

Strategic Budget Synergy

We work directly with booking agents to formulate data-driven strategies that artists can deploy to procure portions of tour marketing budgets to help offset the cost of infrastructure. We don't negotiate on your behalf; we provide the architectural leverage and first-party fan data needed to unlock venue subsidies, ensuring the tour’s visibility is funded correctly through established promoter protocols.

Omni-Channel Strategy

The channel landscape is fluid. We don’t follow a static rulebook; we architect diversified ecosystems calibrated to the artist's specific audience density. While Instagram and TikTok often lead for engagement and discovery, we leverage YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, Spotify Audio, and Programmatic DSPs wherever the data proves fans are active. Performance insights drive real-time allocation.
