Live only · never recorded

Reach people while they are actually paying attention.

eResonate is a live music network. Your ad runs beside a performance someone chose to be at — not a feed they are scrolling past. Every show happens once, in a real room, in front of real people.

Open auction from a $6.00 CPM floor · guaranteed direct deals · self-serve from $50.

Why this audience

Attention you cannot buy in a feed.

Music is the rare context where people show up on purpose, stay for two hours, and care about what surrounds them. That changes what an impression is worth.

🎧

They chose to be there

Nobody arrives at a show by accident. Your ad sits inside an experience someone sought out and stayed with, not an interruption to something else.

Sessions measured in hours

A set runs one to three hours. Attention is sustained and repeat-visited rather than a three-second scroll past a thumbnail.

🫱

Verifiably human

Real venues, real artists, real fans in the room and in chat. There is no synthetic inventory here and nothing made for advertising.

This is the moment your ad sits inside. Not a scroll — a room, a set, and people who chose to be there.
Where your ads run

Seven surfaces, four formats.

Platform inventory spans the whole social network — not just the player. Buy any surface on its own or let the exchange find the best placement for your goal.

Creative on the network

What a campaign actually looks like.

Live display creative currently serving through the exchange. Native cards, banners and sidebar units all take the same assets — a logo, a headline, a line of copy and a call to action.

Brand safety

Brand-safe by construction, not by blocklist.

Most platforms make you filter your way out of trouble. Here there is less to filter, because of what the inventory is and how it is made.

Live only

Every show is performed once and never recorded or replayed. There is no back catalogue of old content for your ad to land beside.

Never AI-generated

No synthetic performers, no generated music, no made-for-advertising channels. A real artist is on a real stage.

Known venues and artists

Inventory comes from onboarded venues and verified artists, not an open publisher network of unknown sites.

Creative review

Every creative passes automated brand-safety review before it is allowed to bid, in both directions.

Where your spend goes

Two lanes, and one of them pays the artist directly.

eResonate keeps the lanes separate on purpose, and says which is which before you buy.

Platform

Social inventory — funds eResonate

Feed, discover, search, artist, venue, group and fan pages. This is the programmatic exchange, and this revenue is what keeps shows free to watch.

100%

In-show spots — to artists & venues

The :30 spots inside a performance are sold direct by our sponsorship team, and every dollar routes to the artist and the venue. eResonate keeps none of it.

Artists on eResonate earn over 22 times what all other platforms pay combined. Advertising is the reason. When you buy an in-show spot you are not sponsoring a platform, you are paying the people on stage — and you can say so in your own marketing.
Track record

250M+ live streams delivered.

The streaming engine behind eResonate is Livit, which has been running live events at scale for years — including for organisations that do not tolerate downtime.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask.

What is the minimum I can spend?

$50 on the open auction, which is genuinely self-serve. Guaranteed packages and in-show sponsorship start at $25,000 because they reserve inventory and involve our team.

How is this different from buying music or video inventory elsewhere?

Elsewhere you are usually buying against recorded catalogue, user-generated uploads, or an open network of unknown publishers. Here every impression sits beside a live performance in a known venue by a verified artist, happening once.

What creative do you accept?

Native cards, banners, sidebar units and search results. Native takes a logo, headline, one line of body copy, a call to action and a landing URL. Every creative passes automated brand-safety review before it can bid.

Can I target a specific artist, venue or city?

Yes. You can target by surface, genre, city and audience segment, and guaranteed packages can reserve a single artist or venue page outright.

How do I know an impression was real?

Reporting is served from the exchange itself rather than a tag you have to trust: spend, fill rate, CPM and CTR update live and reconcile across every device and page view.

Does my spend actually reach artists?

For in-show spots, all of it — that inventory is sold on the artist's behalf and eResonate keeps none of it. Platform inventory on the social surfaces funds eResonate, which is what keeps shows free to watch.
