Harness the strength of creator-led content

Live Hive is our propriety creator-driven tool to connecting taste-makers with Australia's entertainment sector. We work with creators to help their audiences authentically discover Australia's premier cultural events.

What is Live Hive

Live Hive is creator-led paid media for live entertainment, aligning trusted cultural voices with the country's biggest productions to build genuine advocacy at scale.

For Producers

A performance channel, not a publicity story. We curate and deploy the right creators based on alignment to your target audiences, making feed-stopping, brand-safe content that builds buzz, creates reusable assets and sells tickets. Every piece is shaped and approved to put the story the show wants to tell first.

For Creators

Your creative concierge to Australian entertainment. We bring you aligned, genuinely interesting and exclusive opportunities with the country's biggest productions and handle the detail so you can do your best work and make your feed sing.

The approach

Built bespoke around audiences and goals

Every Live Hive campaign is built from scratch around a real commercial goal and the specific audiences who can move it.

Creative Solutions For Ticketing

Whether it's helping to guide audiences into performance days with softer sales or helping them discover particular experiences, we shape the content around commercial goals.

Influence beyond the core

New audiences live outside the musical theatre network. We work with the creators who already hold their attention, voices who shape taste in their own worlds, to convert ticket-buyers outside of known circles.

How it works

How Live Hive works

We commission creator content that posts organically on influencers' channels, then put the best of it to work in paid social — with ticket sales tracked end to end. Every step points at one goal: seats sold.

Where it adds value

Live Hive creates real impact at all campaign phases. Whether activated before opening, straight after, or deep into a production's run, Live Hive moves the numbers.
