Forte Jazz Lounge needed more than great musicians—they needed more eyes on their shows and more fans in their seats. We helped them grow their digital presence, build a thriving email list, and increase ticket sales by 25%, all while staying true to their unique brand.
Forte Jazz Lounge had the stage, the sound, and a loyal local following—but they knew there was more potential waiting to be tapped. Their goal? Bring in more first-time guests, increase repeat attendance, and build a real online audience without losing the magic of what made the venue special.
We took a multi-layered approach, starting with targeted Google and Meta Ads that highlighted upcoming shows, local appeal, and the intimate experience of live jazz in downtown Charleston. At the same time, we improved their Google Business Listing to boost visibility during high-intent local searches—especially for things like “live music Charleston” and “jazz near me.”
But Forte’s biggest growth driver? Email. We helped expand their list by 80% with on-site signup prompts and built automated campaigns that did more than just remind people of upcoming shows—they created a rhythm. Weekly lineups, artist spotlights, and personal notes from the venue kept engagement high and inboxes warm.
The result: a 40% boost in website traffic, over 1.2 million ad impressions, a 25% lift in ticket sales, and a 3.5x return on investment. Forte didn’t just fill more seats—they turned their audience into a community.
