For brands
Nightlife sponsorship, with a number attached.
Brands skip nightlife because nobody can tell them how many people showed up. We can — the venue confirms it and the door scans it.

What a night costs per person in the room.
Divide what you spend by the people the venue confirmed. That’s your real cost per attendee — a person in the room for three or four hours, with your brand around them.

A follower count tells you who posts. A draw tells you who shows up.
- Follower countA different number — who follows, not who comes
- Venue capacityHow many could fit, not how many came
- “How it usually goes”An estimate from someone selling to you

- A headcount the venue confirmed after the night

- Disputed and unconfirmed counts are left out
- A rolling 90-day average, so it shows current form
What to look for
The same draw across several nights, not one big night. The rooms the numbers came from — 250 in a 300-person room means more than 250 at a festival.
What it isn’t
A promise. A draw is a record of what happened, not a forecast. The room, the date, the weather and the lineup still decide the night.
A crew that films the night, on the same booking.
A logo on a flyer is hard to justify twice. Add a creative package and the night leaves you footage you can use.
- Basic · a photographer
- Premium · a photographer, a videographer and marketing
- Deluxe · photo, video, an event host, a dancer and an organizer
- Gelatin matches vetted creatives from our roster
- You approve the work before the crew is paid. If they don’t deliver, you’re refunded for that role, minus a coordination fee.
The creative signs off on the final content. It belongs to you and the creative — Gelatin is just the tool you booked through.
Add crew (optional)
Add vetted creatives from Gelatin’s roster to the night — one invoice, held in escrow.
What you receive
Three ways this usually works.
Single night
Sponsor one event with a proven DJ in a room you picked from the record. The cheapest way to test the audience.
A series or residency
Back a recurring night. Repeat nights are where sponsorship pays off, and the draw shows by month two if it’s working.
Roster partnership
Back a group of DJs across a city. Best when you care about a scene, not one venue.
Start with one night and a real number.
