gigmit’s Live Music Accelerator Berlin celebrates its launch one year ago! In honour of this occasion, they invite you all to their panel at MW:M19 – reflecting findings and results, discussing booking, event management and online data. Plus, they want to toast on their anniversary – inviting you to free drinks! Organising events like concerts or festivals is easy to handle if you have artists, equipment and venue wrapped up. But how do you put events out there and target the audience for your event? Flyers are out, marketing agencies are expensive, Berlin has changed, and is Facebook really dead? With all this, event management and digital marketing have become much more difficult. And it’s not getting any easier for smaller venues or yet unknown artists. This is where gigmit – the platform for live music professional’s easy event booking – steps in, as they launched the funding initiative Live Music Accelerator Berlin (LMAB) last year. To strengthen Berlin’s live music landscape, they aim to ensure that even small Berlin-based clubs and yet unknown Berlin-based artists are able to organise well-attended gigs in Berlin. At MW:M19, they want to celebrate their one-year birthday with both a panel and a reception afterwards!

What happened so far: LMAB Panel talks about their event marketing

Since gigmit’s Live Music Accelerator Berlin celebrates its first anniversary, its time to look back! Thus, the project’s stakeholders Markus Fitzgerald (CEO) and Steffen Rudnik (Head of Content) talk about results and experiences at MW:M19. They will address the important questions in this context: Which set up is necessary for events to be sold out? What works well and what should be avoided in event marketing? How important are online data? On their panel at MW:M19, stakeholders and project participants will talk about their experiences, marketing over 130 events via Facebook and Instagram. Sources of errors and potential of improvement – you’ll learn some important first-hand information! Learn more about the panel and its speakers here – and don’t hesitate and join the (Facebook) event!
