Fast Facts

  • We assess the advertising equivalent value of all sponsorship activities for their music festivals Hurricane, Southside, and Highfield.
  • Sponsors can access all results and calculation details via an online dashboard.
  • Organizers can demonstrate the success of their festival sponsorships, strengthening long-term relationships with partners.

The Challenge

Music festivals rely on strong partnerships with sponsors. In an increasingly competitive environment, sponsors are focused on ensuring their investments generate measurable value. As one of Europe’s leading festival organizers, FKP Scorpio needed a comprehensive advertising evaluation to showcase the value of its festival sponsorships to its partners in a transparent and visually compelling way.

Our Approach

Since 2019, we have been working closely with FKP Scorpio to oversee the entire data collection and analysis process for their music festivals Hurricane, Southside, and Highfield. We model the reach of each marketing activity and calculate the advertising equivalent value using industry-standard CPMs. These results are validated through in-depth visitor surveys and on-site assessments. Additionally, we provide:

  • Structured Data Delivery: Advertising value and survey results are provided in an organized Excel file.
  • Detailed Insights: A Power BI online dashboard offers personalized access for both sponsors and organizers, showcasing all results and calculations.
  • Tailored Reporting: An optional PowerPoint report designed in the festival’s CI, ready for presentation to sponsors.

“Festival evaluations provide our partners with valuable insights into the effectiveness of their investments. They promote transparency and enable well-founded decisions for future engagements. The targeted analysis makes success factors visible and highlights optimization potential.”
