FAQS

Got a question? We'd love to chat.

Who founded Mustard and what's your background in the experience economy?

Formerly known as Mustard Media, the agency was founded in Manchester in 2013 by experience creators who successfully launched and scaled new-to-market experiences in the UK and Europe for over a decade. With a team of the industry's leading ticket strategists and performance marketers, mustard has an unrivaled understanding of what it takes to fill capacities and scale experience brands.

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.  

We're a restaurant, not an experience venue. Can we still work together?

If you're up for us building a reason to visit that is not the food alone, or turning a menu launch into something that moves sales, we're your people!

We're a multi site group. Can you handle that complexity?

Yes, we work with hospitality brands frequently at group level. Our reporting and strategies operate across portfolio view and individual sites.

Do you replace our marketing team or work alongside it?

Alongside. In hospitality the in house team usually owns the brand voice, social presence and customer service relationships. We come in to support as growth & performance marketing specialists. What tends to be missing is the commercial layer above — forecasting, always-on infrastructure and marketing sytems holding growth targets accountable. 

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

Covers and bookings against target, venue utilisation, year-on-year revenue, retention and first-time bookers as the leading indicator.
