The Challenge

The band had a 12-city tour booked but was worried about playing to empty rooms. Previous tours barely broke even despite positive reviews and a growing online following.

The Strategy

Geo-Targeted Campaign Strategy

Created city-specific campaigns 6-8 weeks before each tour date.

Local Playlist Targeting

Pitched to local curators and created city-specific content.

Merch Pre-Orders

Launched exclusive tour merch with local designs for each city.

Fan Activation

Built street teams in each market through fan engagement campaigns.
