## What started out filling dance-floors went on to fill destinations, arenas and stadiums around the world.

## 2013

![D00d3751b43dea233ab90b3139453ad5](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/d00d3751b43dea233ab90b3139453ad5.jpg?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1785927795&s=b47e70b307f83b4afc9d5b8128cee981)

**mustard is born.** Promoters around the world kept asking how we sold out our own events, Parklife Festival and The Warehouse Project. In October 2013, Rob and Ed incorporated Mustard Media to answer them: a marketing agency built by promoters, for promoters.

## 2014

![Mc Gill Productions Manchester e944eac5 3013 48db a680 d753dad37169](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/McGill_Productions_Manchester__e944eac5-3013-48db-a680-d753dad37169.jpg?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1785927875&s=3a42badb634b59d09c4ebd865705846d)

**First office. Manchester, UK.** Mustard gets its first home in Manchester. A small room, a big client problem to solve, and the start of a decade of filling capacities. Our first clients included Kendal Calling, Snowbombing and Manchester Pride - all of whom are still clients to this day!

## 2015

![Princess marg](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/princess-marg.png?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1783503194&s=13722625414abf086c806b16970d9cb4)

**Annie Mac presents Lost &amp; Found. Our first festival from scratch.** We headed up and co-founded AMP Lost &amp; Found in Malta with Annie Mac and The Warehouse Project. The debut sold 8,000 tickets in days and proved the model: we could launch a festival from nothing, not just market one. It put Malta on the international festival map and paved the way for the artist-led tourism boom.

## 2016

![20240412125612 Friday Pond Skim Snowpark Terrace MH SB24 DSC9650 Matt Higgs](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/20240412125612_Friday_Pond-Skim_Snowpark-Terrace_MH_SB24__DSC9650-Matt-Higgs.jpg?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1785928070&s=c8bfecf5fcc07b3a7b2d1a63ae4f7cbe)

**The roster takes shape.** Hideout, Festival No.6, elrow and many more. The names that built the UK festival calendar start trusting Mustard with their campaigns, and the playbook sharpens with every sell-out.

## 2018

![TRIIP Festival 125](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/TRIIP-Festival_125.jpg?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1785920384&s=272128dbaf10af503f07e0f8a577e4b2)

**The group takes shape.** Mustard Group is formed, laying the structure for what comes next: an agency and a portfolio of our own experiences.

## 2019

![King promise cr KENNETH DAPAAH afro nation detroit 2024 billboard 1548](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/king-promise-cr-KENNETH-DAPAAH-afro-nation-detroit-2024-billboard-1548.webp?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1785928150&s=5f27c66d3f31befcd18f51e3210024d7)

**Afro Nation sells out in 48 hours.** We were the full 360 marketing team for a brand-new festival in Portugal: brand, website, strategy, and paid media. Year one sold 20,000 tickets and sold out in 48 hours. Afro Nation went on to expand across 3 continents.

## 2020

![0 Esca Freight Island Seating Nov4th2020 Jody Hartley Hi Res 12jpeg](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/0_EscaFreightIsland_Seating_Nov4th2020_JodyHartley_HiRes-12jpeg.avif?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1785928263&s=f0af190899affa200d33a8fff515005d)

**The year the music stopped.** COVID shut down live events overnight and took Mustard to the edge of closure. We refused to go quietly: Business Keeps on Dancing became the industry's lifeline through free weekly webinars, and we went 360 on the launch of Escape to Freight Island, the UK's pioneering socially distanced venue and our first step into large-scale hospitality.

## 2021

![Ba470ac0 cec2 41c2 a21f 62cc900c3e0e](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/ba470ac0-cec2-41c2-a21f-62cc900c3e0e.webp?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1785940856&s=a9f7bd57c90dbc30004c287c43d408a2)

**The comeback.** With live events still on their knees, we helped clients sell 620,000 tickets and generate £35m in revenue in 12 months. Proof the model works even in the hardest market live entertainment has ever known.

## 2022

![Images 11](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/images-11.jpeg?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1785928720&s=b07713dc82fb2a4aa09c8abf4ad6b9e2)

**Home in Ancoats.** Mustard moves to Colony, One Silk Street, in the heart of Ancoats. The office that would carry the agency through its biggest years yet.  
  
mustard co-creates **Fisher Presents: TRIIP Festival Malta** which goes on to sell out for the next 4 years.

## 2023

![Football flags](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/football-flags.png?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1783503193&s=8deb60373711f6d0949c210cb7f2dde8)

**Into sport. And gold on TikTok.** Mustard enters the sports market with Aston Villa and Team GB, the start of a journey that now runs from club football to Olympic sport. The same year we become a TikTok Gold Agency Partner, with Hideout Festival the proof: TikTok outsold Meta on tickets for the first time, and TikTok published it as a success story.

## 2024

![MUSTARD HEADSHOTS31937](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/MUSTARD_HEADSHOTS31937.jpg?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5395&fp-y=0.4934&dm=1785930181&s=d7d75be68173dfa980b1fb3f1bf4c6e4)

**Sian Bennett becomes a partner** and will then go on to be the MD in 2026.

**4.2m tickets.** £229m in client revenue. Mustard marks 10 years of trading with a record: over 4.2m tickets sold and £229m generated for clients in just 3 years. From club nights in Manchester to Sziget, Take That's Greatest Weekend, Bongo's Bingo, and Visit Liverpool.

**The Festival Republic roster.** Festival Republic brings Mustard on board across its portfolio, including Wireless, Big Smoke, and its Malta festivals. The biggest names in UK live music, backed by mustard performance.

## 2025

![Tik Tok UKIRL Awards25 JR 0507](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/TikTok-UKIRL-Awards25-JR-0507.jpg?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1785772198&s=b0494a6c28469696f9c02670e3fb39a0)

A big year! **Chelsea Winter Village launches,** an experience we created from scratch, and welcomes 120,000 people in its first season. We open our second office in Soho, London. Reading &amp; Leeds wins Greatest Performance at the TikTok Ad Awards, with mustard the only independent and events based agency on a shortlist of global networks.

## 2026

![DSCF6224](https://mustard-media.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/images/DSCF6224.jpg?w=1600&h=1600&q=80&fm=webp&fit=crop&crop=focalpoint&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&dm=1786002649&s=03bed34f62664be60b48c146c9658f0d)

**The growth partner for the experience economy.** A new identity for a bigger ambition. Today mustard works across 50+ festivals, sports franchises, large-scale hospitality venues, attractions, tourism campaigns, competitive socialising brands, and family experiences, backed by £400m in ticket revenue across 20 countries and the booker data that comes with it. This website is part of that story.

We’d hit a ceiling and needed a fresh perspective. mustard gave us that with a strategy we could move on straight away. Their ad creative and paid media support took it further, delivering results fast.
