We're extremely happy how mustard repositioned the brand for the next generation of attendees. After being in the festival landscape since 2011, it was a hard task to revamp the festival and connect with a new customer base. It really paid off!

FAQS

Got a question? We'd love to chat.

Can you help if our audience is international?

Yes. Our campaigns have driven bookings from over 100 countries in Europe, North America, Africa and Australia. We drive sales within international domestic markets, as well targeting international audiences. Our campaigns help identify markets with opportunity and help craft strategies to drive growth in each. 

What's actually included as a Growth Partner?

To put it simply, we deliver growth strategies and design a marketing infrastrature that is built to drive more ticket sales and bookings, and we have a performance execution team that manages your paid media campaigns and performance creative production across social and email. We use proprietary reporting and dashboards based on our unique experience as successful event operators to help you understand the metrics that matter for growing your attendees.  

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

Advanced bookings and visits, with audience build as the leading indicator. Because the purchase is long and fragmented, we measure whether the audience intent is forming and advanced bookings are driven at the size and pace required, well before anyone can count on-the-day footfall. 

Do you replace our marketing team or work alongside it?

Alongside. Destination marketing teams hold the local stakeholder relationships, partner networks and brand management. What is usually missing is a function that purely owns growth as a metric, alongside the strategy, performance execution and commercial discipline to hold it accountable.

We're a regional campaign, not a national board. Can you still help?

Yes, we work with lots of regional tourism boards and BID projects on a city's cultural offer, as well as working with local retail destinations to drive uplifts in footfall. 

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.
