Marketing for entertainment, venues, and events in Iowa.

An event's marketing window is brutal and unforgiving. The date does not move, the room does not shrink, and every quiet week before the show is a week you never get back.

We market theatres, music halls, producers, summits, and pulls across Iowa. The calendar is the whole business, so the calendar is where we work.

Tickets sell in the last week. Attention is built in the six before it.

Every venue knows the shape of the curve. Sales trickle, then spike right before the date. So it is tempting to believe the last week is where the marketing happens. It is not. The last week is where the marketing pays off. The people who bought on Thursday decided they were coming three weeks ago, the first time a friend shared the post.

We see the same misses over and over. The venue that only posts when something is already sold out, which tells the town to stop checking. The event announced with plenty of heart and no lead time. And the most painful one: the show that was great and undocumented. No photos, no video, nothing to prove it happened, and nothing to sell next year's show with.

The show ends. The footage sells the next one.

We plan the promotion backward from the date, keep the drumbeat going through the quiet weeks, and make sure the night itself gets captured. Next year's marketing gets made this year, on purpose.

The venues, producers, and events we work with.

What a venue or event actually gets.

Not a package grid. The specific work that fills a room on a specific date.

A promotion plan built backward from the date

Announcement, reminder waves, last-call push. Mapped to the calendar weeks out, so the quiet middle of the window never goes quiet.

Posts between the sellouts

A feed that gives people a reason to check back before things sell out, not a feed that only speaks when it is too late to come.

The night, captured

Photos and video from the show itself, edited into the material that sells the next one. The best ad for next year is proof of this year.

A calendar people can actually find

Your website, Google listing, and event pages showing the same dates, the same times, and a working way to buy or reserve.

Proof from the roster.

And for the BOSS Business Owner Summer Summit, we delivered the whole package: the logo, the website, the social posts, the videos, and the fliers. Getting people to show up on a date that does not move is the job.

The date is set. Start building the attention now.
