ShowHub is built around strengthening the local live music industry through connection, visibility, and community support. By creating clear pathways between artists, presenters, venues, and audiences, the platform helps ensure that live music is easier to discover, more accessible, and better supported across the region.
As a result, we have developed a set of partnership programs designed to support organizations and presenters whose work directly contributes to the growth, sustainability, and accessibility of the local live music ecosystem.
If you are interested in partnering with ShowHub, we invite you to get in touch. The outlines below serve as general guidelines, and individual partnerships can be tailored to reflect specific needs and circumstances.
Community Partnerships for Non-Profits
In our first year, we launched our Community Partnership Program, which offers reciprocal partnerships to non-profit organizations that curate and produce high-quality concert series. These organizations align closely with our mandates of inclusion and accessibility for all.
To support this work – particularly for groups with limited advertising budgets – we offer a cost-free reciprocal arrangement that increases visibility and awareness for both parties.
We provide:
- linked logo placement in the Community Partners section at the bottom of every page on the ShowHub website
- homepage buttons linking to the partner’s dedicated listings
- brand-colour borders on the listing grid images, to let them stand out
- cross-branded sharing images
- Instagram page highlights, maintained to always feature upcoming shows
- social media tags and mentions where appropriate
- newsletter and social announcements recognizing the partnership
In return, we require:
- Linked logo placement on the partner’s website
- Signage, cards, or other ShowHub branding displayed at events
- Direct acknowledgment of ShowHub as a sponsor at events and on promotional materials for shows where sponsors are recognized
- Social media tagging, collaboration, and mentions, as part of promotional posts for the shows
- Newsletter and social media recognition of the partnership, as applicable
Supportive Partnerships for Concert Presenters and Promoters
This program follows a similar structure to the Community Partnership Program, but is designed to support the long-term sustainability of the platform and reflect the additional time required to manage these partnerships. It also provides the highest level of visibility outside of featured show campaigns.
Many for-profit presenters run ticketed shows, which require significantly more resources to list than standard performances, particularly when they involve touring acts, artists not yet in our directory, or venues that have not previously been added to ShowHub.
During the introductory period, this tier involves a minimum $30 supportive contribution per show listed. This includes all elements of the Community Partnership Program, with the exception of Instagram highlights, which are offered at a higher baseline due to the ongoing time required to maintain them. After 2026, minimum pricing may be adjusted based on the volume and complexity of listings.
Rather than appearing in the Community Partners section, these partners’ logos are displayed in a dedicated Supportive Partners section of the website, positioning them as organizations that are directly supporting the sustainability of the platform.
ShowHub Metrics and Reach (August, 2026)*
For the month of August, the ShowHub website had 13,800 visits and 40,000 page views from users in British Columbia. The average time these users stayed per visit was 3 minutes and 26 seconds.
We were not running paid Meta ads through the summer, so our social media reach was fully organic. Our content had 8,000 views on Facebook, and 10,800 on Instagram in August.
We provide specifically BC-based metrics for our website traffic here to ensure the numbers are relevant to local businesses. Happy to provide more complete reports as requested.
*This is our busiest month of the year due to the number of outdoor events happening. We’ll add our new fall baseline at the end of October. September and January being the slowest months of the year.
