Pollstar is the leading global trade publication and data provider for the live entertainment industry, offering news, analysis, and extensive databases on concert tours, box office results, and industry contacts for professionals like promoters, agents, and managers, as well as fans. It tracks tour performance, publishes rankings, and hosts the major Pollstar Live! conference, serving as a key resource for understanding the business of live music.

2. Innercrowd

In the world of festivals, events, and brands, there exists a fundamental truth: at the core of every successful endeavour, you'll find a tight-knit innercrowd. These individuals are not just enthusiasts; they are the beating heart of the brand—the ones who bring its story to life and amplify it for the world to hear. Those who act as pacemakers for their surroundings become the conscience and backbone of a brand. When treated with care and respect, this dedicated fan base can deliver tremendous value and insight. By consistently nurturing, rewarding, and collaborating with your innercrowd, you breathe lifeinto a brand that becomes not only successful but expressive and vibrant.

As event organizers ourselves, we've long understood the vital importance of this core audience. At the same time, we've been on a quest to find ways to create mutual value for both the brand and its most dedicated fans.

In today's world—where connectivity and online presence are at an all-time high—it's paradoxically more challenging than ever to directly engage with your own community. This is where Innercrowd comes into play. We firmly believe that with the right technology and strategies, brands can keep a sharp focus on their core audience and flourish in ways they never imagined.

Our journey is about unlocking the potential of your innercrowd—empowering brands to nurture their dedicated fans and amplify their voices in ways that were once out of reach. It’s a journey of mutual growth and shared success.

Are you ready to unleash the full potential of your brand? We are—and we're here to help you do just that.
