Live entertainment partnerships have always been a marketer's dream...your brand next to the excitement, fun and memories that only “live” can bring. 

These sponsorships have always come in different shapes and sizes, but when the pandemic hit and the ability to partner with live event producers was nearly erased, marketers turned to all-digital ways of engaging consumers with their brands.

Well, guess what - live is back. But digital isn’t going anywhere. Fans want BOTH and this BOTH scenario (aka hybrid events) puts even more possibilities into a marketers tool kit for reaching and engaging fans. 

Brands, Meet Mandolin Studio

Mandolin Studio is a platform built to digitally engage fans whether they’re in a venue or 1,000 miles away and whether an artist is on and off tour. Imagine…

A fully-branded livestream experience with the ability for fans to buy your product embedded in the show.

Sponsored “behind the scenes” footage of the band before they go on stage

A series of intimate, VIP streamed shows, sponsored by you made available only to your most loyal consumers

Unique experiential activations at live shows where your brand gives fans the chance to enter a VR live music world

Sponsored NFTs where proceeds are dedicated to the charity your consumers are passionate about

Special merch items, sponsored by your brand, made available in the Mandolin mobile app to sell to the fans at the venue or the fans watching across the globe.
