How this Works

This is your virtual promoter — the plan that tells you exactly what to post, when to post it, and how to get more people through the door on gig night.

21 days from announcement to after the show. Every day has a brief, a post type, example copy you can rip up and rewrite in your own voice, and a checklist. Your progress saves automatically.

The goal is momentum. A consistent, strategic build of noise so by the night itself, people are hyped before you play a single note.

1
Use every member. Collab posts, spotlights, the day-before push — all of it works harder when every member is involved. More accounts = more reach.
2
Rip up the example copy. It's a starting point, not a script. Make it sound like you — not a marketing agency.
3
No hashtags. Location copy and direct callouts only. Tag the venue, tag the city, write for the people in that room.
4
Day 1 first, always. Lock your CTA before you post anything. Ticket link, free entry, or just a date and venue — know where you're sending people.

The Night is
the Marketing
The gig isn't the end of the campaign. It's the start of the next one. Here's how to work the room like a promoter — not just a performer.
IT'S NOT SELLING.
IT'S PROMOTING.
Every musician feels the awkwardness of selling yourself on the night. Shift the framing. You're not selling. You're promoting. You're a promoter who also happens to play. Once you internalise that, everything on this list feels natural.
