Three jobs. One full-funnel team.
Sell tickets, grow an audience, or build a media brand. Most entertainment campaigns need all three, and we run them as one connected funnel rather than disconnected tactics.
For events, festivals, tours and shows, ticket sales are the only metric that matters. We build full-funnel paid campaigns across Meta, Google and TikTok, layer in retargeting for warm audiences, and track every rand back to seats sold. Our clients average 4.8x return on ad spend, so spend goes where it sells.
Explore ticket campaignsVenues, artists and media brands live or die by the size and loyalty of their audience. We build organic social, content series and creator partnerships that turn casual followers into regulars who show up, buy tickets and tell their friends. Buzz that compounds between events, not just before them.
Explore audience growthThe biggest events and media brands are built on reputation and reach. We secure coverage in entertainment and lifestyle media, run announcement and launch moments, and manage influencer relationships so your name carries weight before tickets even go on sale. Earned, owned and paid working together.

From a single sold-out show to a year-round festival, artist or media brand audience, this is how we put bums on seats and eyes on screens.
Full-funnel ticket-sales campaigns built around your on-sale date. We run paid social and search across Meta, Google and TikTok, set up pixel and conversion tracking against your ticketing platform, and retarget warm audiences who clicked but did not buy. Spend scales up as a show heats up and pulls back when it is sold out. Every campaign reports back to tickets sold and cost per ticket, not vanity reach. Our clients average 4.8x return on ad spend see full pricing.
Learn moreEntertainment lives on social. We run the organic engine behind your events and brand: short-form video for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, behind-the-scenes content, line-up reveals, countdowns and post-event recaps that keep momentum between shows. We manage community, reply to fans and time content around your announcement calendar so each drop lands with maximum reach. Buzz that builds an audience, not just a one-off spike.
Learn moreThe right creator can sell out a room overnight. We identify, brief and manage influencers and content creators whose audiences match your event or brand, from local micro-creators to national names. We handle outreach, contracts, content approval and tracking so partnerships actually drive ticket sales and follows rather than empty impressions. Ideal for festivals, tours, venue launches and media brands building reach fast.

We craft launch and announcement moments, manage media accreditation for events, and handle reputation so your brand carries weight. PR runs alongside paid and social so earned, owned and paid all tell the same story see full pricing.
Learn moreGreat entertainment marketing needs great creative. We produce the scroll-stopping assets your campaigns run on: event key art, social video edits, trailers and teasers, line-up graphics, ad creative variations for testing, and on-site capture at events for recap content. Everything is built for the platform it runs on and the audience you are trying to reach, so creative carries the weight instead of fighting the algorithm. Creative is included across our campaign and growth packages.
Learn moreYou cannot grow what you cannot measure. We track ticket sales, cost per ticket, return on ad spend, audience growth, engagement and the channels driving each sale, then feed it straight back into the next campaign. After each event you get a plain-language report covering what worked, what did not and what we are changing next time. We build first-party audiences over time so every event launches to a bigger, warmer crowd than the last see full pricing.
Learn moreHow we work
Here’s what working with Juicy Designs on your event, artist or media brand campaign looks like from day one.
We learn your event, artist or brand, your audience and your goals. We review past campaigns, ticketing data and competitors, then map the audiences most likely to buy and the channels that reach them.
Week 1A campaign plan built around your on-sale and event dates. Announcement moments, paid budget by phase, content calendar, influencer and PR targets, and clear ticket-sales and audience KPIs agreed upfront.
Week 1-2Creative goes live. Paid campaigns launch and scale. PR and influencer partnerships hit. Social buzz builds toward your on-sale date. Everything is tracked against ticket sales from the first day.
CampaignWe watch sales daily and shift budget to what is selling. Underperforming creative is swapped, winning audiences are scaled, and retargeting closes the buyers who hesitated. The goal is a sold-out room.
CampaignAfter each event you get a plain-language report: tickets sold, cost per ticket, ROAS and audience growth. We build first-party audiences so every future event launches to a bigger, warmer crowd.
What makes us different
Strategy-led campaigns. Real sector experience. No reporting fluff. Tickets sold, audiences grown, brands built.
We have run campaigns for live events, festivals, artists, venues and media brands across South Africa. We understand on-sale timing, pre-event buzz, the dead patch between announcement and event day, and how to sell the last 20% of tickets that decide whether a show is profitable. This is not a generic agency template applied to entertainment, it is built for it.
Co-founder and CEO Cobus is Google Ads certified and co-founder Wynand is a Meta Business Partner, so paid is run by certified specialists, not juniors. We pair that with PR, social, influencer and creative under one roof, which means your ticket campaign, your buzz and your media coverage all push in the same direction. Average 4.8x return on ad spend across our clients.
Founders Cobus and Wynand are directly involved in your strategy, not an account manager reading from a template. Every report covers three things: what worked, what did not, and what we are changing next. And there are no lock-in contracts, so we earn the next month by selling out the last event. Founder-led since 2015, with a 4.9-star Google rating from 200-plus reviews.

Client results
Events, venues and artists that chose Juicy Designs to sell tickets and grow their audience.
“Our previous agency ran ads but never tied anything back to ticket sales. Juicy Designs rebuilt the whole funnel around our on-sale date, and we sold out two weeks before the gates opened for the first time ever. The daily sales tracking meant we always knew where every rand was going.”
“Weekends always sold themselves, but our weeknight shows were dead. Juicy Designs built an audience-growth engine on social and brought in creators who actually pull a crowd. Weeknight ticket sales are up 73% and we now have a following that turns up regardless of who is on the line-up.”
“Touring across South Africa means selling tickets in cities where nobody knows you yet. Juicy Designs ran city-by-city paid campaigns, lined up local media and creators in each market, and hit 4.9x return on ad spend across the run. Three of the dates sold out and the rest were close behind.”
