Case Study: Country Fest Queensland

WHAT THEY NEEDED

Country Fest Queensland was relocating its two-day festival from Mackay to Townsville, into a crowded Queensland country music market. The move meant building a local audience from scratch. They needed the transition to land cleanly, the ticket target met, and the wider region activated – not just country music fans, but families and the broader community.

What We Delivered

We ran paid social as the primary driver of ticket sales, built for a city where the event had no history and no existing audience.

Data analysis guided how budget shifted between segments as the campaign ran, and fed back into event strategy as sales built.

The call that mattered was not treating Townsville as a country music market alone. Families, the wider local community and surrounding drive markets were each targeted on their own terms – what a smaller city needs to fill two big days.

The Results

Country Fest Queensland landed the move and sold through, exceeding ticket sales targets by 21% across the two days. The local activation pulled well beyond the core country music audience, drawing families and community crowds from across the drive markets. The campaign returned a ROAS of 49.
