(01) THE APPROACH

Why paid media for Live Events is a different job

Full-funnel ticket campaigns measured on incremental ticket revenue and paced to the deadline.

The ticket engine and the measurement layer are the same system, so pacing decisions are made on real numbers against a fixed date. Server-side tracking and identity resolution unify ad → registration → purchase → attendance, so a ticket resolves to the source that actually sold it. Sponsor leads carry dollar values into a report you can hand over without caveats.

Paid media rewards precision. Accounts structured so the algorithms can learn. Conversion data that carries real margin. Creative tested at volume. All of it compounds.

(02) WHAT'S INCLUDED

The build.

01

Search, Shopping & Marketplaces

High-intent demand, won from the query to the product grid. We engineer search around the intrinsic value of each query, with match types and bidding structured so capital allocation strictly follows profit. Listings, content, and ads run as one connected system, winning the search results and product grids where purchase decisions happen.

02

Paid Social & Programmatic

Social creates demand. Programmatic carries it everywhere. We plan paid social as a demand-creation engine: audience intelligence built on your customer data, modular creative personalized at scale, and signal fidelity that lets platform AI find your next best customer. Programmatic extends it across websites, apps, and streaming TV on vetted inventory.

03

Performance Creative

Creative engineered from thousands of tests, then proven in your market. Volume at that scale teaches what no brief can capture: the first three seconds decide a video's outcome, and the creative that wins applause in the room is seldom the creative that converts in the feed. Your campaigns begin from that proven playbook, and we test and confirm what holds true for your specific audience.

04

Measurement & Incrementality

What your spend actually caused, measured independently of the platforms. Every platform claims credit for the same conversion, so we measure incrementality on your terms. Geo holdouts and lift tests isolate the revenue your spend genuinely caused, and your first-party data anchors every number to reality, answering the question that governs the budget: where does the next dollar go?

(04) HOW WE WORK

A plan, from day one.

01
Audit & Model

We start with a full account audit that surfaces wasted spend and untapped demand, then model the economics: what a customer is worth, what you can afford to pay, and where the profit actually sits. This becomes the plan every dollar has to answer to.

02
Measurement First

Before launch we agree on how success will be judged and stand up the tracking to prove it: server-side events, offline conversions fed into your CRM, and a clean baseline for incrementality testing. Success is defined before a single dollar is spent.

03
Build & Launch

We get media in market fast so learning starts early, structuring accounts around profit and loading the funnel with performance creative to test. Early signal compounds, so we compress setup without cutting corners on tracking.

04
Test & Scale

Every week we read the results, cut what loses, and put budget behind what wins. Lift tests confirm the winners are genuinely incremental before we scale them, and a fixed share of budget stays reserved for testing new channels and creative.

05
Report & Defend

You get reporting in business terms: revenue, contribution margin, pipeline, and incremental ROAS, presented in the language your leadership already speaks. It is built so you can defend every dollar to your finance team without translating first.

(06) FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes. Our published work includes Cirque du Soleil — Dralion at 15x ROAS. We run paid media inside a full-stack engagement built for Live Events, Conferences & Festivals, so it is wired to the same measurement layer, CRM and first-party data the rest of your growth runs on — which is what makes the numbers defensible.
