Areas of Expertise
Corporate Services
Whether you’re about to start a new entity or have existed for a while, our advices can free you up to create without worry. Entity formation, JV/Co-Pro/Partnership relationships, merger/acquisition, due diligence, contract terms, negotiations with venues, vendors, suppliers, staff and artists are all within our expertise.
Finance
The lifeblood of any business - the dollars. We’ve forecast and had singular responsibility on P&Ls for events with budgets of $50M+. We’ve also watched the cash flow for startups when month to month is critical for survival. Festivals and events don’t have uniform ins and outs, so proper planning is mandatory. We can help you with show forecasting and budgeting, financial modeling, sales strategy and event life-cycle monetary management. If acquisition is your goal, we’ve done it and can help make sure you present your best case.
Liability & Risk
All businesses need to minimize their legal liability and risk. Events with large gatherings of people pose a specific set of challenges for ownership. We make sure you properly plan for all scenarios, and are protected in the event of an unfortunate occurrence. .
Why?
Why do we do this work? It’s simple: the brain tattoo. We’ve produced hundreds of shows and one thing is absolutely certain to happen at each one. There is a moment, usually on the last day, when a band is playing and the sun is shining just right and we see the reaction people are having to the event. Their smiles, their dancing, their in the moment joy. And then the realization hits - they will always remember this. This day, this event, when they saw this band with that person. It’s a permanent mark on their memory. A brain tattoo. It doesn’t go away. And we gave it to them. That is an amazing thing to know and an awesome responsibility. We live for it, and we’ll help you get that realization too.
Get in Touch
If you’d like to talk about your event, we’d love to listen. That’s the first step - us listening and asking questions. A good conversation. Let’s talk.
