As an Experience Expert you bet I enjoy a good music festival 👏🏻
Recently, I’ve observed a growing discussion among fellow organizers regarding lesser-known festivals and the opportunities they present for independent brands.
While renowned festivals like #Coachella, #Ultra, and #SXSW undeniably wield significant influence over vast audiences and brands, it’s essential to recognize the saturation and limitations they entail in terms of sponsorships and partnerships. These industry giants predominantly align with established brands possessing sizable followings, leaving little space for independent entities.
Contrary to popular belief, focusing solely on these mega-events isn’t the only viable option. Many festival-goers opt for lesser-known gatherings due to the considerable cost disparity in tickets, travel, and accommodation, allowing them to allocate more resources towards supporting small brands. Moreover, attendees are drawn to these smaller festivals for the enhanced experiential satisfaction they offer, which often diminishes as events grow in scale.
Hence, I advise my clients to explore opportunities beyond the realm of Coachella. Some of the benefits to start:
✅ Reduced competition enables your product and brand to command greater visibility, standing out prominently rather than blending in with the crowd.
✅ The potential to propose innovative concepts and a higher likelihood of implementation. Unlike major festivals, which face logistical constraints due to their sheer size, smaller events are more receptive to novel ideas.
✅ The opportunity for organic growth alongside a festival, positioning your brand as a premier partner. Larger festivals typically have established partnerships, leaving little room for new entrants.
Embracing lesser-known festivals presents a strategic avenue for brand exposure and growth, offering distinct advantages over saturating markets dominated by industry giants.
