FAQS

Got a question? We'd love to chat.

We're part of a large group with several sites. Can you handle that?

We work on the group strategies and the individual site simultaneously, and we are used to reporting into commercial teams and boards, as well as marketing teams. 

Do you replace our marketing team or work alongside it?

Alongside. Attraction teams generally know their product and their operation better than any agency could, and the operational constraints matter enormously. What tends to be missing is a function that sits across your marketing & commercial department who keeps your growth targets, strategies, commercial forecasting, and marketing systems accountable.

How long have you been operating?

From launching and scaling new experiences into the market as operators, mustard started in 2013 as the industry-leading marketing agency for festivals, gigs and clubs in the UK and Europe. Since then, we've evolved into a growth partner across the entire experience economy, driven by our unique background as operators and extensive insights from driving millions in ticket sales and bookings. We've delivered over £400m in revenue across 20+ countries and built a track record that spans every scale of experience, from independent festivals to global entertainment groups.

Where are you based and what markets do you operate in?

We're based in Manchester and London, working with clients across 3 continents in Europe, North America and Australia. We work with experiences in festivals, sports, attractions, hospitality, tours, and destinations. We understand the commercial pressures on a stadium operator are different from a festival promoter or an attractions group.

What does success look like and how do you measure it?

Predictable booking revenue. How we get there will depend on your experience and commercial goals. For a festival it might be ticket sales velocity and sell-through. For a venue it might be capacity utilisation. For a tour it might be secondary market growth. We define the metric that matters most to your bottom line and work backwards from there.
