Partnership at ESNS festival, three examples of brand activation by our partners:

See Tickets

ESNS and See Tickets have agreed to a long term commitment, starting in 2022. ESNS offers a wide variety of products and services, including festival- and conference tickets, hotel arrangements, merchandise and cashless payment options. In the new customer journey See Tickets provides, all products will be selectable in one single transaction.

"We are extremely excited to enter into this partnership with ESNS. The combination of the great history and authority that ESNS brings and our smart and scalable e-commerce solution, bodes well for the future. Besides our experience in the dance industry, this partnership fits well with the ambitions we have in the world of live music." — Testimonial by Marijke van den Bosch, managing director See Tickets Benelux

Soundcharts

ESNS teamed up with Soundcharts as a data partner for ESNS Radar & Analytics, launched in 2022. This is a platform presenting European charts & festivals insights developed with the support of Creative Europe. The charts track and show European artists, with the aim to display the impact of the artists’ music outside of their home country. Soundchart’s extensive database provides an extensive catalogue of artists tracked on different online platforms; from airplay to playlisting on DSP’s, to social media followers. The data that is being used for the ESNS Radar and Analytics, is only a fraction of what is provided by Soundcharts and is therefore already expected to extend the current data modules even further in the coming months.

"Thanks to Soundcharts’ accomplished data tracking and helpful team, ESNS will not only make the life of managers, agents, bookers, promoters and artists easier; we will also break more borders for artists." — Testimonial by Oskar Strajn, project lead of ESNS Radar & Analytics and ESNS booker

Heineken

“Music has the power to evoke emotions and bring back memories and should be the key player in branding. I had the chance to explore ESNS and was blown away by the raw talent of the musicians on the smaller stages. It was a great opportunity to connect and be inspired by new artists.” - Testimonial by Els Dijkhuizen, CMO Heineken NL
