Marketing & Promotion
Your registration fee pays for your festival listing (website and brochure, if applicable).
Selling tickets and marketing your show is ultimately the artist’s responsibility. GICF supports all shows through:
Supplying a GICF branded show graphic for you
Organic social media
Email marketing
Press office outreach
To help you promote your show, check out our promotional guide.
Please note: the festival hosts hundreds of shows every year and we do not have the capacity to guarantee bespoke promotion for every show.
